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 Leader of the Opposition Daniel Feetham yesterday morning participated in seminar organised by the University of Cadiz with students at Jerez entitled “Gibraltar y las controversias hispano-británicas” where he gave Gibraltarian perspective on some of the issues affecting Gibraltar-Spanish relations such as the sovereignty of British-Gibraltar Territorial waters, where for example, he explained the Gibraltarian position of why the Spanish doctrine of “costa seca” (i.e. that Gibraltar was ceded without territorial waters) was not correct whilst at the same advocating a policy of de-escalation, engagement and dialogue with Spain.

The Environment Minister’s response to the statement issued by the Opposition raising the very real and serious concern that there is in relation to the macaques fails to address the immediacy of the problem. The party has raised specific examples of serious incidents where peoples’ safety is being put at risk. We have raised, particularly, the concern that there is for children’s safety, citing the example of the monkey which jumped into a baby’s pram in order to snatch food. The reports keep coming in, most recently in relation to Mount Alvernia, which we are told is being habitually visited and invaded by a pack of monkeys. This, as can be imagined, is causing considerable distress to the elderly residents and visitors alike. As recently as a few days ago a monkey was found on the bed of an elderly resident whilst the bed was occupied by her.
