Margallo warns MEPs against Gibraltar Treaty

Former Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo has once again lost no opportunity to hit at Gibraltar in the European Parliament.

In a reference to the Rock, he also warned MEPs not to sanction another Cayman Islands at the very southern border of Europe through a Gibraltar treaty.
