Gibraltar’s representation at the Labour Party Conference continued yesterday evening with the Gibraltar Reception hosted by the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and featuring a keynote speech by the UK Minister for Europe and the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty MP.
An article penned in weekly Conservative magazine ‘The Spectator’ this week follows a former institution that once bound together the Spanish and Gibraltar, namely the Royal Calpe Hunt. The magazine noted that the hunt proved ‘an outstanding example of the friendly cooperation between Gibraltar and Spain which sadly no longer exists’.
In line with the Government’s manifesto commitment to regulate fishing, diving and other marine activities in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW), the Government has today published the Marine Protection Regulations 2014 as well as the Tuna Preservation Regulations 2014 with the latter regulations specifically catering for the regulation of tuna fishing activities in BGTW. A number of other related enabling regulations have also been published.
