Such arrangements should be in line with the law and accepted custom and in the interests of a fair solution. In this connection, the Council would remind the honourable Member that, on the occasion of the signature of letters of agreement between Spain and the United Kingdom in the spring of 2000, letters concerning a number of issues affecting Gibraltar, one of the issues the letters dealt with was, in fact, that of the authority competent to represent Gibraltar.
À cet égard, le Conseil rappelle à l'honorable parlementaire qu'à l'occasion de la signature au printemps 2000 de lettres d'accord entre l'Espagne et le Royaume-Uni relatives à certaines questions concernant Gibraltar, un des domaines couverts par ces lettres concernait notamment l'autorité compétente pour représenter Gibraltar.
