Jan 19 - Chamber Publishes Agenda For Change In Employment Legislation
The Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce has, in consultation with employment law experts recently completed a detailed and extensive review of current Gibraltar employment legislation. Many parts of the local employment legislation are outdated, according to the Chamber, and modern business practices have changed considerably since some of the original legislation was introduced many years ago, and in some cases, several decades ago.

The Government of Gibraltar's Department of the Environment's bid to join the world’s largest global environmental network, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), has been successful. The positive news of the decision taken by the IUCN Council was communicated to the Government’s Department of the Environment late last week.
