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 has said that the most recent in a series of post-Budget advertisements placed by the GSD in the Gibraltar Chronicle demonstrates that Mr Feetham “has not listened or had regard to any of the information provided to him in Parliament.”
The Government has stressed that, in view of the recent power outages, the latest of which was this morning, the issue is “one of stability in the network and not of generating capacity.” Gibraltar has, it says, “over capacity thanks to the generators that were brought in recently by the Government.”
The Mongolian Ambassador, HE Tulga Narkhuu recently visited Gibraltar House where he was briefed on the economic pillars of the Gibraltar economy, prior to an official visit to Gibraltar.
