NGO’s from Spain and Gibraltar – GONHS, ESG, AGADEN, Verdemar and GREENPEACE from Madrid -have held various meetings in recent months to discuss the best way of seeing positive results emanate from the Tripartite Process which, in an unprecedented move, publicly committed to tackling Bay environmental issues which are of serious concern to citizens!! Two major dossiers have already been submitted to the Forum by the NGO’s identifying critical areas of concern, with impacts and proposed solutions. A third dossier is currently being drawn up in response to ministerial statements on specific commitments. The NGO’s now wish to have direct participation in the process believing it will help achieve tangible progress as the groups have vast resources to call upon in terms of information researched and gathered over several years on many of the issues concerned.
