Re: Gibraltar 2
For those of you who do not like my style of posting, SIMPLE do not read it the same as I mainly ignore the posters I do not like.
However when I post they go onto the Today's Posts thread and are available and read worldwide
However recently I have had major computer problems forcing for the first time in almost 30 years to seek help from a computer shop.
Also in the last few days Gibraltar has had some good coverage in the worlds media.

Re: Gibraltar 2
Yesterday a tax treaty was signed between Gibraltar and Spain, the first international treaty between the two since 1713.
It also recognises for the first time by Spain the existence of Gibraltarians and their right to levy taxes as well as recognising Gibraltar's corporate taxes.
The full wording of the treaty should be available later this month.
An unexpected consequence of Brexit.

Re: Gibraltar 2
The substance of the treaty is in El Pais in English today and it emphasises that the negotiation was between HMG and Spain and does not mention Gibraltar as a party to the agreement. Still seems to depend on the Brexshit outcome though.

Re: Gibraltar 2
The treaty is one between Spain and Gibraltar allowing the exchange of tax information between the two countries.
It was signed by David Lidington on Gibraltar's behalf because Spain still has dificulties in accepting Gibraltar as a country in it's own right and UK is still has constitutional responsibility for Gibraltar's inclusion in international treaties.
In situation like this the UK represents Gibraltar and takes it's instructions from Gibraltar
This treaty has been on our Chief Minister's desk for many years awaiting Spains signature.
Gibraltar has been signing Tax Information Agreements for many years with other countries.

Petr Jezek says the European Commission's decision to accept the Gibraltar footnote has led him to lose faith in its impartiality in inter-institutional negotiations.

Re: Gibraltar 2
Spain should not be a contender for a £1 billion Royal Navy ship deal, due to issues with Gibraltar.
According to reports in the British press, Russ Murdoch of the Confederation of Ship Building and Engineering Unions highlighted repeated Spanish incursions into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters, as a reason why members have been asking the union whether the contract could seriously be awarded to a Spanish firm.
The unions are campaigning for a British yard to be awarded the contract

Re: Gibraltar 2
The unions always want contracts to be awarded to British companies irrespective of whether it is a good deal or not. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the UK are the best builders.
To add the Gibraltar situation into the equation is ridiculous as Gibraltar has nothing to do with it.

An improvement
A number of RGP officers have been present in searches conducted by Guardia Civil officers since early yesterday morning in a number of localities within the neighbouring Campo de Gibraltar region.
