agreements on Jree trade, nevertheless, quantitative and
other barriers exist to a large extent: 7fPPWI


PEAKING ON NOVEMBER 8TH
7,at a ceremony to launch
fIW- "Satzenbrau- beer, a new product
of Grenada Breweries Limited,
Minister of Finance Mr George Brizan said
total exports of the countries of the
Organisation Of East Caribbean States
(OECSS) to Trinidad & Tobago is worsening.

"Today, he said, "we are still faced 'with
i certain non-tariff barriers and quantit-
tative restrictions in penetrating that
market."
Figure Had Risen.
In 19o0, the Minister said, the
t"-CS exported approximately | -
EC$99 million to Trinidad
& Tobago. the OECS

a ar ket and, 10 -
years later, that% ^4 ..*
figure had risen to
i6104 m ilion.

LMr Brizan said, however,
that a closer examination of
the situation shows a
S differentL picture.
SBetween 1980 and
S- 193, he said, OECS-
exports to Trinidad
.- _ ri . & Tobago increased
from EC$99 tof
iEC$ 145 million, and
4 after 1983 there
' -was a slump to
EC$104 million


At the sa:me
S HR FRED TOPPING time, the Minis-
' ter said, Trini-
dad:I & Tobago annual exports to the OECS
increased by_ EC$46 million over the


period Iou bto 1990.

The marketing of e
"S-atenbrau, beer is to
be geared mainly to
expo "" rts in C ARICOM,
and Mr t, izanrt promised
Governments support ' e
"in a very practical
1war y in tha market-

iI ,1All CARICOM countries

Grena:3da is subscribing to both the spirit
and letter .: that agreement.
At The Highest Level
If the marketing of rSatzenbrau.
encounters any trade impediments,i
quantitative restrictions and non-
tariff barriers, he said, Government!
will take the matter up and have it
resolved at the highest level

forgiveness of debt means debt owe to other
Governments, it does not invludE CGvernment's debts owed
to commercial sources


TURNING TO GRENADA
S6I- ont October 24th from the
recently concluded 50-nation
Commonwealth Summit held in
Harare, Zimbabwe, Prime Minister
icholas Brathwaite said, at an airport
press conference, the Summit decided
economic aid tco Eastern Europe should
Snot diminish aid to needy countries of the
Western World.

"It must be remembered there are.
countries......... which need economic assist-
nce" he said, "and in no way should we
allow flows to the Soviet Union and Eastern
Europe to deny other countries, "which
have practiced democracy for a long time,
Sb adversely affected.

Mr Brathwaite said the British Prime
Minister, Mr John Major, told the
Summit his Government, in collab-
oration with the "Paris Club' of
industralised nations, will ensure
economic assistance will continue
to 'this part of the world" and the
Club will have to find new sources
of funds for Eastern Europe and the
Soviet Union-
Forgiveness Of Debt
Another matter discussed by the S-ummit
was the "forgiveness of debt", Mr
Brathwaite said, but he warned these
concessions are for very poor countries
and Grenada is not considered to be in
that category .

-e warned also that forgiveness of debt
a this context means debt owed to th er
government, it does not include Govern-
:,ent's debts owed to commercial sources.

than, the Summit discussions. However,
he did not believe it would be diplomatic,

in general terms, he said, he had had
bilateral talks in which markets were

miles off the north coast of Grenada with
a population of some 6,000 people, has

that island, who have brought in cigarettes
arid liquor from the free ports of the
region for sale in Carriacou and on the
