Tripartite Commission For Gibraltar Reaches Agreement
The governments of Gibraltar, Spain and the United Kingdom have issued a joint
statement announcing that they have reached a preliminary agreement concerning
flights to Gibraltar's airport, and issues concerning telecommunications and
the border with Spain. According to a joint communique of the Tripartite Forum of Dialogue on Gibraltar,
issued Wednesday: "The three participants confirm that the necessary preparatory work related
to agreements on the airport, pensions, telephones and fence/border issues,
carried out during the last 18 months, has been agreed. "Accordingly, they have decided to convene in Spain the first Ministerial
meeting of the Tripartite Forum of Dialogue on Gibraltar on 18 September 2006. "In addition to considering the above matters, the participants will,
in this meeting, consider what other issues will be discussed in the Tripartite
Forum thereafter." Among the issues considered was whether flights from Spain to Gibraltar would
be considered 'internal flights'; the sharing of security at the airport between
Spain and Gibraltar; the border 'fence'; and telephone services, which are severely
restricted in Gibraltar. .
