I had this very question on my Angel today, the person also mentioned the Corse gunboat dude. I had to do a search of the forums to ensure I was sure and I stumbled upon this.

Effectively immediately, Gallia is now open for trade.
a.Gallian freighters and transports can move outside Gallia.
b.Gallian faction ID'd ships (non-military, pirate or police factions) can move outside Gallia (this means that the ships in a. above can have escorts.)
c.Anyone can enter Gallia to buy or sell goods.
Time to move things forward. Make some deals. Any potential rules issues or other problems should be posted here.
This allows the ELF, IDF, & GMS to freely move into all of Sirius using trade ships and fighter/bombers to escort those trade ships.
For the other Gallic factions you can look at the older edict the Admins put forth:
Quote:GRN and GRP are not permitted in non-gallic systems.
Gallic unlawfuls are allowed into Taus and the edges of outcast space.
Gallic corporate transports are allowed into Taus
The Council is allowed in Taus, Bretonia and Kusari.
The last two lines are now moot as the newer announcement gives Gallic corporations and the Council more freedom in movement.
These are the last two announcements from the administration regarding this issue.
