WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY A.E. JEUNE OF ST. BRELADE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 2011
Question
Following the comment in R.107/2011 (Ministerial visit to Brussels: June 2011) that "We are discussing with our Guernsey counterparts how Members in both Islands can be kept informed of the work being undertaken by the Channel Islands Brussels Office", would the Chief Minister update members on the progress of this and state whether this is also being considered for other overseas offices such as those in London and Hong Kong?
Answer
After discussion with our Guernsey counterparts it has been agreed that the Channel Islands Brussels Office (CIBO) will produce six monthly written updates. These reports will be circulated to all States Members and the first such report will be produced in January 2012. In addition, the CIBO Director and Deputy Director would be happy to provide additional oral briefings to interested States members. Arrangements will be made for the next briefing to take place during one of planned visits to Jersey by the Director and/or Deputy Director in the first quarter of 2012.
With regards to the overseas offices in London and Hong Kong, I presume that Deputy Jeune refers to the Jersey Finance offices in those locations. Unlike CIBO these offices do not involve cooperation with Guernsey; therefore similar discussions have not taken place.
