Today I picked up my " Covid Status Certificate" or covid passport.
It is an A4 paper.

I have a plastic credit card sized record from early February when I had my second jab and the only difference is the new giant piece of paper lists the injection batch numbers

Pathetic

I have carried the plastic card with me since receiving it, no way will I carry the latest incarnation :thumbdown:

All three flights from the UK Friday morning were diverted due to low fog at Gibraltar Airport.

The BA flight went to Malaga, with the Easyjet flights from Manchester and Gatwick diverted to Faro in Portugal. In answer to GBC questions, Easyjet confirmed that the low cloud base meant Gibraltar was outside the airline's landing limits.

For the first time since the Covid 19 pandemic gripped the world, a commercial cruise with passengers has stopped at Gibraltar. The Minister for Tourism said the cruising industry has suffered immensely over the last eighteen months.

Although passengers were only able to join organised tours today, local businesses are hoping the industry is starting to navigate its way out of choppy waters.

Sir Joe Bossano says Spain remains the only obstacle to Gibraltar’s decolonisation.

Addressing the Special Committee of 24 in Dominica, Minister Bossano says Spain has been participating in the process not to bring about Gibraltar’s decolonisation but to prevent it.

The Minister for Economic Development has travelled to the island of Dominica to participate in the UN Decolonisation Seminar.

Lincoln FC have qualified for the group stage of the Europa Conference League. They beat Riga FC 3-1 in the second leg of the playoff fixture at the Victoria Stadium Thursday night...4-2 on aggregate.

Following Liam Walker's first half equaliser from the penalty spot, Lincoln went on to score twice in extra time. A header from Roy Chipolina put the Imps ahead before a breakaway goal scored by Kian Ronan secured the victory with only seconds remaining.

Lincoln have become the first Gibraltarian side to reach the group stage of any European competition

The European border and coastguard agency Frontex, together with the Spanish police, have been running a pilot project at the frontier.

The biometric system would be required in the event of a Brexit ‘no-deal’ for Gibraltar.

According to the newspaper Diario Area, the new system offers double border controls through the use of facial recognition and finger prints as well as travel documentation.

Did we not have a conversation about this before Fred??

Re: Gibraltar 2
 

No

Re: Gibraltar 2
 

Article is poorly written (intern?) and lacks details.
Biometric system has been deployed in GIB since 2015 and in use on/off since then.
What's new now, is that EES trial system has been linked to egates.

Furthermore, it says "Measures to allow free movement at the frontier are in place until October." What a nonsense. Whas it meant to say EES trial will be in place until October?
There is no free movement, everyone is checked crossing border. There is also no mention about stamps, has that been stopped during trial?

I think you do a disservice to interns!

Here in Spain I have had a few interns working for me over the years.

They hard working and capable.

Most spoke 3 languages and one only had two languages and they weren't even language students!

Will there be a day commemorating the date Gib overwhelmingly voted to stay in the EU?
