Aug 08 - GSD Calls For Full Disclosure Of EU Border Recommendations
The GSD says it notes and welcomes the report in the press regarding the Commission’s description of the border delays as “disproportionate”. The party notes, however, that the report is based on comments made by Mr Cercone, the spokesman for the EU Home Affairs Commissioner and is not an official statement. The GSD says it understands, also from these same press reports that a further letter, dated 30th July, has been written to presumably the UK and Spain making further recommendations to be met over the next three months. If the date is correct, the letter would have been sent now more than a week ago.

The Government has confirmed that the proposed exemption to the smoking ban will only apply to a small area within the Casino, measuring some 10% of the Casino floor space. In effect, it says, the small area will be glassed in with strong air extraction equipment for the locating of slot machines, and without any other service being available in the space. No food or drinks will be served and no staff will be required to enter the area whilst in use.
