Treaty talks overcame EU red line of exclusive Schengen checks on arrivals, Michael Llamas reveals

Gibraltar's Attorney General has provided some insight into Treaty negotiations and the hurdles that had to be overcome before an agreement could be reached.

One of these, Michael Llamas said, was the EU's initial red line that arrivals in Gibraltar should be subject exclusively to Schengen checks.

As talks progressed, agreement was reached on a system of dual control, which preserved Gibraltar's own immigration check, with residents using e-gates rather than the EU's Entry/Exit System.
