Re: Gibraltar 2
It is not complicated, if Gibraltar really was the honest and ethical place Fred with your posts from the ministry suggests it would not award itself a quota for an endagered species.
Any reasonable petson would expect Gibraltar to set the highest standards but money is obviously more important than keeping the higher ground.
Were the waters around Gibraltar British such a quota would be illegal.

You constantly confuse Britain and British with the UK. I don't know if this is plain ignorance or mischievous disingenuity. Funnily enough Spain and the Spanish often make the same mistake which means that they fear that if they recognise BGTW then the UK will automatically enjoy the same territorial rights, which is not the case but does cause animosity.

Re: Gibraltar 2
Incorrect on two points. BGTW is a separate entity and therefore can apply for a quota in its own right: the UK has not applied and does not have a quota for Blue-fin, if the UK could show good cause and a previous history then it could apply for a quota but this quota would not apply in BGTW. There is no link between the two.

You may recall in the early days our Gibraltar apologists tried to claim that there was no fishing industry in Gibraltar a blatant lie as those involved in the business have already met the quota and now got themselves an even bigger one.
Thank you for clarifying that the waters in question are not British, hopefully we will stop wasting time and money playing policeman and leave it up to the protagonists who should know better.

Govt pre-empts Spain’s tax attack on Rock
by Brian Reyes
The EU’s special committee on tax was reminded this week of Gibraltar’s solid record of compliance with international transparency rules, pre-empting a Spanish minister who sought to tar the Rock as ‘an opaque, permanent headache’
None of this made any difference to Sr de Guindos, who repeated the traditional Spanish line.

Re: Gibraltar 2
Spain would be more likely to respond to robustness from the UK than reasonableness. This is the view of the outgoing Governor, Sir James Dutton who spoke at a farewell reception hosted by the Gibraltar Government. Sir James observed that, although the aggressive sovereignty claim from Spain hadn’t changed in 35 years, Gibraltar had developed from an MoD Based economy to a high-tech city state in that time

Re: Gibraltar 2
Can Gibraltar show any good cause and previous history to justify awarding itself a quota ?
