The Opposition says it is concerned at the increase in tobacco smuggling activity in certain areas in Gibraltar which is now, according to them, “clearly getting out of control.”
The GSD says that it notes the “stark refusal by the Government to come clean” on whether changes to the Nature Protection legislation will allow Spanish Fishermen to fish with nets in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters without them actually having to apply for a licence in Gibraltar (e.g. by virtue of their existing membership of one of the Algeciras or La Linea Cofradias).
During the Chief Minister’s recent visit to Washington DC, he was the guest of honour at the Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars' (TWC) headquarters where he met the first group of 11 students to be participating in the Gibraltar Innovation and Entrepreneurship International Training Program. Over lunch with the interns, the Chief Minister said: “You are the pioneers, and I hope you can look back and see that you broke ground on something really special.”
Today, 14 November, is Gibraltar’s turn to feature on the UK Overseas Territories Family Facebook Page. The page can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-UK-Overseas-Territories-Family/540473239364441
