GIBRALTAR: Gibraltarians reacted with relief and caution on Friday after Madrid and London reached a deal allowing the territory to become part of Europe’s passport-free zone to keep movement fluid on its border with Spain.
Some 15,000 people, mainly Spanish, pour into Gibraltar, a tiny British territory on the southern tip of the Iberian peninsula, from Spain every day to work, accounting for half of its workforce.
Thousands more tourists go through the single checkpoint on the frontier every day, mostly day-trippers from Spain drawn in part by Gibraltar’s duty-free shopping.
With a land area of just 6.8 square kilometres, Gibraltar must import all of its food. Some 50,000 trucks cross the border every year on the only road linking the territory to Spain.
