	Peter Caruana negotiates Gib tax reforms in Brussels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Peter Caruana, was in Brussels on Monday to negotiate matters related to the Rock’s tax regime, which was rejected last spring by the European Commission, on the grounds that is is incompatible with the EU’s single market.
		From Brussels Caruana was then due to travel to London, where he was to meet with British Government representatives in order to defend his proposal for constitutional reform, with which he intends to give Gibraltar a greater level of self-government, including a hint at self-determination.
		As far as the constitutional reform that Peter Caruana wants to negotiate with London is concerned, sources from the Foreign Office pointed out that it is a negotiation that is totally independent of the contacts between the British and Spanish Governments regarding the Rock’s future.

		But Mr Caruana complained that although Britain had said the agreement would not be implemented unless Gibraltarians accepted it in a referendum, a joint declaration that accepted co-sovereignty still amounted to a sell-out.
		Mr Caruana said he had written to Mr Straw demanding guarantees that, if the agreement was rejected by Gibraltarians it would not become British policy.
		Without those guarantees, Mr Caruana said, he would refuse to join the negotiations - even though Spain last week finally accepted that he could form part of the British delegation on the basis of "two flags, three voices".

		British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has announced that the British Foreign Office would not recognize a referendum proposed by the Rock of Gibraltar's chief minister Peter Caruana over current negotiations between Spain and the UK about joint governance of the colony.
		Caruana counters that the 27,000 people who live on Gibraltar are vehemently opposed to any agreement involving joint-governance with Spain and are embittered that a referendum was not held prior to the British government entering into talks with Spain.
		The chief minister said that the negotiations were a "betrayal" of their democratic rights and that "any attempt to deny (the referendum) will lack democratic and political credibility." The vote cannot be considered a formal referendum under the current treaty governing the colony.
