<p>Gibraltar continues to be included in the scope of existing Single European Sky
II (SESII) legislation, as it should be under the Treaties of the European Union.
At the Transport Council on 5 December, the Government took a very firm position making
it clear to the European Commission and Italian Presidency that Spain’s attempts to
exclude Gibraltar airport from the proposed Single European Sky Two+ proposals were
unacceptable to the UK and the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport,
Robert Goodwill walked out of Council to protest this approach. The Government will
continue to oppose Spain’s attempts to exclude Gibraltar airport from future aviation
legislation.</p>
