The European Union reached a political agreement with the UK on the post-Brexit border arrangements for Gibraltar following talks on Wednesday.

Checks like those at St Pancras for the Eurostar will take place at Gibraltar Airport, carried out by Spanish and Gibraltarian officials.

The UK has agreed to a fluid border between Gibraltar and Spain - which will not require checks on people crossing - the government said, clearing the way to finalise a post-Brexit deal with the EU. It marks a breakthrough in talks on rules governing the border that have been ongoing since Britain left the European Union in 2020.
