Dec 06 - Chief Minister addresses Chamber of Commerce
The Chief Minister, the Hon Fabian Picardo, MP, has said the biggest challenge to his Government has been the attitude of Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia Margallo and the Partido Popular Government but that the Gibraltar Government believes all issues can only be resolved in one way: “Dialogue, Dialogue, Dialogue.” Speaking in a mid-term address to the Chamber of Commerce, yesterday evening, the Chief Minister reminded those present that during the previous Chief Minister’s term of Office from 1996 and 2000, lengthy queues were the order of the day – although the particularly vicious pedestrian queue is a new phenomenon. Gibraltar was referred to as a Tax Haven with talk of 80,000 companies and the frontier was closed by fishermen as a result of a dispute. Extensive searches of vehicles were carried out causing 2 hour queues and 7,000 complaints were received by the European Commission. The Spanish Foreign Minister, at the time, Abel Matutes called Gibraltar “The Dirty Money Colony” and talked of the mafias using the Rock for money laundering.
