Britain and EU sign historic treaty on Gibraltar

The United Kingdom and the European Union today signed a historic treaty on Gibraltar.

The signatures were signed this Tuesday in Brussels, in the presence of the Prime Minister of Gibraltar and the Foreign Minister of Spain.

The historic treaty, signed on behalf of the UK by the Secretary of State for Europe, North America and the Overseas Territories, Stephen Doughty, aims to provide economic and commercial security for the people and businesses of Gibraltar, protect British sovereignty and safeguard the autonomous operation of UK military facilities.

Gibraltar was left out of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement after Brexit, creating the prospect of a devastating "hard border" for the 15,000 people, over half of Gibraltar's workforce, who cross the land border between Spain and Gibraltar every day.

The new treaty offers practical solutions to avoid the need for heavy checks and long delays at the border, providing security for people and businesses in Gibraltar and opening up new opportunities for flights and economic growth./CNA
