Re: Britain outside the EU
Another part of Brexit is set to be completed.

Spain ready to sign a deal with Britain on Gibraltar as early as Wednesday - minister
Spain is ready to sign a deal on the post-Brexit status of Gibraltar as early as Wednesday, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said, before setting off to meet newly appointed British Foreign Minister David Cameron in Brussels.
Albares said he spoken with Cameron on Monday on the telephone and both men agreed to meet in Brussels to further discuss the status of Gibraltar there.
"Spain put on the table, several months ago, a balanced and generous agreement," Albares said in a Tuesday interview with Spanish TV station Telecinco.
He said he was due to fly to Brussels later on Tuesday, adding: "Spain wants this agreement to be signed tomorrow."
The status of Gibraltar, an enclave at the southern tip of Spain under British rule since the 18th century, and how to police the border with Spain, has been a point of contention since Britain's 2016 vote to leave the European Union.
The enclave was excluded from the exit deal reached between Britain and the EU.
