The European Union (EU) and Britain reached an agreement on the status of the overseas territory of Gibraltar on Wednesday which facilitates border crossings and ends years of political uncertainty.

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 a deal with the European Union over Gibraltar's status after Brexit. Talks on rules governing the border between Spain and the British Overseas Territory have been ongoing since the UK left the EU in 2020. The UK said the agreement would avoid the need for checks on people and goods crossing the Gibraltar-Spain border.
