Dominican, Haiti governments square off on poultry ban

Santo Domingo.- The Dominican government Monday night called Haiti’s proposal to continue banning Dominican poultry products and allow only meats, "totally unacceptable," after a four hour  meeting of officials from both countries failed to solve the one-week standoff.
After the meeting, Foreign minister Carlos Morales said president Danilo Medina was told "in a very clear, very transparent and quite frankly, that they didn’t see much interest on the Haitian side."
A visibly annoyed Foreign Minister, who headed the Dominican delegation in the more than four-hour meeting with Haiti to discuss lifting Port-au-Prince’s ban on chickens and eggs, said the Haitian officials called him during the weekend, and confirmed they were "coming to resolve."
