Euro-solution Time?

YOUR SEPTEMBER 2000 ARTICLE ENTITLED "Speed Bumps," on the current state of logistics in Latin America Latin America, the Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and French-speaking countries (except Canada) of North America, South America, Central America, and the West Indies. . came at a good moment for all of us trying to get a head start on "third party logistics," or outsourcing of logistics to experts.

These companies must start laying more groundwork to provide solutions for Latin American countries List of American countries

  •  Antigua and Barbuda
  •  Bahamas
. Perhaps internal infrastructure and trade barriers are the main reasons for the delays, but they have to come up with a better solution than just: "Sit and wait your turn."

Maybe it's time that we Latin Americans learn to accept our differences, just as the Europeans did, and quickly advance negotiations for the Free Trade Area of the Americas The Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) (Spanish: Área de Libre Comercio de las Américas (ALCA), French: Zone de libre-échange des Amériques (ZLÉA), Portuguese: Área de Livre Comércio das Américas .

Not What It Seems

I FOUND THE SEPTEMBER 2000 article "All That it Seams?" on the Rawling's baseball factory in Costa Rica interesting. But, as a baseball lover, I feel obligated ob·li·gate

Major League Baseball (MLB) is the highest level of play in North American professional baseball.

Latins at Bat

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECENT INCLUSION OF major league baseball's player information in the July 2000 issue. As you can see, major league baseball's composition is very Latin driven. We have started an aggressive game plan for the region, including extensive television, sponsorship and licensing deals throughout Latin America.

This year alone, we played major league pre-season games in the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Venezuela. In addition, our recruitment of players in the region continues to expand more each day.
