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”).
In its first morning of operation, the new border queue complaints procedure had over 20 complaints, including some from Spanish visitors to Gibraltar.
Mirror columnist Brian Reade has today claimed that the current dispute between Gibraltar and Spain is doing nothing but boost Prime Minister David Cameron’s popularity ahead of next year’s general election. Within his column, Mr. Reade today insisted that he believes Gibraltar should be given back to Spain.
