Gibraltar: UK Relations with EU

Question: To ask His Majesty's Government, with regard to the UK–EU Agreement in Respect of Gibraltar: Joint Statement on 11 June, whether Gibraltar will be required to align with the EU single market.

Answer: Specific practical arrangements have been agreed on the movement of people and goods to facilitate the removal of immigration and customs checks on people crossing the land border between Gibraltar and the EU. To enable this fluid movement, the Government of Gibraltar has agreed that all goods circulating in Gibraltar will be compliant with EU rules. This will be achieved by imported goods being pre-cleared in the EU before moving to Gibraltar. Movement of services and capital are not in scope of the UK-EU Agreement.
