The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia has said that although Gibraltar prefers a treaty to govern our relationship with the European Union, there are fundamental red lines which the Government is not prepared to cross in order to achieve it. Dr Garcia was speaking in Brighton today at the annual party conference of the U.K. Liberal Democrats.
The PDP are concerned at the clear suggestion made by environmental expert Dr Tydeman to the British Parliamentary Committee last week that the Royal Navy appear unwilling to answer requests by the Commissioner of the RGP to patrol British Gibraltar Territorial Waters for fear of upsetting the Spanish Government.
The party insists that the British Government is miserably failing to carry out its constitutional role to defend Gibraltar’s waters and thereby allow the RGP to enforce laws by carrying out arrests.
Officers of the Royal Gibraltar Police Drug Squad have yesterday arrested and charged a 27 year old local male in relation to drugs offences.
Keiron Peter Lagares, aged 27, of Chilton Court was charged with one count of possession of a controlled drug, approximately 1.5 grams of cocaine and one count of importing the said 1.5 grams of cocaine.
In response to the GSD's questioning over a private company registered with a Government address, the Government has released a statement noting that they are committed, to implementing business start up and nurture schemes in order to assist entrepreneurs and persons setting up their own companies.
A statement adds, 'in line with this policy, the Employment Service has been assisting a number of unemployed or self-employed entrepreneurs to incorporate their own companies. This work is done in-house and Government officials are originally shown as shareholders and a Government address is originally provided as the first registered office of the company. The Government in this way finances the setting up of the companies and charges the entrepreneurs for the disbursements only.
