European Commission Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, Spanish Minister for ForeignAffairs José Manuel Albares and UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron, together with the Chief Minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo, met in Brussels on Thursday 16th May.
The Government says it notes, “with disappointment”, the European Parliament’s objection, today, to the entry into force of the European Commission’s decision to remove certain jurisdictions, including Gibraltar, from the EU’s list of ‘high-risk’ third-countries with strategic deficiencies as regards anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (“AML/CFT”).
Below follows a statement from Together Gibraltar:
Together Gibraltar is deeply concerned by reports of the difficulties being faced by Gibraltarians crossing into Spain and reports of potential fines for those leaving the Campo area.
The Governor, Vice Admiral Sir David Steel, has awarded his Commander-in-Chief’s Commendation to former Regimental Sergeant Major WO1 Dan Henderson and to the Bandmaster, WO1 Tom Rundle-Wood.
