Caribbean Report 11-04-1995
The region's newest airline, Carib Express has begun an airline price war with its offer of buy one seat, get one free. Trinidad and Tobago is set to negotiate a new bilateral trade agreement with Venezuela. Trinidad and Tobago's Foreign Affairs Minister Ralph Maraj states that the new agreement will not jeopardise the existing Venezuelan pact with the whole of CARICOM. The Association of Caribbean States (ACS) Council of Ministers is expected to soon ratify the appointment of Venezuela's candidate as the Association's Secretary-General. Ralph Maraj comments on the accusations about the breaching of CARICOM trade rules and whether Trinidadian manufacturers encountered any barriers. The Washington-based human rights groups, Americas Watch and the National Coalition for Haitian Refugees compiled a report which concluded that the creation of an interim police force has aggravated tensions in Haiti. In cricket, Australia will carry a ninety run lead into the fourth day of the second test against the West Indies in Antigua.
