Leaders of U.K. and Spain Meet to Sign Deal that Eases Trade and Travel in Gibraltar
The agreement will enhance UK-Spain economic cooperation, building on Gibraltar's resolution and involving key sectors with nearly €80 billion in Spanish investment in the UK.
- On September 3, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will today meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London to sign the first bilateral post-Brexit agreement between the United Kingdom and Spain.
- After June's Gibraltar breakthrough, the Gibraltar agreement resolved the post-Brexit status, paving the way for closer UK-Spain political and commercial cooperation.
- After the signing, Sánchez and Starmer will attend a corporate roundtable featuring Iberdrola, Telefónica, Santander, Aena, Barclays, AstraZeneca and BP, with Spanish investment in the UK at almost 80 billion in 2022 and exports to the UK at €23.8 billion last year.
- The memorandum will establish regular dialogue on shared challenges including climate change, migration, and economic cooperation, with a legal framework completion by October enabling possible border fence removal next year.
- Observers note the pact could serve as a model for other UK–EU agreements, with business communities and residents of Gibraltar watching closely amid stakeholder concerns about local industries and jobs in Spain.
