17/12/12 Item 7 515/24 | 3. Financial Services Ombudsman The Panel recalled that, prior to Christmas, it had been sent an update by the Economic Development Department in response to its request for confirmation that the timetable previously provided for the remainder of the drafting process was envisaged to progress as outlined. This included the Panel receiving a publishable version of the draft legislation before the end of the year. The update indicated that this would not now be sent for a number of reasons, including issues around the involvement of Guernsey in a Channel Islands scheme, advice regarding Human Rights implications and continued consideration of the scope of the scheme. The Panel noted that it had indeed not received a publishable version of the draft legislation, and that it could not therefore begin its public Review work as planned. It agreed to ask the Department to confirm the position, in order to determine what steps it would take next to resolve the ongoing delays to the Review caused by the drafting process. | TO |

14/11/12 Item 5 515/23 | 5. Aircraft Registry The Chairman had informed the Panel by email about a seminar organised by the Economic Development Department for relevant finance industry stakeholders on developments in the proposed Channel Islands Aircraft Registry, scheduled for 18th January. The Panel agreed that given its report on this matter and interest in following up its recommendations, it would be beneficial to attend the seminar if appropriate to do so, and asked for the necessary arrangements to be made subject to confirmation from the Department that it had no objection to its attendance. | TO |
515/1(29) | 6. Jersey Finance The Panel agreed that due to other commitments it would not be possible for it to attend a proposed meeting with Jersey Finance on either 24th or 25th January.
