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.

Newly elected Green Party MEP for the South West and Gibraltar Molly Scott Cato today took in Gibraltar, as a constituency, for the first time, with much of her visit involving briefings on environmental issues surrounding Gibraltar, including, areas of marine conservation.
Speaking to YGTV about her visit to the Rock during a tour of the frontier and the new implementations on the Gibraltar side, the Green MEP noted that as a new MEP ‘the purpose of [her] visit is to find out as much as [she] can about Gibraltar and its issues.’ She added, ‘I think that because I’m the first Green MEP for the South West of England and Gibraltar, the Government’s focused my visit a lot around environmental issues, so I’m finding out a lot about biodiversity and marine conservation areas and the nature reserve, and so on.’ She went on to also express her interest in the economy of Gibraltar, as a former economist.
