The Minister for Business, Gemma Arias-Vasquez, chaired the third meeting of the Business Transition Advisory Group following the conclusion of negotiations for the EU–UK Treaty in respect of Gibraltar on Thursday. The meeting considered the position now that negotiations have concluded, with a focus on the transitional arrangements that will apply once the Treaty comes into force. The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, briefly joined the meeting to explain the significance of the agreement and the context leading to its conclusion. The Business Transition Advisory Group will meet again once the Treaty text has been published, when members will receive a more detailed briefing on its provisions. The Gibraltar Government also expects to hold briefings for the wider business community once the Treaty is published in full, to ensure businesses are informed and prepared for implementation.
