Mar 21 - Technical Notice – No Deal Brexit – Healthcare
The Government has published the following technical notice regarding healthcare:
In November 2018, the European Union (the “EU”) and the United Kingdom (the “UK”) concluded the terms of a Withdrawal Agreement providing for the UK’s orderly departure from the EU. Gibraltar forms part of these arrangements. The Agreement includes a transition period until the end of 2020. The transition period would also apply to Gibraltar. The Agreement has been debated and voted upon at length but is still subject to ratification by the UK Parliament and the European Parliament. In the meantime, HM Government of Gibraltar (“HMGoG”) continues to plan for the eventuality that the UK and Gibraltar may leave the EU without this Agreement.
Unite the Union, Gibraltar NASWT and GGCA say they have been in joint discussions regarding May Day for the past few months.
The GSD says it continues to be approached by local fishermen who are angry at the levels of illegal Spanish fishing that is taking place in our waters and at the “double standards” of the authorities who are policing the permit scheme.
