Aug 28 - Frontier Movement Comes to a Standstill on Spanish Side
The flow of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic on the Spanish side of the frontier once again came to a standstill at 11am this morning . Stringent checks are being imposed with Guardia Civil officers inspecting each motorbike and asking to view documents.
Pedestrians entering Gibraltar are also being subjected to strict checks with passports being inspected thoroughly. The EU Commission yesterday noted that a date had not yet been set for their mission that will see experts investigate Spanish border controls, including Customs.
The scene at the frontier is nothing new, with hefty queues for both vehicles and pedestrians becoming an almost regular occurrence as from around 10am each morning.
