Brexit and the thorny question of Gibraltar : an agreement finally found
On the occasion of the European Council of 17 to 19 October, Theresa May, the British Prime Minister, and her Spanish counterpart Pedro Sánchez, announced that an agreement settling the question of Gibraltar in the context of Brexit has been found. This protocol, which will be annexed to the United Kingdom’s final withdrawal agreement from the European Union (EU), has not been made public. However, Spanish officials argued that this agreement and so the Gibraltar question would no longer be a problem in pursuit of negotiations on the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the EU. It seems that this protocol will raise the issue of the rights of British and Spanish citizens living on the rock, as well as the tax regime of Gibraltar.
