This law includes a wide variety of provisions intended to bring about a peaceful transition to a representative democracy and market economy in Cuba:

    * International Sanctions against the Castro Government. Economic embargo, any non-US company that deals economically with Cuba can be subjected to legal action and that company's leadership can be barred from entry into the United States. Sanctions may be applied to non-U.S. companies trading with Cuba. This means that internationally operating companies have to choose between Cuba and the US, which is a much larger market.
    * United States opposition against Cuban membership in International Financial Institutions.
    * Television broadcasting from the United States to Cuba.
    * Authorization of United States support for democratic and human rights groups and international observers.
    * Declares United States policy towards a transition government and a democratically elected government in Cuba.
    * Protection of property rights of certain United States nationals.
    * Exclusion of certain aliens from the United States, primarily senior officials or major stock holders, and their families, of companies that do business in Cuba on property expropriated from American citizens. To date, executives from Italy, Mexico, Canada, Israel, and the United Kingdom have been barred.
    * Provides power to the Legislative Branch to override a Executive Branch cancellation of the embargo.
    * Prohibits recognition of a transitional government in Cuba that includes Fidel or Raúl Castro
    * Prohibits recognition of a Cuban government that has not provided compensation for U.S. certified claims against confiscated property, defined as non-residential property with an excess of $50,000 value in 1959.

If you don't like it stay somewhere else.

It has nothing to do with wether you like it or not. It's nuts that american laws should apply at a hotel in Europe!
And by the way, I find it really hard to understand what USA got against Cuba anyway. You guys cannot for real still be afraid of " the red communists "?

Then why sell hotels to American companies. If the public doesn't feel it's fair have them buy it back from the American's, simple as that. If they wont then they can't complain what rules we put at OUR hotels.

According to the biggest news paper in Scandinavia, Cubans are not allowed to stay at Scandic hotels in Sweden or Norway, since Hilton Hotels bought them for a while. This is because an old American law called Helms-Burton, that forbids this to happen.

Scandic is the biggest hotel-franchising in Scandinavia, but because it´s American owned now, american law will apply on them to.

Si. Yo te puedo entender y yo puedo entender las palabras que escribé. Tuve una novia panamena una vez y ella me ayudió a aprender castellano.
