Pakistan, June 13 — The European Union and Britain on Wednesday sealed a deal on the status of the territory of Gibraltar, in what was billed as a “historic” breakthrough five years after Brexit. The deal will ease the flow of people and goods over the Gibraltar-Spain border, and marks a new step in the much-vaunted “reset” of ties with Brussels under British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
When Britain left the EU in 2020, the relationship between Gibraltar – historically an important military base for Britain due to its position at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea – and the bloc remained unresolved.

Talks between London, Madrid, Brussels and Gibraltar on a deal had made halting progress during several rounds of negotiations under Britain’s previous Conservative government, but Labour’s return to power last summer gave them new impetus.
EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic announced the deal at a joint news conference with Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares, calling it “a truly historic milestone for the European Union, including Spain, as well as for the United Kingdom and Gibraltar”. “This agreement benefits everyone and will bring legal certainty and confidence to the people and businesses across the region,” he said, following Brussels talks that were also attended by British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Gibraltar’s Chief Minister Fabian Picardo.
