Sovereignty issue remains in Treaty talks, Fabian Picardo tells Commons European Scrutiny Committee
The Chief Minister has told the House of Commons European Scrutiny Committee one issue remains in Treaty negotiations, where it's "difficult to strip out sovereignty".
Taking questions on the state of negotiations on post-Brexit border and trade arrangements for the Rock, Fabian Picardo would not be drawn on details but stressed talks were paused because of Spanish elections and not due to issues relating to the Gibraltar Airport.
He reiterated there would be no concessions on Sovereignty, Jurisdiction and Control but admitted a referendum may be necessary if a Treaty changes the balance of the way things are done in Gibraltar.

It's possible to finalise an agreement on Gibraltar's future relationship with the EU by the end of the year but the text of the treaty by then is unlikely.
This according to the Chief Minister, who answered questions from the European Scrutiny Committee of the House of Commons.

Fact-finding mission for European Scrutiny Committee
The European Scrutiny Committee has spent time at Gibraltar’s frontier and has talked to officials as well as citizens with blue ID cards who have recently experienced difficulties crossing into Spain.
The committee says their fact-finding mission has given them an invaluable “on the ground” understanding of the problems at the frontier. It says this will be fed into a report expected to be submitted to the U.K. Parliament in autumn.
David Jones is one of nine Conservative MPs who make up the majority of the committee, all of them pro-Brexit. The MP told GBC he accepts Gibraltar’s current issues - at the frontier and not being able to access free emergency and medical care in the EU - were a predictable consequence of Brexit.

The European Scrutiny Committee has spent time at Gibraltar’s frontier and has talked to officials as well as citizens with blue ID cards who have recently experienced difficulties crossing into Spain.
The committee says their fact-finding mission has given them an invaluable “on the ground” understanding of the problems at the frontier. It says this will be fed into a report expected to be submitted to the U.K. Parliament in autumn.
David Jones is one of nine Conservative MPs who make up the majority of the committee, all of them pro-Brexit. The MP told GBC he accepts Gibraltar’s current issues - at the frontier and not being able to access free emergency and medical care in the EU - were a predictable consequence of Brexit.
But Mr Jones believes the overriding concern of the people of Gibraltar is to ensure they remain British.
Speaking to our reporter Jonathan Scott, the Tory MP said the big takeaway for the European Scrutiny Committee is that it’s essential for Gibraltar, its people and its economy, for the frontier with Spain to be as fluid as possible. He said he’s confident this can be achieved in the treaty negotiations.
