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 their final policy press conference before tomorrow’s general election, the GSLP-Libs have pledged to make Gibraltar an international “centre of excellence” for online gaming by working closely with top professionals in the industry and heading off any challenges.
The GSD has said that it is a matter of public interest that although five months have passed since the public joint announcement of the Blue Water development, no money has yet been paid. The GSD has replied to today’s comments from Mr Holliday (as Managing Director of Worth Consulting Limited) and Camoren Holdings as follows:
Following the success of the first visit of assistants of Members of the European Parliament to Gibraltar in June, the Government’s Representation to the EU in Brussels has once again organised a familiarisation visit of assistants to Gibraltar. The visit supports work carried out by the Government on a day-to-day basis in Brussels to raise awareness about Gibraltar and the challenges that it faces.
