	Caribbean Islands - The Increased Role of the United States
		United States concerns heightened in the early 1980s as the result of a renewal of Cuban subversion in the Caribbean Basin region; the growing insurgency in El Salvador; the Soviet-assisted military buildups in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Grenada; and the flight of refugees from Cuba, Haiti, and other Caribbean islands, as well as from Central America.
		In explaining its participation in the Grenada operation, the United States government cited, in addition to the aforementioned OECS appeals, the need to ensure the safety of the roughly 1,000 United States students on the island, whose lives it claimed were endangered by the breakdown of law and order and a "shoot-on-sight" curfew.
		Of particular concern to United States policymakers was the potential use of the island as a Soviet-Cuban base for intervention in nearby governments, interdiction of vital sea-lanes, reconnaissance by long-range aircraft, and transport of troops and supplies from Cuba to Africa and from Eastern Europe and Libya to Central America.

		The Eastern Caribbean Press Council (ECPC), as it is to be known, will be an independent, self-regulating body, involved in promoting a defined code of practice to encourage and sustain professional ethics and freedom among newspapers and other publications in Barbados and countries of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).

		The Eastern Caribbean's newest prime minister is trying to put sub-regional unity back on the agenda as members of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) face their toughest financial and political challenges in two decades.
		Ralph Gonsalves, prime minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines, said the St Lucia-based organisation is the only platform that can ensure the continued viability of its nine tiny member states: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines.
		The OECS itself acknowledged, in an internal memo last year, that "member states are either unable or unwilling to sustain the organisation at current budgetary levels" and "it is necessary to effect cut backs in the size and budget of the organisation."

	AEGiS-AFP News: Caricom-health-AIDS: Haiti, small Caribbean islands to get cheaper HIV/AIDS drugs - April 24, 2003
		Edward Greene, Caricom Assistant Secretary General for Human and Social Development, told AFP the Bill Clinton Foundation on HIV/AIDS and the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) are assisting the Caribbean in negotiating cheaper prices for anti-retroviral drugs with six leading pharmaceutical firms.
		He said negotiators have already secured brand-name anti-retroviral drugs at a cost of 800 dollars for other Caribbean countries, down from the 1,000 dollars that the region and the companies had agreed to last July at a world AIDS conference in Spain.
		Guyana is also listed as one of the most affected countries in the Caribbean region but the Caricom official said that country was excluded from negotiations for lower prices because it produces generic drugs.

	Eastern Caribbean States Express Concern Over CSME
		Concerned at a widening trade imbalance between themselves and the rest of the Caribbean, the member nations of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) have agreed to press members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) for preferential treatment with respect to the Single Market Economy, which is being introduced this year.
		In a joint communique issued after OECS leaders concluded a summit last Friday, it was noted that the deficit between the sub-regional bloc and the 15 nation CARICOM had widened from US$214 billion in 1980 to US$418 billion in 2003.
		However, despite concerns from the small economies of the OECS that they will be on an unequal footing economically with their larger peers in the community, St.Vincent Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalvez, the chairman of the OECS, stated that Eastern Caribbean nations are "committed" to the initiative.
