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 GSD has this morning presented a series of environmental policy proposals to create a “better and greener” Gibraltar. A new power station away from residential areas, more use of renewable sources of energy, vehicle emission controls and a new cycling rental scheme are just some of the ideas which the party will present to the electorate next month.
The Government has said that regeneration works have “completely transformed” Sandy Bay from its almost non- existent state into a sizeable beach that can be enjoyed year round. The project included two curved groynes and a conjoining submerged frontal breakwater. These were designed and constructed to protect the beach from the full impact of wave action, trap shifting sand and provide a new micro-environment for marine life.
