CAMPO DE GIBRALTAR (Agencies) The Cámara de Comercio del Campo de Gibraltar (Chamber of Commerce, a somewhat different concept to that of other countries, and the subject of an upcoming article) has prepared a package of items it will be sending to the various electoral candidates at the coming local elections in May 22. A similar package is being set up by the national CofC organization for the elections next year. Among other things on the chamber's wish list are lower taxes so as to create employment, access to industrial land and more stringent payment schedules for municipal debts to small and medium businesses. The latter is one of the principal reasons so many small enterprises have gone out of business this last year.
