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 FSC has today launched an online survey offering stakeholders the opportunity to comment on its current website. In line with its commitment in the Strategic Plan and Business Plan, the FSC is aiming to revamp and redevelop its website in 2015, with this survey acting as the initial stage.
A series of informative plaques explaining the traditional names of some of Gibraltar’s oldest streets are being placed on buildings across town. The Government project kicked off this morning with the unveiling of two plaques: one at the bottom of Castle Street (La Calle Comedia) and one just next to it on Cornwall’s Parade (La Plaza de la Verdura). The Government has relied on the input and support of the Gibraltar Musuem, the Gibraltar Heritage Trust and several local historians.
