Jul 29 - Cross-Frontier Workers To Be Allowed To “Jump The Queue”

If you are resident in Spain and work in Gibraltar, you will soon be able to “jump the queue” by showing a special pass issued by the Spanish authorities.

The pass will enable workers to use the red customs channel allowing them to bypass any delays on the green channel. The scheme will operate at the land border and is open to both pedestrians and vehicle users. Residents of Gibraltar who work in Spain will also be eligible to apply.

Spain claims that the new arrangement is a response to European Commission recommendations. Further details of the proposal can be viewed on this link: http://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2014/07/29/pdfs/BOE-A-2014-8059.pdf

According to the document, the proposal is designed to make the most of the limited space available to improve frontier flow.

The Gibraltar Government has confirmed that it is aware of the proposal and will issue a response tomorrow.
