Cameron urges EU to send monitoring team to Gibraltar

'In a telephone call to José Manuel Barroso, Cameron expressed “serious concerns” over Spain’s increased border checks and requested the team’s dispatch, “urgently”.

Cameron says the checks are “politically motivated and disproportionate,” as tensions over the diplomatic dispute between London and Madrid heighten.

He says Britain is actively considering legal action and has urged the EU president to launch an investigation along the border, emphasizing the Commission has a responsibility to that effect as it should oversee the application of EU law.'
