Spain is warning of disruption for workers, tourists and businesses if no deal is agreed over Gibraltar’s border before the UK’s Brexit transition period with the EU ends.
Gibraltar, a British colony off the southern tip of Spain’s mainland, was not included in the Brexit trade deal announced on Christmas Eve to reorganise the commercial and trade relations between the EU and UK.
The deadline for Gibraltar remains January 1, when a transitionary period regulating the border between Gibraltar and Spain expires.
Spain succeeded in convincing the EU to separate the issue of Gibraltar from the greater Brexit negotiations, meaning that Madrid is handling all talks directly with its counterparts in Gibraltar and London.
Govt tightens Covid measures further, including night-time curfew and closure of non-essential shops 27th December 2020
The Gibraltar Government tightened Covid-19 restrictions on Sunday, ordering all non-essential shops to shut, reducing the size of gatherings to 12 and imposing a curfew from 10pm to 6am.
As the R number in Gibraltar rose to 1.79, Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said “a firebreak” was necessary in order to rein in the spread of the virus, which is “twice as infectious” as it was before.
The curfew will begin as from tonight, with the only exceptions for people who are undertaking employment, for the delivery of food, to walk a dog and in cases where medical attention is required.

SPAIN’S progressive governing coalition has removed an outstanding case against the European Commission over Gibraltar.
Originally made by the Partido Popular when the right-wing party was in power, it was aimed at forcing the Rock to change its taxation system.
If it had succeeded, Gibraltar would have had to have a corporate tax similar to the UK.
The current system, which was approved by the European Commission and the UK, gives international companies a real reason to move their offices to the British territory.
