The implementation of anti-corruption legislation in Gibraltar is the constitutional competence of HM Government of Gibraltar. The UK Government has therefore made no assessment of the usefulness of co-operation involving Gibraltar undertaken as a result of Article 9(1) or Article 9(2) of the Convention on the fight against corruption involving officials of the European Communities or officials of member states of the European Union. Many of the matters covered have now been superseded by other measures. It will be for HM Government of Gibraltar in consultation with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to decide whether to continue international cooperation unchanged. The UK Government does not hold data relating specifically to co- operation of the Gibraltarian authorities with the authorities of one or more other EU member states owing to the provisions of Articles 9(1) and (2) of the Convention. The maintenance of such data is a matter for the Government of Gibraltar. The implementation of the requirements of the Convention is also a matter for the Government of Gibraltar. On this basis, I have had no conversations with the Government of Gibraltar concerning the retention or otherwise of measures implementing the Convention if Gibraltar ceases to be bound pursuant to Article 10 of the Protocol on Transitional Provisions annexed to the EU treaties.
