Additionally, there is a mid-February meeting planned with the British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook. Anguilla's Chief Minister Hubert Hughes argues that London should devolve more power to the political representatives and deliver more economic development. However, Jamaican politician Delroy Chuck disagrees on the issue of more control. The US has criticised proposals put forward by the EU to change its rules on banana imports from developing countries. As tens of thousands of Cubans attend the first ever mass by a Pope in Cuba, Pope John Paul II calls for religious education in schools in Cuba. Ironically, the US is well-represented in Cuba during this visit as Senator Jesse Helms, co-author of the Helms Burton legislation sent a delegation. Marc Thiessen comments on why Helms put a stamp of approval on the papal visit since he is an ardent proponent of the isolation of Cuba. In Guyana, CARICOM Chairman Dr. Keith Mitchell met with the political parties and spoke to the media about exercising sensitivity and responsibility when reporting about events in Guyana.1.
