Guernsey is the second largest of a small group of Islands
called the Channel Islands situated in the English Channel just off the
Cherbourg peninsular and approximately 80 miles from the South coast of England.
Guernsey typically enjoys a mild climate, low crime rate and good regular
services between both Europe and the UK by both Sea and Air. Its main sources of
income are provided by the Tourism, Horticulture and the Finance Industry, the
latter being mainly due to our special tax status.
Although British, Guernsey does not form part of the United Kingdom nor does it
have a direct relationship with the EEC. It does however enjoy a special
relationship defined by Protocol 3 attached to the Treaty of Accession of the
United Kingdom to the EEC which could only be changed by unanimous resolution of
All member states. Special arrangements also exist to allow free movement of
manufactured and agricultural goods between Guernsey and member states. Guernsey
has a constitutional right of self government which it has enjoyed since the
13th Century however arrangements do exist whereby Guernsey laws are approved by
the Crown.
