Brussels / Washington, 19/01/2001 (Agence Europe) - Just a few days from his departure from the White House, President Bill Clinton decided to suspend for six months more the application of extra-territorial provisions of the United States' Helms-Burton law concerning Cuba. The action, officially intended to "strengthen international cooperation for the promotion of a pacific democratic change" in this neighbouring country, was notified to the Congress last Wednesday. It in fact adjourns for the nth time the implementation of chapter III of this legislation, which opens the way to court action against companies - mainly the several European companies targeted - supposed to be trafficking from properties confiscated by Fidel Castro's regime.
