I understand now why you're upset - you feel the EU must stand by everything their representatives say while ours on the other hand are free (and right?) to duck and dive as much as they want.

I think it's old-fashioned British exceptionalism rising to the surface again.
Meanwhile, Gibraltar is seeking closer EU ties.

Spain and Gibraltar seek last-minute Brexit deal
Keeping free movement would give British territory closer ties to EU than when it was part of bloc
While Boris Johnson’s government wants a Canada-style free trade Brexit deal for the UK itself, Gibraltar would like to become part of Europe’s Schengen free-movement area and eventually the EU’s customs union — to neither of which it has ever belonged.
The issue is becoming increasingly urgent, with negotiators attempting to thrash out an overall Brexit deal by mid-November and the parallel three-way talks between Spain, Gibraltar and the UK aiming to conclude immediately afterwards.
