New Tariffs Imposed in the Strait of Gibraltar for 2023
Following the meeting of the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency, composed of all the members of the Parliament of the Autonomous City of Gibraltar, it was agreed by an absolute majority to review the tariffs and access to the Strait. This review will be in force for the whole year, and may be modified at the discretion of the GSSA itself.
The Gibraltar Strait Security Agency would like to remind that it is an independent and neutral agency under the direction of the Government of the Autonomous City of Gibraltar, and under the control of the Gibraltar Parliament. The GSSA is not dependent on or influenced by bodies of greater or equal power to that of the Gibraltar Parliament and the Government of Gibraltar, thus maintaining the autonomy guaranteed through the Home Rule Charter for the City of Gibraltar, which dates back to 1995. Its actions and decisions are taken by the Government of Gibraltar and approved or rejected by Parliament, which is the guarantor of the neutrality and controller of the proper functioning of this agency, which is based on the pillars of independence, honesty, transparency and security.
Below are the new tariffs that will apply to each country's cargo vessels according to the following criteria:
"I. Cargo vessels' final destination is not the Kingdom of Spain.
II. Cargo vessels do a stopover in the Kingdom of Spain, then resume their route heading east or west of the Strait area.
III. Cargo vessels go through the Strait of Gibraltar, not stopping at the Kingdom of Spain"Tariffs:
Group 0: Inquista, Icholasen, Vayinaod, Fremet, Hellas, Spain, Angleter, Duxburian Union, North Diessen, Inimicus and Mishar.
Group 1: Leagio, California, Elthize, Gadalland & Aspern and Nofoaga.
Group 2: Lusitania & Vettonia, Ineland, Pravoslaviya, Brickston, United Duchies, Strathae, Blue Croatia, Istkalen, Czech Slavia, Federal Republic of Icholasen, Bulgaria and Oregon.
Group 3: Reitzmag, Yosai, United Kingdom and Huriyah.
Group 4: Union of Nicoleizian Soviet Republics, Neo Venetia and Svarna Surya.
Access criteria is as follows:
I. Military assets from the members of the Treaty of Telum will be allowed to the Strait of Gibraltar, and will have full access to it.
II. The Apostolic Kingdom of Angleter, the Archrepublic of Vayinaod, the Republic of Fremet, the Kingdom of Hellas, the Mishar Republic and the United Dominions of Icholasen are granted a licence to go through the Strait of Gibraltar.
III. No other European nation’s military assets shall be allowed to enter the Gibraltar Strait.D. Albert Issola

On the Rotatory Direction of the ASMSA
Rebeca Torró Soler, first woman to ever occupy the Direction of the Adventuranza Sea Maritime Security AgencyThe Adventuranza Sea Maritime Security Agency wishes to thank D. Francisco Martín Gallego, from Cantabria, for his hard job and commitment while directing the agency for two years, after last year's rotation could not take place. Martín Gallego's role has been crucial in order to maintain peace in the area, and to find a new status for the region that would appeal both the Kingdom of Spain and its neighbours. The ASMSA would like to remember that, since April 2022, the Kingdom of Spain does not recognise Adventuranza as a Strait but rather as a sea, and that it has dropped any claim on the other half.
Due to the agreement between Ceuta, the Canary Islands, Escocia, Cantabria and the Comunitat Valenciana, the head of the ASMSA changes every year, rotating in a circle from west to east. The new Adventuranza Sea Maritime Security Agency is Doña Rebeca Torró Soler, Councillor for Territorial Policy, Public Works and Mobility in the Comunitat Valenciana.
The Adventuranza Sea Maritime Security Agency has also discussed the possible adhesion of Puerto Rico to the agency. However, the Government of Puerto Rico has declined the invite, therefore the agency members have rejected this possibility.

President Aguilar New Year Eve Address
Good afternoon my dear compatriots,
As has been my custom since I took office as Prime Minister, I am addressing you on yet another New Year's Eve to assess from a personal point of view what the year we are leaving behind today has meant for Spain. Before entering into any assessment, I would like to thank you once again for listening to this speech and for allowing me to enter your homes via television. I do not want to begin without first sending warm greetings to all Spaniards abroad, as well as to the victims of the new war in Europe, which has taken place in Svarna Surya.
This year I would first like to salute the Spanish soldiers deployed in the Spanish military bases abroad, specifically in Aether, Gadalland, Nofoaga, Ineland, Mishar, Montenbourg, the United Kingdom, Leagio and Inimicus; as well as those who are currently patrolling the seas and oceans of our world. Their efforts and commitment to Spain should not be forgotten in a year in which their role has been key to strengthening Spain's international image. In June, the military sphere became a major presence in our lives as our capital, Madrid, hosted the first-ever summit of the Treaty of Telum. During this summit, the members of the alliance had the historic opportunity to lay the foundations of the new treaty, of our strategic concept and to define the roadmap for the years to come. Madrid and its citizens dressed up to welcome four high-profile foreign leaders, and we gave an image to the world that very few expected. Spain is an open country, a friend to its friends, that will always ensure security and peace, not only for its citizens, but also for those countries that trust us.
Also during 2022, Spain has strengthened its presence abroad: Jean-Claude Juncker was elected this summer as Premier Commissioner of the European Union, and Luis de Guindos was elected as President of the European Central Bank, an institution of great prestige and importance at the head of which he will do a great job. I have also had the opportunity to welcome many foreign leaders this year, and to travel to new countries around the Union: Lusitania and Vettonia, Leagio, Ineland, Elthize, Aether, Hellas, California or the United Kingdom, among many others. Our kingdom has also had some run-ins with other countries during these 12 months, but these have been resolved swiftly and effectively. Although we no longer believe that Adventuranza is a strait, but a sea, I would like to insist that Spain will never be cowed by anyone, and that a concession does not mean that we will allow Spain to be limited by countries that use weapons instead of words as a solution to the hijacking of ships, or that make demands to Europolis about who they can or cannot be at the same negotiating table with. Our country and I myself know who we can trust, who we can call allies, who we can call friends, who we can call partners, and who we can only call by name. I take this opportunity to send warm and affectionate greetings to our Telum Treaty allies, as well as to Spain's friends, who know who they are.
At the national level, Spain has voted this year that we are now seeing leave, once again giving me its confidence to occupy the post of President of the Government. This position, which I have held since 2016, is demanding and hard to assume, but I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks, as I did in July, for the support of many Spaniards who trusted me to continue leading this country from the executive branch. Spain has proven to be a democratic country, in which on the very night of election day we are able to obtain the definitive results of our elections, eliminating uncertainty and suspicions of rigging. Democracy in Spain is not at risk, nor is it called into question by anyone: we are a fully democratic country with a particular legal system, which does not oppress but includes all the historical nationalities, regions and other regional bodies that make it up. Our cultural, linguistic and even ethnic diversity is what makes our country unique, and respecting it, as well as working to advance the inclusion of these regions in the autonomous state, must be priorities to be taken into account during 2023.
Moreover, we should congratulate ourselves for the great work we have done this year, not only on a personal level, but on a collective level: Spain has become this year the fifth largest economy in Europe, and the third richest country per capita, with a GDP growth of more than 4 billion euros. This growth, which is not only due to the good work of the technicians of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, as well as Luis de Guindos and Pascal Donohoe, is also due to the economic activity in which you, the Spaniards, play a great role. Our GDP now stands at almost 7.2 billion euros, and the target for this day in a year's time is to reach 9 billion, in the most conservative scenario, and 10 billion in the most optimistic one. But not only the economy has been a factor to take into account this year: so has our development of the Spanish Space Agency, which will inaugurate a second spaceport in Gadalland in January next year, which will join the one in Nofoaga and the one we already have on national territory; or the social and technological advances that have taken place this year. We will continue working to move forward and make 2023 a year that very few will forget.
I conclude by wishing you a happy entry into 2023 and that the year that will begin this midnight after eating 12 grapes and listening to the clock at the Puerta del Sol will be a year full of happiness and good times with your family and friends; as well as a great year for our country. Best wishes to all of you, Feliz Año 2023, Happy New Year 2023.

On the War Threats of the United Kingdom
The Kingdom of Spain condemns the war threats of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on a recent statement issued by their Government, in which it was stated that "reliberating Gibraltar" was over the table. The Spanish Government would like to remind that Gibraltar has never been subjugated by any country and that is has always been under Spanish sovereignty, and that the British Empire era the United Kingdom once went through has been over for years. The Spanish Government has called the British Ambassador for inquiries, in order to receive a formal apology and obtain the needed explanations after these unberable threats that put in risk the Mediterrean Sea stability and peace in the European Union.

Statement - On the United Kingdom
The Kingdom of Spain rejects and condemns the sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom Government, without prior approval of said nation's Parliament, in which Spanish assets are both banned and frozen, alongside with a operation ban for Spanish companies in the United Kingdom. These sanctions, however, do not come as a surprise for the Spanish Government, that has seen how its British Counterparts and the British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, have taken the decision to deteriorate the excellent relationship between both countries during the past weeks, using the Strait of Gibraltar taxation system as a excuse.
The Kingdom of Spain, once again, insists that the Strait of Gibraltar waters are Spanish property, and that the Spanish Government position will not change on the matter, as the Strait of Gibraltar current status is undisputed and enforced by the Spanish Armada in the framework of the Operación Columnas de Hércules. The territorial integrity of Gibraltar and its surrounding waters, including those of the Strait, remain a Spanish red line on both its internal and foreign policy, and has been backed by several nations since its establishment back in 2020. No nation sanctions or threats will change this position the Kingdom of Spain has had since the establishment of a taxation system in the area, a position that has been backed by several Mediterranean nations. The Spanish Government would also like to remind that both the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency and the Ministry for the Spanish Commonwealth Affairs, Overseas Missions and Territorial Waters are always up for summits and meetings in order to discuss tax-related matters with any European nation.
The Spanish Government reserves its right to respond to these sanctions in due time, without retorting to war, but employing the legal resources available in the Spanish Legal Order, such as the Royal Decree, and hearing the Congreso de los Diputados and the Senado de España as it has always done. The Kingdom of Spain remains a democratical nation and still respects the role of Parliament in its democracy, considering both chambers as key to the well-functioning of the State. In addition, the Spanish Government has called the British Ambassador to Spain for inquiries.

Statement - On Gadalland and Aspern
The Kingdom of Spain follows with special interest the developing events in Gadalland and Aspern, a very valuable ally of Spain where the Spanish Armed Forces hold significant military presence and with which Spain has a Defensive Agreement that entitles the Spanish Military to defend Sertia in times of need. The President of the Kingdom of Spain, Jesús Aguilar; the Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, Alfonso Dastis; the Minister of Defence, María Dolores de Cospedal; and the Minister for the Spanish Commonwealth Affairs, Overseas Missions and Territorial Waters, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, are meeting in the Palacio de la Moncloa to discuss the situation.
The Spanish Government does not support the declaration of independence issued by Aspern and the West Olves, and recognises the Government of Sertia led by Fornithias Cranst as the sole authority over the island. This position has also been adapted by the Spanish Commander for the Caribbean and the Pacific, General Carlos Brown, who is monitoring the events with his team and the troops deployed in Gadalland and Aspern. In a diplomatic telegram sent by the Spanish Government, President Jesús Aguilar has told Fornithias Cranst that "Spanish troops are ready to serve in any situation that requires their aid".
The Spanish Government does also call Guthrun Wond to abide by the legal order of Gadalland and Aspern, as he has done during the term he served as the Head of the Braetha, and to cease with his intentions to break up Gadalland and Aspern, a nation he used to have huge love for when he was in office. The Kingdom of Spain also offers its mediation to both parties and hopes that a peaceful and diplomatic answer is reached soon.

Joint Statement between the Kingdom of Spain and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
The Kingdom of Spain and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland have agreed to carry together the duties of the 'Operación Columnas de Hércules' in exchange of a military base lease to the United Kingdom in the city of Gibraltar, after a meeting between the President of the Spanish Government, D. Jesús Aguilar, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Keir Starmer, that was held in the city of Gibraltar on the 3rd of April, 2023.
Both leaders have underlined their will to cooperate to achieve a safer Mediterranean Sea, that now faces "a critical moment in history" after the passage of the Freedom of Navigation Act. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Keir Starmer, has shown his support for the taxation system applied by the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency as for the territorial waters claim that the Kingdom of Spain holds in the Strait of Gibraltar, both complying with European law. In addition, Jesús Aguilar has thanked the British Prime Minister for his "sincere, honest apology" and has welcomed the United Kingdom's will to help Spain at keeping the Mediterranean safe from "modern day threats that are not far from Spain".

On the Hellenic entry into the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency
The Gibraltar Strait Security Agency wishes to announce that the Hellesthalassa Kingdom, commonly known as Hellas, has joined the Gibraltar agreement today at 0:00 CEST, effectively becoming a member of the GSSA. The President of the Gibraltarean Government, Mr. Fabián Picardo; alongisde the Spanish-Gibraltarean Director of the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency, D. Albert Issola, have both welcomed Hellas to the agency and stated that "a new time for Gibraltar begins today".
Due to this agreement, the fuctioning and governance of the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency changes. From today, the GSSA has two directors: one appointed by the Kingdom of Spain, who has delegated said function to the Government of Gibraltar; and another appointed by the Government of Hellas. Both directors will be in charge of making decisions, requiring unanimous agreement to adapt any decision. In addition, the Strait of Gibraltar has been divided in two equal parts, seven kilometres each.
After their first meeting, both directors have agreed to keep the current tariffs and access criteria, which was released in a statement published on December 27th, 2022.

On the Capture of Guthurn Wond
The Spanish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation wishes to congratulate Sertian authorities for the capture of Guthurn Wond, which has been possible thanks to the great training and professionality of these. The Spanish Government, as the nation in charge of the defence of Gadalland and Aspern, and Sertia, wants to outline this successful operation within the cooperation that both Spanish and Sertian authorities established a few years back and that remains untouched up to this date. Spain also wishes to reaffirm its compromise with this and other agreements signed with Gadalland and Aspern, and offers its support to Sertian authorities in whatever they need, as to the Head of the Braetha, Fornithias Cranst.

On the Direction of the ASMSA
Due to the changes in the Government of the Comunitat Valenciana, the Direction of the Adventuranza Sea Maritime Security Agency is now held by Doña Salomé Pradas Ten, Councillor for the Environment, Water, Infrastructures and Tourism. The ASMSA wishes to thank Doña Rebeca Torró Soler for her services in the direction of the Agency since December 2022, becoming the first woman ever to hold such a significant position.
Despite this being the first time a change on the leadership takes place in the middle of the Director's term, the Adventuranza Sea Maritime Security Agency members have decided not to interrupt the Comunitat Valenciana's term in a unanimous vote. A change of the Agency's direction will take place at the end of the year, in December, when Ceuta is expected to take over from the Comunitat Valenciana in the direction duties.

On the Implementation of the New Taxing System
Beginning on Monday, 21st August 2023, the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency will implement a new system that will be tested until the end of 2023. This new procedure has been approved on the GSSA meeting held today in Gibraltar, Spain, with consensus between both Directors, as the Treaty of Functionment of the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency requires. In said meeting, the Agency has approved the following changes:
- Tariff Changes: The Gibraltar Strait Security Agency has approved a change on some nations' tariffs. The Republic of Istkalen is moved to Group 0, California is now allocated in Group 2 and the United Duchies is moved to Group 3. Until the new revision on December 2023, tariffs are as follows:
Group 0: Inquista, Icholasen, Istkalen, Vayinaod, Fremet, Red Croatia, Hellas, Spain, Angleter, Anastocopala, Duxburian Union, North Diessen, Inimicus and Mishar.
Group 1: Leagio, Elthize, Gadalland & Aspern and Nofoaga.
Group 2: Lusitania & Vettonia, Ineland, Pravoslaviya, Brickston, Reich Hungary, California, Czech Slavia, Federal Republic of Icholasen, Bulgaria and Oregon.
Group 3: Reitzmag, Yosai, United Duchies and the United Kingdom.
Group 4: Union of Nicoleizian Soviet Republics, Neo Venetia and Svarna Surya.-
Access Prequisites: For ships to be allowed to go through the Strait of Gibraltar, shipping companies owning ships wishing to enter or exit the Mediterranean Sea should issue a inventory statement to the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency 48 hours prior to their arrival to the Gibraltar Strait area. Access may be denied if the inventory statement is not filled and delivered correctly. In that inventory, companies must declare the distributors they are working on behalf of, as well as the estimated value of the goods they are shipping. They must also add the registration of the ship, the nation where the ship is registered and the name of the shipping company itself.
-
New System: The Gibraltar Strait Security Agency has passed a new system that will be tested until the end of 2023, when the Agency will make a decision concerning the new procedure after analyzing the results of the test. With this system, the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency will directly tax countries based on the country of origin of the goods on a ship, charging them with a certain percentage of the total value of all the goods. Until the end of the test, the goods produced in or with origin in the United Duchies and the Federal Republic of Yosai will see its tax calculated through this system. In addition, if the goods from these two nations are transported in ships from taxed nations, an additional tax based on the group tha nation where the ship is registered will be added up to the calculation.
These new measures will enter in place on Monday, 21st August 2023, at 0:00 CEST.
D. Albert Issola
Spanish Director of the GSSAMr. Lysander Athanasiou
Hellenic Director of the GSSA -
Statement on the Strait of Gibraltar
The Kingdom of Spain rejects a new attempt from the Federal Republic of Yosai to blow up peace in the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar, by defying the current rule of law that the Spanish and Hellenic Government agreed for the Strait of Gibraltar in their recently signed Treaty, on which the Kingdom of Hellas joined the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency while the area was split in two equal halves, of 7 kilometres each; and which included the conservation of the current measures and taxation system that was recently updated after the agreement reached by the Spanish and Hellenic directors of the Agency; alongside the Freedom of Navigation Act 2023, passed by the European Council.
The Federal Republic of Yosai has, however, helped the Kingdom of Spain to prove that they are interested on bringing death, explosions and conflict to the European Union, by publicly stating their will to go through the Strait of Gibraltar with a military convoy escort. This convoy contravenes the access criteria established by the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency, and the Kingdom of Spain reserves its right to apply the necessary measures to enforce these measures alongside the GSSA. Furthermore, it risks peace and the so-long pursued stability in the Mediterranean Sea, that has remained peaceful in a very tense World. Yosai intends to bring tensions to a peaceful sea, and Spain, as the nation in charge of protecting the Mediterranean, will not allow this to happen. Today, Yosai has removed its mask and shown its real face, attacking Spain and the Mediterranean nations using one of them as hostage.
In addition, and in application of the Freedom of Navigation Act 2023, Section II, Article VII, which explicitly says "Member States may deny military passage through their territorial waters", the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Hellas deny the right of the Federal Republic of Yosai's military ships. The Kingdom of Spain and the Spanish Government believe on the rule of law of the European Union, and will not hesitate to act in order to keep the European rule of law wherever it is up to our nation to protect it.
D. Esteban González Pons
Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation -
Statement on the Newly Introduced Tariffs by the United Duchies
The Kingdom of Spain rejects the start of a Trade War between the United Duchies and the Kingdom of Spain, after the former raised Spanish tariffs to Schedule 5, establishing a 35% tariff on national products. The decision allegedly comes after the United Duchies considered there is an ongoing crisis between the two countries, something that was certainly untrue until tonight. The lack of a summit between the two nations follows a decision from the Spanish Government in which it does not wish to establish free trade or travel with the United Duchies at the moment, and which the United Duchies seems to be attempting to force a change to.
The United Duchies has, as stated before, decided that the best move was to begin a trade war between our nations, in order to force the Spanish Government to capitulate to Cair Para's exigences. The Spanish Government will not put its knees to the ground, as we believe the United Duchies interests go further beyond free commerce and movement. The Government at Cair Para clearly provoked instability in the Caspian and Red Seas, and their extortion attempts go further from Spain, involving two allied nations of Spain and whose trust has been earned and continues to be firm: Inimicus and North Diessen.
In response to this tariff changes, the Kingdom of Spain therefore rises the Duchian tariff to a 40%. Nevertheless, the Spanish Government will be glad to lower these tariffs if the United Duchies does so. The relationship between the two nations, against what was stated by the Cair Para's Government, was formal and fine; and it should have remained like this if the United Duchies would not have acted in a hostile maneer against Spanish products and companies.

On the possible interference of the United Kingdom in the Sertian Conflict
The Spanish Government is surprised to hear from the Sertian press that the United Kingdom might have supported Aspernian rebels in their fruitless attempt to undermine the political and social unity on the island, previously known as Gadalland and Aspern. The position adapted by the Kingdom of Spain concerning the unity of Sertia remains the same, as stated on February 13th, 2023; on a statement signed by the Ministers for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation; Defence, and for the Spanish Commonwealth Affairs, Overseas Missions and Territorial Waters, nowadays integrated in the Ministries for Foreign Affairs, Defence and Home Affairs.
The Government reiterates its support for the current Sertian Government and the Head of the Braetha, Fornithias Cranst. The Kingdom of Sertia is a great ally of the Kingdom of Spain, with whom this nation has several compromises, such as the defence of its territory if needed; and is always vigilant when it comes to any developing events in the island. As we await for official confirmation of this report, the Kingdom of Spain will not make any statement until all evidence has been confirmed. The United Kingdom remains to be a friend of our nation, having earned and deserving our deepest respect.
The Commander of the Caribbean and the Pacific and President of the Military Bases in Nofoaga, General Carlos Brown, will travel to the Kingdom of Sertia in order to monitor the situation closely. A meeting with the Head of the Braetha, or any Government official, will also be requested shortly.

On the Rotatory Direction of the ASMSA
The Adventuranza Sea Maritime Security Agency wishes to thank Dña. Salomé Pradas Ten, from the Comunitat Valenciana, for her services and commitment during the four months and a half she has served as the Director of the Agency. The outgoing director, as well as her predecessor, Dña. Rebeca Torró Soler; have helped the Agency to transition into its new status as a Sea agency, rather than a Strait agency.
Due to the agreement between Ceuta, the Canary Islands, Escocia, Cantabria and the Comunitat Valenciana, the head of the ASMSA changes every year, rotating in a circle from west to east. The new Adventuranza Sea Maritime Security Agency Director is Don Alejandro Ramírez Hurtado, Councillor for Development, Environment and Urban Services in the Autonomous City of Ceuta. It is the first time that a Spanish territory on the other side of the Adventuranza Sea takes over the direction of the ASMSA.
The new director wishes everyone a Happy New Year, and is committed to stability and progress for the Adventuranza Sea, as well as environmental conservation.
