GIBRALTAR (Agencies) Julio Montesino (photo), the Spanish government's Special Delegate to the Campo de Gibraltar, said yesterday at a seminar that, as far as Spaini s concerned, the matter of the sovereignty of Gibraltar can only be debated among states, in other words between Spain and the UK. His comments, which represent the viewpoint of his bosses at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, came only a day after the Rock's Chief Minister, Peter Caruana said exactly the opposite, that 'the time for bilateral talks is over', and that the Treaty of Utrecht is 'no longer any use' at the same venue, the Autumn Courses of the University of Cadiz, held in Algeciras. Montesino said that Spain's old claim on sovereignty is 'still current and irrenouncable' but that the Tripartite Forum, while it has induced many advances, will not include any debate on the subject.
