The UK and Gibraltar are set to finalize an agreement for dual border controls at Gibraltar International Airport, similar to the Eurostar system. This development follows four years of negotiations concerning Gibraltar's land border with Spain and aims to facilitate free movement by integrating Gibraltar into the EU's Schengen area. David Lammy and Fabian Picardo are currently in Brussels meeting European negotiators to solidify the deal that could enhance travel and commerce for the region. The proposal is expected to provide stability, security, and prosperity for locals and border workers alike.
"It's time to try to finalise arrangements for [a] lasting, stable relationship between Gibraltar and the EU/Spain which is safe, secure and beneficial..."
"Under the terms of the agreement being thrashed out, travellers arriving at Gibraltar airport would show their passports to British and Spanish border officers."
"The UK and Spain have been engaged in on-off negotiations for four years over Gibraltar's land border with Spain."
"Our wish, as ever, is to make as much progress as possible and to reach a deal as soon as possible."
