Caribbean diplomats in Brussels express mixed feelings about the modification of the European Union (EU) controversial banana regime. The European Commission proposed an increase in its tariff quota for bananas imported from Latin America. In Haiti, the government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide is under pressure as accusations of planned electoral fraud and involvement in an assassination plot surface in the run-up to elections in June. Trinidad and Tobago is expected to play a key role as Britain expands its trade and investment ties with Latin America and the Spanish Caribbean. John Jardim, Managing Director of Republic Bank of Trinidad and Tobago comments on what this means for the rest of CARICOM. Hugh Crosskill highlights the angry media and public reactions to the West Indies cricket team after a crushing ten wicket defeat by Australia. Sir Clyde Walcott, former West Indies player and Chairman of the International Cricket Council looks at the weight being carried by the West Indies team. West Indies players Winston Benjamin, Jimmy Adams and Brian Lara comment on the burden of having to balance the pride and pressure of a winning record.
