Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a British overseas territory located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. It has an area of 6.8 km² and a northern border with Spain, Andalusia. The rock of Gibraltar is the main point of interest of the area. The economy is mainly based on tourism, financial services and shipping. The name comes from the Arabic: ") (-jabal Tariq: the mountain of Tariq, to the Moorish army leader Tariq ibn Geedi.

Gibraltar was in 1704 during the war of the Spanish Succession by an Anglo-Dutch force conquered Spain. The area was then in 1713 under the Treaty of Utrecht "forever" transferred to the United Kingdom. It was an important basis for the Royal Navy. The sovereignty of Gibraltar is a major bone of contention of the Anglo-Spanish relationship because Spain claims Gibraltar. Spanish Gibraltarians rejected proposals for sovereignty referendum in 1967 at and again in 2002. According to the 2006 Constitution Gibraltar regulates its own affairs English, although some privileges, such as defence and Foreign Affairs remain the responsibility of the Government of the United Kingdom.

In 1969 werd de grens volledig gesloten, wat grote problemen opleverde voor het wederzijdse woon-werkverkeer. Gibraltar moest in die tijd ook voor de eigen drinkwatervoorziening zorgen. Na de dood van Franco verbeterden de betrekkingen en in 1982 werd de grens weer geopend. De Spanjaarden bleven echter vasthouden aan lastige grenscontroles, terwijl die aan de andere grenzen al lang waren afgeschaft. Ook over de zeggenschap over de territoriale wateren in de Baai van Gibraltar hebben de nodige conflicten plaats gevonden. Pas in december 2006 werd een vliegverbinding geopend tussen Madrid en Gibraltar. Het blijft verboden om rechtstreeks van Britse in Spaanse territoriale wateren te varen; schepen kunnen dus niet passagiers van Gibraltar en Algeciras voor Marokko meenemen, maar ook daarover zijn gesprekken aan de gang.<sup class="noprint nopopups" len="312" style="line-height:1;">[bron?] José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero en Tony Blair tekenden in september 2006 een akkoord dat de meeste problemen tussen beide landen en Gibraltar moet oplossen. De luchthaven van Gibraltar mocht voortaan vluchten uit Spanje en de rest van de Europese Unie afhandelen en zou zowel door Britse als Spaanse ambtenaren worden bemand. De aanvliegroute mocht door het Spaanse luchtruim lopen. Daarnaast werden de grensbepalingen versoepeld, zou Spanje meer telefoonlijnen naar Gibraltar aanleggen en werd een langlopend conflict over pensioenbetalingen aan Spaanse oud-arbeiders in Gibraltar bijgelegd.

The port is a partially military complex of the British Royal Navy on the west side, there is also an important military base built into the rock with an observation post at the top of the rock and there is still a military Garrison stationed in Gibraltar. Military ships do still the port and there are possibilities to receive and restore to submarines, which always leads to heated discussions in Spain.
