The Chief Minister spoke on Friday to UK Europe Minister with responsibility for Gibraltar Stephen Doughty MP 

This catch-up comes in preparation for the meeting in London this week between the Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. 

Mr Picardo and Mr Doughty agreed that it was important to finalise the text of the UK-EU treaty regarding Gibraltar as soon as possible. 

The Minister for Europe reassured the Chief Minister that the UK Government will continue to abide by the principle of “nothing about you without you” which has been the practice during the treaty negotiations.
