UK's sovereignty over Gibraltar post-Brexit remains a contentious issue

David Cameron said that British tourists might be stopped by EU border guards when entering Gibraltar. This is part of a deal to have a smooth border between Gibraltar and Spain. The European Scrutiny Committee is worried about how this deal might affect the UK's control over Gibraltar. The issue arose because of Brexit, which made Gibraltar look for a new border arrangement with the EU. Gibraltar didn't want Brexit, with 96% of people there voting to remain in the EU. David Cameron explained that in the future, both Gibraltar and Schengen would do checks on people entering Gibraltar. If there's an alert from Schengen, British tourists might be turned away. Cameron mentioned that a deal might not happen if it doesn't meet the UK and Gibraltar's requirements. He supports Gibraltar's wish for a smooth border, similar to how Eurostar checks are done in London. There are concerns about Spanish police having access to Gibraltar for surveillance under the Schengen agreement. Cameron believes that having EU border guards in Gibraltar is necessary for a smooth border. Currently, there are long waits at the Spanish border with Gibraltar. Cameron understands Gibraltar's suspicions towards Spain and wants to protect Gibraltar's sovereignty. Conservative MPs are worried that the proposed deal could compromise British sovereignty over Gibraltar. They are against EU border guards having access to Gibraltar's airport. The UK and the EU are close to reaching an agreement, but there are concerns about maintaining control over who enters Gibraltar. It's crucial to protect Gibraltar's sovereignty and security. The UK government wants to make sure any agreement with the EU is acceptable to Gibraltar and safeguards its sovereignty. The deal should also protect the UK's military facilities in Gibraltar. It's important to listen to Gibraltar's voice in these discussions to ensure its interests are considered.
