The European Union and the U.K. have reached an agreement to ease cross-border trade and travel in Gibraltar after years of post-Brexit wrangling over the contested territory, EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič said Wednesday.

The Foreign Secretary told MPs to ‘ignore the fake news’, that Gibraltar joining Schengen ‘was never on the table’.

Gibraltar and Britain are understood to have agreed a deal to hand control of the border to Europe following drawn-out negotiations.
