Madrid and London in new Gibraltar row

Spain said in August 2013 it was considering imposing a €50 fee on those entering and leaving Gibraltar amid an escalating row with the UK over fishing rights. Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo also announced a series of other potential measures. The UK reacted to the statements about its overseas territory by saying it 'will not compromise on sovereignty.'
