Brexit casts shadow over Gibraltar's future

Description

With its traditional British red phone boxes, pubs serving fish-and-chips and tax-free shopping, Gibraltar has long drawn day-trippers from neighbouring Spain. But the easy flow of people across the border from Spain which underpins the economy of this tiny British territory on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula risks ending when Britain leaves the European Union's single market on December 31. Along Gibraltar's pedestrianised Main Street whose buildings feature decorative Portuguese tiles, Genoese shutters and British wrought-iron balconies, shopkeepers worry business will be hurt by tighter controls at what will be a new border between Britain and the EU.

Spain: Accord needed to avert hard border with Gibraltar

Madrid, Dec 28 (EFE).- Spain will begin customs and immigration checks on the Gibraltar border at the start of 2021 absent an accord with the United Kingdom on the territory's post-Brexit links with the European Union, the foreign minister said Monday, though she added that people who cross the boundary daily for work will not be affected."If there is an agreement in principle, we could modulate mobility on the Gibraltar border. And if there is no agreement in principle, it is an EU external border with a third country and modulation is impossible," Spain's top diplomat said.
