Brexit and Gibraltar

Colloquially known as ‘the Rock’, Gibraltar is part of the European Union (EU), joining the EU’s predecessor (the European Economic Community or EEC) in 1973 as a dependent territory of the United Kingdom. However, Gibraltar has a unique relationship with the EU, different from any other territory of a member state.

This paper looks at the impact of Brexit on Gibraltar.
