Europe minister calls on Spain to operate reasonable regime at frontier
Minister for Europe David Lidington says he is impressed by the ‘significant steps’ taken by the Gibraltar government to tackle tobacco smuggling. Having said that he says that smuggling does not justify the ‘disproportionate regime’ at the Spanish border, and calls on Spain to operate a reasonable regime and work in partnership wih Gibraltar on such matters. This is Mr Lidington’s statement in full: “I am impressed by the significant steps taken by Gibraltar to tackle tobacco smuggling. A commitment to cut the number of cigarettes allowed at the border by 90% will be just one of a package of tough measures taken and I am confident that we will see a significant impact on levels of smuggling as a result.
