Just as there are reports of progress in the talks between the Gibraltar authorities and the Spanish fisherman from Algeciras and La Linea, comes the news that Gibraltar Police have harassed two Spanish boats near the Rock. The fishermen alerted the Guardia Civil when they saw the Gibraltar launch, and say the situation is ‘unbearable’ and they demand a solution. The fishermen say if it continues in this way, they will call their boats to fish off the rock. The members of the technical commission which is trying to negotiate a settlement, have been in contact with the Spanish authorities to explain what has happened and to ask for a solution to the conflict. The Spanish fishermen’s representative, Pedro Maza, has claimed the Gibraltar Government is using delaying techniques.
