The Government says it notes, “with disappointment”, the European Parliament’s objection, today, to the entry into force of the European Commission’s decision to remove certain jurisdictions, including Gibraltar, from the EU’s list of ‘high-risk’ third-countries with strategic deficiencies as regards anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (“AML/CFT”).
The Government says that it has clearly explained that full details on the new LNG power station and storage facilities will be given when the full safety assessment on the final details have been received. Number Six says that any information given before this will be “inaccurate” and therefore to release any such information would be “irresponsible”.
Lieutenant-General Edward Davis CB CBE has been appointed as Governor of Gibraltar and Commander-in-Chief to succeed Lieutenant-General Sir James Benjamin Dutton KCB CBE.
