Speaking on Tuesday, Policy and Resources Committee chief, Senator Pierre Horsfall said that Jersey had been put 'on the radar' since hosting the British-Irish Council last week.
The Jersey Evening Post reported that in a statement to the House on Tuesday, Senator Horsfall revealed that:
'Those at the very top now know about us somewhat better than before, and they will have seen for themselves that we are well able to punch above our weight. In other words, Jersey is on the radar.'
The JEP reported that the Senator played his cards relatively close to his chest with regard to his 15 minute private discussion with UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair, declining to reveal in any great detail what was discussed. However, he did let slip that: 'If there was speculation that it included the subject of the EU tax package, I would not seek to quell it.'
He concluded by observing that: 'I regard the holding of the summit in Jersey as an outstanding success which has far exceeded any expectation that I had in 1999 when I made the invitation, and which will stand Jersey in good stead for many years to come.'
