Abstract
In this report: Dominica's Prime Minister Edison James is off on a whirlwind tour of Europe to solicit support for Caribbean banana exports to Europe. The European Commission appears to be stepping back from its request to reopen negotiations with the US on the banana regime. In Trinidad and Tobago, a heated debate is continuing in Parliament to determine whether the Speaker can be allowed to sit in the Chair during a no confidence motion debate against her. Chile is set to become the fourth member of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) by the end of 1995. In Haiti, it is probable that the Mayor of the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince position has been captured by Haiti's best known protest singer Manno Charlemagne. Greg Chamberlain, analyst comments on what impact this could have. In Guyana, there are a growing number of applications for radio licences but government is yet to break the state monopoly. President Jagan comments on how long it would be before the state monopoly is broken.
