  • 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.

  • The Hon P R Caruana, Chief Minister
    Mr Chairman, distinguished Members of the Committee, my name is Keith Azopardi, and I am Deputy Chief Minister of Gibraltar. I deliver, this speech on behalf of the Chief Minister, Peter Caruana, who is unable to fly due to illness. There have been many developments during the last twelve months relating to Gibraltar about which I must inform you. First, Mr Chairman, may I congratulate you and the Committee for an apparently successful Regional Seminar in relation to the Caribbean Territories in Anguilla the week before last. I did not, on this occasion, attend because the format was modified to focus on the Caribbean territories. On the occasion of previous seminars, although held regionally, the agenda and structure has been global throughout the seminar, thus allowing representatives from territories in other regions a full participation. I hope that future seminars will revert to the previous format, as otherwise territories such as Gibraltar, that are neither in the Caribbean, nor in the Pacific, will have no seminar forum in which they can have that degree of participation as will allow meaningful focus on their case. In our absence, brother Chief Ministers and other representatives of other UK non-self governing territories spontaneously took it upon themselves to defend with vigour the right of Gibraltarians to self-determination. I wish to record here the profound gratitude of the people and Government of Gibraltar to them for having done so. It must stir the sentiments of distinguished Members of the Special Committee to witness the spirit of brotherhood and solidarity between colonial peoples from such physically distant countries.

Tres años desde que empezamos a trabajar para materializar los cambios necesarios en nuestra nación. Tres años en los que ustedes han llegado a confiar en nosotros. Porque estamos cumpliendo todas y cada una de las promesas que les hicimos. Y con la renovación del gabinete de hoy, me aseguro de que cumpliremos todas estas promesas antes del final de la legislatura. Hagamos un repaso de las áreas más importantes en las que hemos cumplido con nuestro manifiesto electoral: Recuerden el antiguo aparcamiento de USOC. Ahora es el magnífico Parque de la Commonwealth, destinado al esparcimiento de toda la comunidad: se ha convertido exactamente en lo que les prometimos. Estamos construyendo 890 viviendas repartidos en dos complejos residenciales en régimen de copropiedad en Eastern Beach y Mons Calpe Mews, en el emplazamiento que antes ocupaba el aparcamiento para autocares. Pronto anunciaremos otros dos nuevos complejos, con capacidad para aproximadamente otras 1.500 familias. Preparamos una marina con 700 puestos de atraque para pequeñas embarcaciones, que estará lista el año que viene. Y para nuestros mayores, estamos construyendo las residencias Charles Bruzon House & Sea Master Lodge para una vida digna en el centro de la ciudad.
