European Commission Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation José Manuel Albares and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, together with the Chief Minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo, met in Brussels earlier today.
The PDP has today welcomed the Government’s ‘major coastal protection and beach regeneration at Sandy Bay. The party has previously pushed the administration to restore the beach and to build groynes to protect the area from further erosion. They note that the request fell on deaf ears with the former administration.
The PDP insists that a number of other aspects of the beach also contribute to its name, ‘the forgotten beach’, including the lack of car park spaces for beach goers, the ‘third world toilet and changing facilities’, the lack of police presence, and the lack of the beaches’ own lifeboats.

They were accompanied by Kyle and Michelle Porro, aged eight who look forward to making use of the donated equipment in due course.
Soldiers from the Royal Gibraltar Regiment returned home yesterday following a month long exercise in the UK.
The exercise know as Jebel Tarik is held annually in Brecon, Wales and is a mandated training camp which qualifies both Regular and TA Soldiers on all weapon systems. The exercise conducts live firing training but there is also plenty of conventional dry training using blank ammunition.
Major David King was the officer in charge of the exercise was pleased with how well the exercise went but more so that morale remained high throughout.
The double-standards of the Opposition are evident once again in the attitude that they have adopted to the publication of information by the Government once a meeting of Parliament has been called.
Their view is that the Government should not publish information in statements or otherwise which may impact on a question that is to be answered in Parliament.
However, they have no difficulty in asking questions in public on issues which are already the subject of Parliamentary questions which they have previously just tabled themselves. This shows that they apply one set of standards to the Government and another set of standards to themselves by proceeding to do very much the same thing that they complain about.
