Abstract
In this report, Britain and Germany are opposing proposals for an increase in European Union aid to ACP countries. Peter Pooley, Deputy Director General of Development at the European Commission, speak about their objections and the main features of the revised trade offer. Suriname is set to become the fourteenth member of CARICOM later this month. CARICOM Secretary-General, Edwin Carrington states some of the key elements yet to be ironed out with regards to Suriname's acceptance. Meanwhile, Jamaica has won concessions from CARICOM for the importation of pharmaceuticals and flour. Jamaica's Trade Minister Dr. Paul Robertson gives the details on this issue. Baroness Young heads a trade mission to Cuba to promote British interests. Rosie Hayes asked Baroness Young if she has had any encouraging signs from the Cuban government of future reforms. In Jamaica, Bob Marley day is celebrated to mark the 50th anniversary of his birth.
