Apr 16 - Deputy Chief Minister Meets EU Migration And Border Management Commissioner
The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia yesterday met with EU Migration and Border Management Commissioner Dimitris Avramopolous and discussed the latest developments at the land frontier between Gibraltar and Spain.
Commissioner Avramopolous replaced Commissioner Malmstrom last year.
Dr Garcia presented the Commissioner with a report containing the latest statistical information on the incoming and outgoing delays at the border. He also expressed the concern of the Government at the way in which the works on the Spanish side are adversely affecting the flow of traffic and added that the queue data for March 2015 was worse than for January and February.
The Government says it has already been informed in previous meetings by the Commission that Gibraltar has done everything that had been requested in terms of complying with the recommendations that had been made. The onus, says the Government, is now clearly on Spain to do the same.
