One would suggest you act very carefully, and read the small print.

Justa thought.

If Spain signs a DTA agreement with Gibraltar then they won't be able to accuse Gib of being a piratical tax haven. I therefore doubt it can happen.

Well at least they're willing to talk to Spain for a change...

They've always been willing to talk to Spain. It is the Spanish that have refused to speak to them and try to insist it is a bilateral dispute with London.

@3 If Spain won't enter into an agreement with Gibraltar then Spain doesn't even get to complain about the tax regulations in Gibraltar.

@4 I think Gibraltar are usually willing to talk to Spain about matters of mutual interest, just not soverignty.
A good example would be that I need to have a conversation with my neighbour about me trimming back the top branches on one of her trees (if the wind is in the wrong direction then it occasionally knocks tiles off of my roof, and if the wind blows in the opposite direction it'll have several tiles off of her roof).
However if she starts claiming that because the tree overhangs my garden then my house belongs to her (she wouldn't, she's sane) then I'd be inclined to just lop off the overhanging branches without asking her and let her worry about her own damn roof.
