Antigua's Aviation Minister, Robin Yearwood has dismissed demands by St. Vincent's Prime Minister James Mitchell for LIAT to settle its debts to CARICOM governments. After failure by EU countries to reach an agreement over aid funding to the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) countries, the European Commission (EC) expects a resolution in the near future. The Dominica Conservation Association has been very vocal about the plutonium ships accessing Caribbean waters and is calling on the region to question the reprocessing procedure of toxic wastes by large nations like Britain and France. The Governor-General of Bahamas, Sir Orville Turnquest stated that Bahamas is negotiating to stay out of any trade agreements and favoured remaining outside a wider hemispheric group. In Bermuda, the Opposition, the Progressive Labour Party, attempted unsuccessfully to censure the Governor of Bermuda in the House of Assembly. The Opposition was enraged that the Governor appointed British police officers as Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of Police.
