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.
In line with the Government’s e-government commitment for the public service, Neil Costa, the Minister for the Port, is pleased to announce that the first phase of the Gibraltar Maritime Administration’s online services is now complete.
The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia and the Minister for Heritage Steven Linares recently paid a familiarisation visit to the Northern Defences in order to learn how to best proceed with the refurbishment and restoration of the area.
The Government has said that Mr Feetham's surprise at the marine regulations “is clearly focussed on the fact that the Government has been able to produce such a robust, yet sensible, set of regulations that will, at the same time, assist the protection of marine life whilst allowing legitimate activities such as rod and line fishing to continue.”
The Government has said that, in its “overriding eagerness to criticise everything that the Government does, the Opposition continues to jump the gun and to betray a distinct lack of knowledge across the board on a whole range of issues.”
