The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, today met with the Foreign Secretary, Rt Hon Lord David Cameron, at the Foreign Office in London in order to discuss the outstanding issues and matters in the ongoing negotiation with the European Union in relation to Gibraltar.
The Government has today published a Command Paper for a Gibraltar Consultative Council Act. The proposed Act reflects the decision of the Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, to propose a body for Gibraltar which would be similar to the Privy Council in UK. This proposal was included within the Chief Minister’s Budget Speech in June 2014.
The Borders and Coastguard Agency (BCA) recently launched www.gibraltarborder.gi an informative website devoted to increasing knowledge of the Agency and designed to provide real time travel updates. This includes land frontier queue information as well as access to real time frontier queue cameras, its Twitter feed @gibraltarborder along with flight and cruise liner schedules, making the website an effective travel planner. Travellers planning a trip to Gibraltar can, prior to travelling, use the interactive Visa and Entry section to confirm whether they require a Visa to enter Gibraltar or if they qualify for a Visa Waiver.
