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”).
An article penned in weekly Conservative magazine ‘The Spectator’ this week follows a former institution that once bound together the Spanish and Gibraltar, namely the Royal Calpe Hunt. The magazine noted that the hunt proved ‘an outstanding example of the friendly cooperation between Gibraltar and Spain which sadly no longer exists’.
In line with the Government’s manifesto commitment to regulate fishing, diving and other marine activities in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW), the Government has today published the Marine Protection Regulations 2014 as well as the Tuna Preservation Regulations 2014 with the latter regulations specifically catering for the regulation of tuna fishing activities in BGTW. A number of other related enabling regulations have also been published.
