Caribbean Report 27-01-1989

The new EEC Development Commissioner is Spaniard, Manuel Marin Gonzalez. Gonzalez has built a reputation of being tough and an uncompromising negotiator. Interviews were conducred with Manuel Marin Gonzalez, EEC Development Commissioner; Evelyn Greaves, Barbados' Foreign Minister; Janey Buchan, Labour MP; and, Margaret Daly, Vice President of the Development Commission on the formation of LOME IV and its implications for trade with the ACP States. The International Cocoa Conference in London ended in total failure with producers and consumers unable to agree on revising measures to stabilise the world price of cocoa. The report continues with news of the past week in the British Press that are of interest to the Caribbean. These include Catholic Church expelled Bertrand de Aristide; comments on the International Cricket Conference on their stance on apartheid; and the attempted arrest of Nigel Benn, Commonwealth Middleweight champion. The report concluded with an interview with Nigel Benn as he defends his Commonwealth Middleweight crown against Zambia's Mike Chilambe on February 8th.
