11.10.2021
Negotiations on the post-Brexit situation in Gibraltar between the European Commission and the United Kingdom began this Monday (11.10.2021) in Brussels, almost a year after Madrid and London reached a provisional agreement on the Rock. The negotiating round will last for two days, so it will conclude this Tuesday.
Community sources indicated that this first round of talks will serve for the parties to present their positions. In addition to the round that begins today, two more are planned in November and one in December, although sources assumed that the negotiations will be extended beyond 2021 and more rounds of talks will be needed.
As happened during the negotiation of the agreement on the future relationship after Brexit last year, the rounds will be held alternately in Brussels and London. Gibraltar is not included in the commercial and cooperation pact that London and Brussels reached at the end of last year, so it is necessary to agree on a separate agreement, after the principle of a provisional agreement reached between Spain and the United Kingdom on December 31, 2020. .
