“We recognize that the continent and the world have entered the environment increasing Research will focus on how the United Kingdom can better contribute to European security in this uncertain world, “he added.
In addition, the importance of this point Not only is it of interest to the United Kingdom or Spainbut also for the rest of Europe, so it must be taken into account. “British forces in Gibraltar can control the access and exit of the Mediterranean, which serve as a transit point for both this-west and north-south displacements in the Atlantic,” said Desi. “In case of a challenge to tactical superiority in the Eastern Mediterranean, they probably play a key role in the western defense and in the reaffirmation of NATO authority in the east,” he said.
The analysis occurred fair After a British nuclear submarine HMS Anson Torn on the Naval Base of Peñónwhich demonstrates again the military nature of the colony, just when negotiations with the European Commission on Gibraltar’s relations with the European Union are ongoing.
