Chief Minister Fabian Picardo has welcomed news of a post-Brexit UK/EU deal but said “the clock is still ticking” on negotiations for an agreement for Gibraltar’s future relations with the bloc.
The deal between the UK and the EU does not cover Gibraltar, but Mr Picardo expressed confidence that an agreement could be reached to protect the Rock’s interests – and those of the neighbouring region in Spain – after December 31.
