The negotiation between David Cameron and José Manuel Albares, foreign ministers of the United Kingdom and Spain, has recently been reactivated and so much progress has been made that both countries are on the verge of reaching an agreement on the future of Gibraltar that will include the key issue of control From the airport. This is what the British newspaper maintains in an article signed by its correspondent in Spain, Isambard Wilkinson, together with Bruno Waterfield and George Grylls. They highlight that after years of stagnation, Cameron’s arrival at the Foreign Office has reactivated the talks and it is claimed that so much progress has been made that the agreement is “a hair’s breadth away” and could be closed in the coming days.

The Times highlights that the United Kingdom and Spain are about to sign a critical agreement on the future of Gibraltar after Brexit. Remember that talks stalled a year ago after the Spanish government insisted that the United Kingdom hand over sovereignty over Gibraltar airport, where an RAF (British Air Force) base is located. But he emphasizes that the negotiation was reactivated last December, after David Cameron’s arrival at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and emphasizes that he met with his Spanish counterpart, José Manuel Albares, in the first week of April.
The article cites bilateral “sources close to the talks” who say that both parties have made progress to overcome British objections to the Spanish proposal that Madrid have control over Gibraltar airport. They remember that this is the key issue for any agreement on the future of the Rock. But they assure that the negotiations have advanced so much that they are already at a “climax” and that those involved in the talks are hopeful that the deal can be closed in the next seven days because it is “a hair’s breadth away.”
