The Official Journal of the International Association of Shiprepair Agents Volume 16 - Issue 3 - August / September 2018 Page 2 – www.shipandoffshorerepair.com SORJ (Ship and Offshore Repair Journal) Welcome to the August/September edition of SORJ (Ship and Offshore Repair Journal). The recent SMM event in Hamburg, which is far too large, highlighted to problems to be experienced with the proposed 2020 sulphur cap. Engine manufacturers and fuel suppliers are in a quandary, both sides of the industry saying that there will not be sufficient supplies available. Meanwhile, the marine equipment industry is pushing its ‘scrubber’ solution along with the many companies pushing LNG as a legitimate alternative. The problem of an insufficient infrastructure for the supply of LNG is another problem facing the industry. Meanwhile, the use of LPG as a marine fuel may be more practical solution (certainly on a infrastructure question).

    Gibraltar's Constitutional Future

    RESEARCH PAPER 02/37 Gibraltar’s Constitutional 22 MAY 2002 Future “Our aims remain to agree proposals covering all outstanding issues, including those of co-operation and sovereignty. The guiding principle of those proposals is to build a secure, stable and prosperous future for Gibraltar and a modern sustainable status consistent with British and Spanish membership of the European Union and NATO. The proposals will rest on four important pillars: safeguarding Gibraltar's way of life; measures of practical co-operation underpinned by economic assistance to secure normalisation of relations with Spain and the EU; extended self-government; and sovereignty”. Peter Hain, HC Deb, 31 January 2002, c.137WH. In July 2001 the British and Spanish Governments embarked on a new round of negotiations under the auspices of the Brussels Process to resolve the sovereignty dispute over Gibraltar. They aim to reach agreement on all unresolved issues by the summer of 2002. The results will be put to a referendum in Gibraltar. The Government of Gibraltar has objected to the process and has rejected any arrangement involving shared sovereignty between Britain and Spain. Gibraltar is pressing for the right of self-determination with regard to its constitutional future. The Brussels Process covers a wide range of topics for discussion. This paper looks primarily at the sovereignty debate. It also considers how the Gibraltar issue has been dealt with at the United Nations.

INTRODUCTION 3. Mr Speaker, this is my sixth budget address as Chief Minister. 4. It is in fact my second budget address since our re-election to Government in November 2015 with a huge vote of confidence from our people, and I now have the honour to present the Government’s revenue and expenditure estimates for the financial year ending 31 st March 2018. 5. During the course of this address, I will also report to the House on the Government’s revenue and expenditure out-turn for the financial year ended 31 st March 2017, which was the fifth full year of a Socialist Liberal Administration since we took office on a warm autumn day in December 2011. 6. Mr Speaker, as has been traditional now for almost thirty years since the first GSLP Chief Minister delivered the first GSLP Budget in 1988, my address will of course be NOT JUST my report to the House on the Public Finances of our nation and the state of the economy generally, but also a Parliamentary ‘State of the Nation’ review of the economic and political future facing Gibraltar. 7. There could be no better way, Mr Speaker for the GSLP to celebrate its fortieth anniversary than with the honour of a second GSLP Chief Minister delivering a Socialist Budget for Gibraltar.
