NO AGREEMENT ON FLIGHTS YET INSISTS CLLR. EDWARDS
By J. Brock (FINN)
Councillor Roger Edwards, in a statement to the Falklands Press on Friday afternoon said there has been no agreement yet on flights between Argentina and the Falkland Islands.
The frenzy began when there was speculation on the BBC World Service and the local British press about an agreement. According to Cllr. Edwards, one particular financial newspaper today has given quite detailed proposals (agreements they call them) put forward in the talks earlier this week between Mr. Rammell and the officials in Buenos Aires he added that there is shortly to be more speculation in the Argentine press.
“The so called agreement reflects a proposal which inferred from this week’s meeting in Buenos Aires between Mr. Rammell and Argentine Officials, which Mr. Rammell agreed to consider. The British Government has made it clear throughout that any new arrangements on flights will require the agreement of Islanders. Councillors considered the proposal. Their views have been relayed to the British Government by the Governor. And, the Councillors will be discussing further details with Mr. Rammell by telephone on Monday.”
