CUBA: EU overtures rebuffed… for now
In the same week that the European Union (EU) managed to strain
relations with Latin America by adopting a controversial common immigration
policy, it made a notable concession to Cuba, the only country in the region
with which it previously had strained relations. The EU decided to drop the
sanctions it imposed on Cuba in 2003, in the wake of a crackdown on political
dissidents, in recognition of the “recent changes initiated by Raúl
Castro".
