Acting Permanent Under Secretary Matthew Rycroft summoned the Spanish Ambassador H.E. Federico Trillo this afternoon to raise the United Kingdom’s serious concerns regarding a significant incursion into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters on 18 and 19 November. The UK remains confident of its sovereignty over the whole of Gibraltar, including British Gibraltar Territorial Waters. "The Spanish incursions are unlawful: they do not change international law or weaken the legal basis for British sovereignty,"
