Written by YGTV Team on 13 July 2016.

The Gibraltar Police Federation strongly condemns the recent inaccurate statements made in the Spanish media, and by the Spanish Foreign Ministry accusing members of the Royal Gibraltar Police Marine Section of “dangerous and irresponsible navigation”.

A spokesman for the Federation said: "These comments are palpably untrue and it is clear to the Federation that they are misinformed.

"The Federation welcomes the statements made by HM Government of Gibraltar, the UK Government Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Royal Gibraltar Police in this regard and echoes these views.

"Although the Federation embraces good working relationships with all law enforcement agencies, it remains ever mindful of its members’ welfare, and calls on its Guardia Civil and SVA counterparts to pursue a policy of mutual respect underpinned by true and meaningful communication in order to uphold the law, and in order to work safely together.

"The Federation will contact its colleagues in the European Confederation of Police (EuroCOP) regarding this matter in order to uphold its members’ rights."
