At the meeting it would be "opportune" to discuss how we might further support the affairs and interests of those Romanians living in Jersey.<br />There is currently no Romanian Consul in Jersey.<br /><br />The appointment of a Consul is a matter "for each national government to decide." It is likely that the appointing of an honorary Consul for Romania accredited to Jersey, or possibly the Channel Islands, will be discussed (by Sen Bailhache).<br />There is no information published in Romanian by States departments.<br />This is kept under review by the Communications Unit.<br />The matter of Driving licences has been discussed at the Department for Transport in London. Officials have been engaged with the Romanian Embassy on the possible reciprocal exchange of Jersey and Romanian licences. The matter is currently under consideration by the Romanian authorities who are interested in reaching agreement.Tom Gruchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384387998228996741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055484451266400578.post-77052511697816476462013-10-07T12:11:34.427-07:002013-10-07T12:11:34.427-07:00And here is a little more discrimination to add to...And here is a little more discrimination to add to the plight of Romanians, and everyone else come to that!!!<br /><br />The Justice Select Committee, <a href="http://therightofreply.blogspot.com/2013/10/justice-select-committee-jersey.html" rel="nofollow">MY TESTIMONY</a>Big Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15228210750484725153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055484451266400578.post-43597665193300534332013-10-05T12:14:22.556-07:002013-10-05T12:14:22.556-07:00And a "there's a boat in the morning"...And a <i>"there's a boat in the morning"</i> comment will be along in 10.... 9.... 8.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055484451266400578.post-62840854021540290502013-10-02T14:59:32.521-07:002013-10-02T14:59:32.521-07:00Vote for?
