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 Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister have left Gibraltar this morning to arrive in Brussels this evening to work with Attorney General Michael Llamas, who has been in Brussels all week working on the coordination of the high level meeting.
