June 05 - GSD Statement On Fishing Report
Following the tabling of the Fishing Report commissioned by the Government in Parliament yesterday, the Opposition has had an opportunity of reviewing its contents. It intends, however, to carry out a more thorough review over the coming days.
Whilst the report appears to represent a detailed analysis of matters as wide ranging as, for example, fishing stocks, information relating to these, the relevant history and EU and international conventions, the important ‘elephant in the room’ issue for the public is whether there will be a solution found to the current uncertainty.
Commanding Officer Lt Col Colin Risso presented two Long Service and Good Conduct (LS & GC) Medals today. The LS & GC medal is awarded to personnel who have demonstrated 15 years of exemplary and irreproachable conduct.
The Commissioner of Police notes the publication and content of the fishing report: “The Active Management of Marine Living Resources in the Waters around Gibraltar” and the related press release issued on the 4th of June by the Government.
The Minister for Culture, Steven Linares, recently travelled to Reykjavik, Iceland, to attend the opening of an exhibition by the organisation ‘Little Constellation,’ of which Gibraltar is now a member. The exhibition attracted over 700 visitors in its first two days.
