The European Commission and the United Kingdom have signed the EU-UK Agreement in respect of Gibraltar.
This Agreement, which will enter into provisional application on 15 July 2026, is the result of more than four years of negotiations and completes the legal framework of the relations between the EU and the United Kingdom following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU.
Gibraltar is not included in the scope of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, signed in 2020 and in force since 2021.
The main objective of this Agreement is to secure the future prosperity of the whole region. It will bring confidence and legal certainty to the lives and well-being of the people of the whole region.
It will promote shared prosperity and closer and more constructive relations between the Gibraltar and Spanish authorities, while fully safeguarding Schengen, the EU's Single Market and its Customs Union.
