Apr 29 - Picardo Congratulates RGP Commissioner on EAASP Presidency
Chief Minister Fabian Picardo has sent his congratulations to Commissioner Eddie Yome on being elected President of the European Association of Airport and Seaport Police. The election was held during the Association’s two-day conference held last week at the Caleta Hotel.
Commissioner Yome has been a member of the Association for five years and has recently been a Vice-President on Aviation matters. He now takes on the presidency for a three-year term and he will preside over his first conference in Dubrovnik next year. In his new role he will automatically be a member of the International Association of Airports and Seaports Police and he will report personally to various EU organisations when submitting research and bids for future projects.
‘I am delighted that the RGP’s Commissioner has been elected to such an influential position and, on a personal level, I wish him well in his presidency,’ said the Chief Minister. ‘The election of Commissioner Yome reflects wonderfully well on him as a professional police officer, on the RGP as an organisation and on Gibraltar’s growing role in the field of international security co-operation.’
