Apr 14 - Garcia In Brussels To Meet Parliament And Commission
The Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Joseph Garcia, is in Brussels for a series of meetings in the European Parliament and with the European Commission.
This is Dr Garcia's second visit to the EU institutions this year and is designed to follow-up a number of issues which were raised during his previous visit in January as well as addressing ones that have arisen since then.
During this visit, meetings will be held in order to brief Members of the European Parliament on the latest developments relating to Gibraltar's position in the European Union. The MEPs have been selected on a cross-party basis and therefore come from different political groups. They also sit on different Committees.
The Deputy Chief Minister's meetings will centre on taxation, aviation and freedom of movement. The programme has been arranged by Sir Graham Watson who is now based at the new Brussels office.
Dr Garcia is accompanied by Michael Llamas, Attorney General designate and Chief Legal Adviser as well as Principal Secretary Caine Sanchez.
