Gibraltar Today

Communications Bill, Customs System, Volunteers, Tuna Fishing


Listen Later

Parliament got on with business today, debating a number of Bills which are expected to go through later today. The Communications Amendment Bill was presented by Sir Joe Bossano and is divided into three parts. The first gives the Regulatory Authority the power to investigate allegations and take action on protected content infringement- electronic communication which infringes copyright. We spoke to Sir Joe Bossano during the break in parliament sessions.


HM Customs has launched ASYCUDA Version 4.4. It's a new system that is said to modernise the management of the border. Senior Customs Officer Nigel Lia told us more about the new system, how it differs to the previous one, and what challenges they faced in its implementation.


"Where have all the volunteers gone?" That was the question posed recently by GibSams trustee David Revagliatte in an opinion piece in the Gibraltar Chronicle. It's kicked off a wider conversation; we invited GibSams Brenda Cuby and Nicola McCaine of Cancer Relief to the studio to share their thoughts.


And, the blue-fin tuna season in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW) has two periods. The first expired recently, and was the fastest closure ever! Ahead of the second season, we spoke to Sam Marrache of the Tuna Fishing Club and asked if tuna fishing is gaining popularity in Gibraltar, and how regulations are enforced.
