In The Resident’s edition ofJanuary 7, we printed an article in which we had erroneously identified the Chairman of the British Portuguese Chamber of Commerce (BPCC) as the late Mr John K Burnett. Our unreserved apologies go to the family of the late Mr Burnett for this error and for any distress caused. We also apologise to the BPCC for any embarrassment caused to the association and to the current Chairman, Mr Bruce Dawson.
