answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2015 answer text <p>A Spanish fishing vessel was present in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW) on 26 December 2014. However, Spanish fishing vessels do not constitute State vessels. Accordingly, our assessment is that this incident did not give rise to any violation of British sovereignty. In accordance with the Constitutional division of responsibilities between the British Government and Her Majesty's Government of Gibraltar, the enforcement of laws relating to the activity of commercial and recreational vessels in BGTW is a matter for the authorities in Gibraltar.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 19/01/2015 15:43:03 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2015 answer text <p>Gibraltar continues to be included in the scope of existing Single European Sky II (SESII) legislation, as it should be under the Treaties of the European Union.　 At the Transport Council on 5 December, the Government took a very firm position making it clear to the European Commission and Italian Presidency that Spain’s attempts to exclude Gibraltar airport from the proposed Single European Sky Two+ proposals were unacceptable to the UK and the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport, Robert Goodwill walked out of Council to protest this approach.　 The Government will continue to oppose Spain’s attempts to exclude Gibraltar airport from future aviation legislation.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 15/01/2015 12:20:40 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
