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, leaves Gibraltar tomorrow to speak at the UN Committee of 24 in New York. The Chief Minister will be accompanied by the Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Joseph Garcia, and the Chief Secretary, Mr Ernest Gomez. On Monday evening they will travel to Washington for a series of meetings before returning to Gibraltar on Thursday.
The Government is inviting expressions of interest from developers, investors or organisations interested in developing plots on the Eastside Reclamation Area.
