Gibraltar Finance, together with members of the Gibraltar Funds & Investments Association (GFIA), will be attending and exhibiting at the EuroHedge Summit 2014 which will be held on the 29th and 30th April 2014 at the Palais de la Bourse, Paris.
The Government wishes to thank the emergency services and the technical staff of Gibelec for their excellent work at the Waterport power station on Sunday afternoon. The response was led by the Gibraltar Electricity Authority, the Royal Gibraltar Police and the City Fire Brigade, who were ably assisted by the Defence Fire Service.
The UK Labour party has written to UK Ministers asking them to confirm if the average border delay between Gibraltar and Spain now stands at over 90 minutes long.
The party claims that the latest data collected on the ground in Gibraltar, and seen by Labour, suggests that the average delay in March for travellers leaving Gibraltar and crossing into Spain was 91 minutes long, whilst the longest individual delay recorded at the crossing last month was 180 minutes long.
