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 Government says it has a robust agenda on equality issues and that, as part of its awareness action plan, the Department of Equality is introducing a series of lectures and seminars aimed at the private sector to show how an inclusive business can mean a more profitable business.
The French Consul, M Pierre Fayaud has written to the Chief Minister to thank both him and ‘the great people of Gibraltar’ for all their support following the terrorist attacks in Paris on 13 November.
