An Investment in Gibraltar's Presence in the EU

Last week Chief Minister Fabian Picardo, in the company of his Deputy Dr Joseph Garcia and newly-appointed Attorney General Michael Llamas, inaugurated the new Gibraltar office in Brussels; welcoming the large assembly of EU officials and press representatives which included more than 85 diplomats, ambassadors and MEPs.

During his address at the official opening ceremony, Mr Picardo declared that the Government's 1.3 million Euro investment in this new property not only represented "a great investment in bricks and mortar terms alone", but also reflected how Gibraltar is "coming of age and is open to doing business with the European Union."
