STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA THE HONOURABLE LESTER B. BIRD AT THE OPENING OF THE SPECIAL EMERGENCY MEETING OF CARICOM MINISTERS RESPONSIBLE FOR INFORMATION, ANTIGUA, 28 JANUARY 2002

Mr Chairman, Honourable Prime Minister, Ministers, Distinguished Participants, Ladies and Gentlemen.

There can be no question that a great void now exists in the flow of information in the Caribbean.

Throughout the Region, newspapers and radio and television stations are devoid of news and information about events in the Caribbean.

Even the largest of the media entities - those that claim to serve an area wider than the limitations of their national boundaries - have very little information about events outside their national confines.
