European Commission Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation José Manuel Albares and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, together with the Chief Minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo, met in Brussels earlier today.
The GSD Opposition has renewed its concerns that the Government did not advertise or open up to competition the post in relation to the appointment of Jason Cruz as the Gibraltar Government representative at the newly opened Hong Kong Office and deputy United Kingdom representative at the London Office.
The Minister for Europe, David Lidington, will visit Gibraltar on Monday 30 June and Tuesday 1 July. The visit will enable the Minister to visit the Gibraltar-Spain border to witness first-hand the continuing delays at the crossing, to hold discussions with the Government and meet a wide range of people.
