Government meets with President of the Chamber of Commerce on Treaty Implementation Matters

HM Government of Gibraltar today met with the President of the Chamber of Commerce, John Isola, to discuss a range of matters arising from the implementation of the UK-EU Treaty. The meeting, which followed an internal Government Treaty implementation meeting, was attended by the Attorney General, the Chief Secretary, the Director of Gibraltar House Brussels, the Collector of Customs and the CEO of Business.

The discussion formed part of the Government's ongoing engagement with Gibraltar's business community and representative organisations to ensure that operational issues arising from implementation continue to be identified and addressed collaboratively.

A number of constructive matters affecting businesses were discussed. Many of the issues raised are already being addressed by HM Customs and the relevant Government departments, while others have already been resolved. The Government and HM Customs will continue to work closely with businesses to ensure that practical solutions are implemented wherever possible.

Among the matters discussed was the importance of ensuring that information on operational developments and resolved issues reaches as wide a business audience as possible. The Government acknowledged the significant work being undertaken by HM Customs and agreed to explore additional channels through which updates can be shared with the wider business community, recognising that many businesses may benefit from information even where they have not raised issues directly.

The meeting also considered longer-term traffic management matters, some of which fall outside Gibraltar's direct control. The Government will continue to pursue these through the appropriate bilateral channels as implementation work progresses.

HM Government remains committed to engaging with all representative business organisations and individual businesses on Treaty implementation matters. Today's meeting forms part of that wider programme of engagement, which will continue as operational arrangements develop.

The Government thanks the President of the Chamber of Commerce for the constructive discussion and looks forward to continuing its engagement with all stakeholders in support of Gibraltar's business community.
