The Government of Gibraltar has welcomed statements by Sñr Arias Cañete, Spanish Minister for the Environment, to the effect that Spain will start legal proceedings against the United Kingdom in the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in respect of the various reclamations and the artificial reef created by Gibraltar in the Bay of Gibraltar.
The Governments of the United Kingdom and of all UK Overseas Territories have declared that they will continue to support the people of Gibraltar and have urged the Spanish Government to de-escalate tensions with Gibraltar, including at the border and within British Gibraltar Territorial Waters.
The Royal Gibraltar Police has received several reports from persons who have either been telephoned or received e-mails purporting to be from a bank seeking to verify details relating to their bank accounts.
The Chief Minister will be addressing the Law Faculty of Cadiz University tomorrow evening. Mr. Picardo has been invited by the University to give a Talk at its premises in Algeciras.
The title of the talk is ‘Gibraltar, its relations with the Campo Area and Opportunities for the Future.’ During his brief stay in Algeciras, the Chief Minister will hold a Press Conference for local and Spanish media.
