Britain has agreed to a 'fluid' Gibraltar border that will remove physical checks on travel between the territory and Spain - but allow EU passport controls at the Rock's airport for the first time.
Gibraltarian chief minister Fabian Picardo welcomed what he said was a 'historic agreement' that essentially puts the British Overseas Territory back inside the Shengen border for the first time since Brexit.
Talks on rules governing the border have been ongoing since Britain left the EU in 2020, against a backdrop of Madrid's claim to the enclave, which it ceded more than 300 years ago.
There will be dual border control checks for arrivals by air at Gibraltar airport, carried out by Gibraltarian and Spanish officials.
It means Britons who fly to the Rock having to show their passports to Spanish or EU border guards, despite it being UK territory.
