“We are ready for an agreement, but for there to be an agreement, two are needed”. Taking this “constructive spirit” into account, the minister expressed his hope that “it will be as soon as possible (an agreement with London)”. “In principle, the constructive spirit of the United Kingdom is also to build this area of shared prosperity”, said Albares. Constructive spirit and dialogue with London In a telephone call on 4 May, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez (PSOE/S&D) and his British counterpart, Rishi Sunak, agreed on the need to reach an agreement “as soon as possible” on the matter. Under such a legal framework, according to the Commission and Spain, Spain must take control of the external borders in Gibraltar and exercise certain functions for the security of the Schengen area.Īt the same time, there is a need to guarantee the free movement of goods between the EU and Gibraltar without increasing the risks to the EU internal market. The proposal, sent to London by Spain and the European Commission in November 2022, aims to establish a new legal framework that lays the foundations for a stable relationship between Spain and the European Union, on the one hand, and the territory of Gibraltar, through the UK, on the other, in a post-Brexit world. “For there to be an agreement, not only is there the Spanish proposal but there has to be the acceptance of the United Kingdom, so the ball is in the UK’s court”, Albares reiterated. “We put a global agreement on the table to build a shared prosperity zone between Gibraltar and the Campo de Gibraltar – in Spain,” Albares (PSOE/S&D) told the press in the Spanish city of Córdoba (Andalusia, south), EURACTIV’s partner EFE reported. The status of Gibraltar was subject to more uncertainty following the UK’s exit from the EU in 2021. The British seized it in the 1700s, and despite multiple spats in the years since, in 2000, the parliament of Gibraltar signed a declaration of unity stating they would never give up their right to self-determination up and that “Gibraltar belongs to the people of Gibraltar and is neither Spain’s to claim, nor Britain’s to give.” Located at the southern tip of the Iberian Penninsula, Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, subject to a territorial claim by Spain. For £3.75, I think we all deserve a little Percy pick-me-up this summer.The recent proposal for a shared prosperity zone in Gibraltar, put forward by Spain and the European Commission, now needs the UK’s acceptance, Spain’s Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said Monday. While I wouldn't say it particularly tastes of Percy Pigs, the little face on top certainly helps. The fruity taste is creamy, but not sickly and tastes a bit like bubblegum or candyfloss. It's lighter and icier than a milkshake so doesn't leave you full of regret. On first sip, it's actually pretty refreshing. Quite frankly, all drinks should be served this way. I have a sweet tooth, so was thrilled to see sweets, sprinkles, and cream top on top of the liquid. But a good-looking drink will only go so far. I'm a sucker for a pretty beverage, the more Instagram-grid-worthy, the better, in my opinion. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it, and so I visited an M&S Café to put my tastebuds to the test. But is it all style and no substance? I decided to investigate. It's then topped with whipped cream, Percy sprinkles, and a beloved Percy piglet sweet. Made with the flavours of the Percy Pig sweets we've all grown to love, the drink blends apple, raspberry, and grape. The Percy Pig frappe is, as you might have guessed, bright pink which plays perfectly into the hands of this summer's pink takeover thanks to the upcoming "Barbie" movie. The brand new launch coincides with the M&S new summer menu which features more brunch offerings, an afternoon tea and, of course, the magic coffee that went viral at the start of the year. That's why it has just added a new summer drink on its café menu that we are sure is about to take the nation by storm: the Percy Pig Frappe. Whether its limited-edition King's coronation specials or the iconic Colin the Caterpillar cakes, it's a brand which knows the public love a recognisable character to obsess over. High street stalwart Marks and Spencer is known for its creative food offerings.
