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.
Marianito está que babea de satisfacción porque unos inspectores de la UE le han hecho los coros y han firmado un papelito que dice que en Gibraltar se hace contrabando de tabaco y se blanquea el dinero con lo que ha quedado clarísimo que en la UE también están los más tontos de cada casa.
The Government says it has filed a complaint with the Director General of OLAF, the European Union's Anti-Fraud Office, in relation to the conduct of Mr Joaquin Gonzalez-Herrero, who is an OLAF adviser in one of the investigative Directorates of that organisation.
During his visit, which included a tour around the new frontier implementations on the Gibraltar side, by No.6 Principal Secretary Caine Sanchez, he met with current Chief Minister Gilbert Licudi. The principal aim for his trip, however, follows a question the Earl tabled to new European Commission President Jean Claude Juncker regarding free movement in the EU, which the Earl claims Mr. Juncker believes is an ‘absolutely fundamental tenant of the EU’. ‘But there doesn’t seem to be free movement, or sufficient free movement between Gibraltar and Spain…’ the Earl insisted.
