The European Union and the U.K. have reached an agreement to ease cross-border trade and travel in Gibraltar after years of post-Brexit wrangling over the contested territory, EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič said Wednesday.

Spanish border officials will check the passports of UK travellers entering British territory in Gibraltar under a deal to settle the Rock’s post-Brexit status. It will mean “dual border checks” for people who arrive on flights at Gibraltar airport, carried out first by officials from the Rock, and then Spain.

The Foreign Secretary David Lammy said: "Today’s breakthrough delivers a practical solution after years of uncertainty." | ITV National News
