"It was back in June that the EU announced that it had come to an agreement with the UK, Spain and Gibraltar, tying up the last loose end of the Brexit process some five years after the UK formally left the block and almost a decade after the referendum vote. Though the finalising of the text represents another step towards the ratification of a future treaty, although it is not yet definitive and still requires final approval before ratification and entering into force."
""The text is currently undergoing legal review by the European Union and the United Kingdom before proceeding with the respective internal procedures for the signing and conclusion of the future agreement," an EU source told Europa Press after confirming that the legal text was "completed" on December 12th. The conclusion of the legal text comes nine and a half years after the UK left the bloc despite 96.7 percent of Gibraltarian voters opting to remain."
Almost a decade after the Brexit referendum, the EU, UK and Spain have moved forward with a treaty to end Gibraltar's legal limbo. The agreement's legal text was completed on December 12 and is undergoing legal review by the European Union and the United Kingdom before internal signing and conclusion procedures. The text addresses remaining post-Brexit arrangements for Gibraltar, tying up the last loose end some five years after the UK's formal exit. Gibraltar labels the development positive and pledges transparency, with the final treaty to be subject to scrutiny by Gibraltar's, the UK’s and the EU's parliaments. Final approval and ratification remain required before the treaty can enter into force.
