Top level preparatory talks for EU deal, as Spain takes a tough stance

by JOE GARCIA
With Spain making noises that differ from the softer tones of the recent past, the British side have initiated preparatory talks for an EU deal.


The meetings have been held over a mantle of silence, as one would expect, with the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia leading the Gibraltar side. The Gibraltar side also included Attorney General Michael Llamas and Financial Secretary Albert Mena. The talks were held in Gibraltar over the last 48 hours.
The UK team: Lindsay Appleby, British Ambassador to the EU; Robbie Bulloch, FCDO Director and EU-Gibraltar negotiations, and Hugh Elliot, British Ambassador to Spain.
