"The people of Gibraltar cannot have the right of veto over matters being discussed by two sovereign states," he told El Pais newspaper.

Gibraltar News 8th December 1997 Government decides on Brussels The Government has taken a decision about the Brussels talks. Following a reply from Britain, ministers are said to have met on Friday. As we went to Press a formal announcement was expected, there were indications that all the Government's demands have not been met and that the Chief Minister will not be attending. This was confirmed by a Government statement at lunch time which we reproduce in full - "The Gibraltar Government regrets that it will not be able to participate in the forthcoming round of talks under the Brussels Agreement on 10 December. It has not been possible to obtain a sufficient degree of satisfaction of our terms for participation. "The Government entirely rejects the view of those who believe that Gibraltar should not participate in talks under the Brussels Agreement on any terms and conditions. The Government wishes to engage Spain in a process of dialogue and we remain committed to participating in such talks if our reasonable terms for participation can be accommodated. "The Gibraltar Government would participate in talks under the Brussels Agreement on the following basis:-

TCM Archives TCM Breaking News Thursday, July 25, 2002 : FRONT IRELAND SPORT WORLD ... ENTERTAINMENT Gibraltar government plans referendum 7:55:16 PM Gibraltar's government is to hold a referendum on British proposals for shared sovereignty with Spain over the colony. The announcement has been made by Chief Minister Peter Caruana. The move is aimed at pre-empting negotiations between Britain and Spain before any agreement on the future of the Rock is reached. It came as Tony Blair confirmed he was ready to share use of Gibraltar's strategically important military base with Spain and other Nato members. In a TV address to the Gibraltarian people, Mr Caruana denounced the shared sovereignty proposal made by Foreign Secretary Jack Straw as "a betrayal and violation of our right to self-determination". He said that a referendum in October of the Rock's 20,000 electorate would make clear that any agreement which diluted their British status was unacceptable. "We cannot risk being seen to have acquiesced in his declaration," warned Mr Caruana. "If we do, the political ground conceded will be consolidated, irretrievably and for all time." There was "absolutely no prospect whatsoever" of Gibraltar's people accepting joint sovereignty, he said.

The Gibraltar Chronicle 200 years old in 2001 is owned by a trust and bound by a Charter requiring political impartiality and independence from control by any sector (religious, commercial, political etc). It survives as an institution despite long drawn negotiations over an historical tax debt to the Government which would make it technically insolvent. This English language newspaper was the only daily produced in Gibraltar until spring 2002 when the weekly Panorama went daily. The result of that move stirred improvements in the Chronicle and caused no sales losses. Other local newspapers include privately owned weeklies - The New People and Vox. These tend to focus more, though not exclusively, on views than news. The main internet (only) media is Iberianews. This is fast and nosey but not always accurate.

GIBRALTAR : ROCK OF INJUSTICE Peter Tatchell says Gibraltar wants the right to self-determination but refuses to respect the human rights of its own people Today, 7 November 2002, the people of Gibraltar go to the polls. They will vote in a referendum on whether sovereignty of The Rock should pass from Britain to joint Anglo-Spanish control. The government of Gibraltar, led by Chief Minister Peter Caruana, is resisting joint sovereignty. Opposing a British and Spanish stitch-up, he insists on Gibraltar's right to self-determination. This is a fair point. There is something sinister and unseemly about the way Jack Straw and his Spanish counterpart have cooked a deal behind closed doors, over the heads of the people of Gibraltar. The vast majority of Gibraltarians see themselves as British and want to remain British. The case for self-determination is, however, somewhat undermined by the unwillingness of the Gibraltar government to support the right to self-determination of other subjugated nations, most notably nearby Western Sahara. Originally colonised by Gibraltar's sworn enemy, Spain, it was abandoned by the Spanish in 1976. This allowed a Moroccan take over against the wishes of the Western Sahrawis. Now Britain is contemplating something similar - a partial hand over of The Rock to Spain without the inhabitant's consent. Gibraltarians are, understandably, up in arms.

The need for a solution which could be implemented with the minimum of disruption to their day-to-day activities and suitable for users with vastly differing levels of IT skills was paramount to Gibraltar's busy HR department. Tina Mosquera, Personnel Manager, commented 'We chose Propath Sense because we were looking for a cost effective solution which provided all of the features we needed and Propath Sense compares extremely favourably to more expensive systems which we found to be virtually identical in functionality.

The U.K. government is contesting the move, believing that the long-standing position, that Gibraltar does not have to implement such EC legislation, is correct.

Talking about Gibraltar . . . The Only real problem with Life on the Rock is relations with Spain The Good news is that the Shooting has stopped But the outdated Territorial claim and the tirade of Propaganda and harassment goes on. This has the single aim of the recovery of the territory. At no time does Spain consider the Gibraltarians have the right to determine their future. The Rock of Gibraltar, located at the entrance of the Mediterranean has been British since 1704. Its existance remains an endless source of annoyance to the Spanish who persist with their outdated territorial claim despite both Gibraltar and Spain being in the EU. In 1713 The Spanish signed the Treaty of Utrecht , under which they renounced all claim to the territory forever. Shortly after they laid siege to Gibraltar to try steal it back by force. British innovation in the science of warfare coupled with good terrain, and a certain amount of luck stopped them. The Royal Engineers were founded on the rock in 1772, and many developments in cannon, like firing heated shot, were used with effect. Colonel Shrapnel made his contribution, and innovations like star shells, which illuminated the enemy by night allowed British gunners to shoot at the Spaniards creeping around in the dark. After a while they gave up and a period of peaceful co-existance and free movement across the border prevailed, even during WW2, until the sixties.

The Liberal Party and Decolonisation A Decolonised British Gibraltar Self-governing city state within European Union. The Queen remains as Queen of Gibraltar. Dominion status (eg. similar to Canada). The Gibraltarians remain British. The people of Gibraltar, masters in their own homeland. The Liberal Party reiterates its 12-point plan on a new international status for Gibraltar together with a wide-ranging programme of internal reform flowing from it. In exercise of our right to self-determination, the future of Gibraltar must be decided by the people of Gibraltar. This policy statement is essentially about the right of our people to be masters in our own homeland and about Gibraltar's special and historic relationship with the British Crown, Government and People. It is a realistic approach that takes account of Gibraltarian aspirations, Britain's international obligations and our place in Europe. INTERNATIONAL STATUS The City-State of Gibraltar: Gibraltar to be a constitutional monarchy within the parameters of the European Community, a city-state, with the Queen as Queen of Gibraltar. INTERNAL REFORM The division of power representing the offices of the elected Gibraltar Government and the UK presence, including the respective roles and responsibilities, to be clearly defined as follows:

The Liberal Party and The Amsterdam Treaty THE AMSTERDAM TREATY The leader of the Liberal Party, Dr Joseph Garcia, argues that the dangers posed to Gibraltar by the new European Treaty could have been avoided. The Foreign Office and the Gibraltar government have much to answer for. The Intergovenmental Conference that first met in Italy over a year ago was charged with shaping the future of Europe. The aim was the formulation of a 'Maastricht mark 2', a new European Treaty for the new millenium. At the time, the Gibraltar Liberals argued that it was essential to our interests that a representative from Gibraltar be present at these discussions from the very start. Past experience has shown how important it is that Gibraltar participates in these discussions at a European level. Sadly, this did not happen, and in the new Treaty of Amsterdam, Gibraltar pays the price. SCHENGEN AGREEMENT It was in the national interest of Gibraltar to belong to any agreement which would remove the border delays we continue to experience. The Schengen accords were initially an inter-governmental agreement, so Gibraltar could not participate without Britain. The incorporation of Schengen into the Amsterdam Treaty meant that its legal staus changed, and as such Gibraltar could be included even if Britain stayed out. All that the United Kingdom had to do was to include its land frontiers on the Continent within the new agreement. The Chief Minister of Gibraltar was apparently told at the UK Foreign Office on 7 June that our inclusion within Schengen separately from the UK was technically possible. The people of Gibraltar were not told at the time.The political parties were not called in for a briefing. This is politically unforgiveable. Gibraltar could have been mobilised together to seek our inclusion in Schengen, instead we have been left out.

Over the last six years £153 million has been provided in aid to the less prosperous Dependent Territories ranging from £39 a head of population a year in the British Virgin Islands to nearly £3,700 a head for the Pitcairn Islands with its resident population of only 55. The National Audit Office’s findings in the key potential risk areas of governance, law and order, and financial issues include: Governance In 1993 the Department set an objective to introduce jointly agreed Country Policy Plans in the Caribbean Territories. Three have so far been agreed and a further plan agreed with St Helena. Strategic policy plans need to be developed further to enable priorities and targets to be identified and monitored more closely. The technical aid provided has brought about significant improvements to key risk activities such as police, customs, finance and public administration. Other aspects, such as offshore finance, have benefited from much needed expertise in technical areas not available locally. More needs to be done to assess the impact.
