Aug 06 - Government Complains to European Commission Over Spain's Proposed Frontier Implementations
The Government has expressed concern to the European Commission following the Spanish Government’s announcement to create a new regime for workers crossing the frontier. Deputy Chief Minister Dr. Garcia insisted that this ‘creates special rights and privileges for one category of EU nationals over all the others’, meaning that others including residents of both sides that are not cross border workers and tourists alike will be denied the ‘dame rights under the special regime Spain proposes to put in place. ‘
The Government announced yesterday that major refurbishment works had been carried out to Bado’s Building.
The Government has said it is surprised by the statements of the Opposition on a Bill to exempt a small part of the Casino from the provisions of the Smoke- Free Environment Act when after 16 years in Government the GSD “wholly failed to introduce any measures to control or prevent smoking in any premises in Gibraltar, and consequently permitted smoking in all establishments in Gibraltar including of course the entirety of the Casino.”
