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.
A 33 year old local man was arrested in a joint interdiction by officers of the Royal Gibraltar Police and HM Customs on Sunday evening. The man had driven across the Land Frontier in a locally registered car shortly after 8p.m. and had been challenged by officers of HM Customs; he then attempted to leave the area in his car at speed, driving into a Customs Officer in the process of leaving the HM Customs precinct.
A pursuit by HM Customs ensued and the man was stopped by Officers of the Royal Gibraltar Police and HM Customs in theWaterport area.
The ESG is very pleased to see that the Government has taken heed of the concerns expressed by many in the community, as well as the ESG's own objections to the original plans regarding the Floatel, which involved the reclamation of an important water feature at Ocean Village.
The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia has left for Belgium today in order to attend a number of meetings with European Commission officials and MEPs.
In addition to this, Dr Garcia has been invited by Sir Graham Watson MEP to speak at a conference in Brussels organised by the International Centre for Parliamentary Studies (ICPS) on the subject of "Maritime Security for Blue Growth". Dr Garcia will address the issue from a Gibraltar perspective, given Gibraltar's important geographical location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.
