EU to aid Jamaica

THE EDITOR, Sir:

The Delegation of the European Union (EU) to Jamaica would like to underline that its assistance in the restoration efforts following the recent civil unrest will not be limited or specified to the community of Tivoli Gardens.

While the body of the article written in The Gleaner dated Thursday, June 3, titled 'EU steps in to aid Tivoli', accurately reflects our statement, the headline could be construed as misleading to persons who are unfamiliar with the nature and work of the European Union.

We believe it must be emphasised that the EU will examine how existing and upcoming programmes can help the Government meet its efforts under the National Trans-formation Programme, a pro-gramme aimed at bringing social development to communities right across Jamaica.

I am, etc.,

The Delegation of the

European Union
