Agreements over Gibraltar to remain same even in no Brexit: Spanish foreign min

A hard Brexit, whereby Britain would leave the European Union without any agreement, would be a catastrophe for everyone, Spain's Foreign Minister Josep Borrell said on Monday.

Borrell also said that, even in the case of Britain leaving the union without a deal, bilateral agreements between the United Kingdom and Spain over Gibraltar would remain in place. The status of British citizens in Spain and Spanish citizens in Britain would not change substantially in the case of a hard Brexit, Borrell said during a conference in Madrid.
