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”).
UK MPs have written to the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, urging the international alliance to “take notice of…Spain's behaviour" towards Gibraltar, according to the website The Spain Report.
Former prominent British politician and Liberal-Democrat leader Paddy Ashdown has confirmed his participation in this year’s edition of the Gibunco Gibraltar International Literary Festival. The Rt Hon Lord Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon GCMG KBE PC will be speaking about his latest book ‘Game of Spies’ recently published by HarperCollins.
We who live in the area of the Strait of Gibraltar are privileged. It is a hot spot in both history and biodiversity. It is a place of crossing cultures and migratory routes of humans and animals. Two continents meet from north to south and two seas from east to west. This entails invaluable cultural and biological wealth, which has driven the creation of hundreds of articles describing this diversity. For now we will focus on a single group of animals that, as mariners, makes us happy to observe. We refer to cetaceans; seven are the species that we can see regularly in our environment and are as follows:
- National Day Bank Holiday is on Monday 5th September
- Political Rally on 10th September
The Self Determination for Gibraltar Group (SDGG) wishes to remind the general public that the National Day bank holiday falls on Monday 5th September 2016 and not on Monday 12th September 2016.
