Abstract
In Saint Lucia there continues to be concerns over the missing UN funds but there have been no calls for government resignations. The tenth meeting of the Executive Committee of the Caribbean Association of Indigenous Banks (CAIB) opened in St. Lucia. Caribbean students are having a hard time coping in the American education system according to the Caribbean Research Center. Head of the Center, Dr. George Irish comments on some of the problems facing Caribbean students. CARICOM Secretary-General, Dr. Edwin Carrington has called for more private sector involvement in regional decision making. Caribbean Association of Industry and Commerce (CAIC), Chief Executive Pat Thompson states that the onus was on CARICOM governments to invite the private sector to key conferences. A German importer of bananas from Latin America has lodged a complaint with the German Constitutional Court against the EU's import rules. Twenty- five years after the black power movement, Trinidad and Tobago reflects on the quest for black power and what has been achieved in the intervening years. Dr. Gordon Rohlehr and Selwyn Ryan comment on the need for black consciousness.
