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 Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia held lengthy discussions today at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on a number of issues affecting Gibraltar, including the planned withdrawal from the European Union.
Following the Chief Minister’s and the Deputy Chief Minister’s oral evidence in London recently, the House of Lords Select Committee Inquiry exploring the implications of Brexit for Gibraltar has been urged by the Equality Rights Group to extend the system of parliamentary democracy on the Rock.
