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”).
Following the announcement of Michael Llamas QC’s post as Attorney General designate, the Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the fact that a Gibraltarian has been appointed to such an important position claiming that it is ‘a reflection of the quality of Gibraltar’s home-grown talent’.
The Government says that, speaking for itself and for all residents of Laguna Estate, it is “delighted to note” that the GSD and Mr Edwin Reyes have remembered the existence of the estate now that they are in opposition. This compares with their “dismal record” of having forgotten the estate when they were in office, says Number Six.
