Mission & Goals
The Channel Islands Brussels Office (CIBO) was established in 2011 as the joint office of the Governments of Guernsey and Jersey (the "Channel Islands"). CIBO represents the Channel Islands to the EU institutions and advises the two Governments on EU policy issues. Guernsey and Jersey are autonomous dependencies of the British Crown. The EU-UK Trade & Cooperation Agreement (TCA) applies to the Islands in respect of the relationship between the Islands and the EU in relation to: (i) trade in goods, including customs tariff and procedures, as well as recognition of certain regulatory standards in relation to agricultural and manufactured goods; and (ii) access to fisheries resources in the territorial waters of each Bailiwick.
EU Legislative Interests
All EU legislative and policy developments which are directly or indirectly of relevance to the Governments of Guernsey and Jersey. These include but are not limited to: data protection, the green and digital transition, the data and digital economy, new EU restrictive measures regimes (sanctions), financial services, the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, tax, aviation and judicial cooperation (including on asset recovery).
