CHIEF MINISTER MEETS MINISTER FOR EUROPE - 24/2025

The Chief Minister, the Hon Fabian Picardo KC MP, met with the Minister for Europe, the Hon Stephen Doughty MP, this afternoon in London at the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office.

The meeting was organised in order to further discuss the ongoing treaty negotiations between the United Kingdom and the European Union on Gibraltar's future relationship with the EU.

The Chief Minister said: "I really enjoyed seeing Stephen Doughty again to discuss the ongoing issues outstanding in the negotiation. Stephen deeply understands the issues and the way in which we have proposed to resolve all outstanding matters in a way that is in keeping with our fundamental positions whilst fully preserving the security of the Schengen Area and the integrity of the EU Single Market. If our proposals were accepted, we could have a treaty tomorrow. We continue to work on a fully coordinated manner, with the UK and Gibraltar teams working hand in glove with each other, to resolve matters as soon as possible in the interests of people on both sides of the frontier."
