		</div><p>Spain could use its veto in Brexit negotiations to target &#8220;unjustified privileges&#8221; in Gibraltar, reports suggest.<br />
A leaked Spanish Government document, reported in the newspaper El Pais, took aim at lower tax rules on the Rock, where corporation tax is just 10% compared to 25% in Spain.</p>
<p>The document, entitled Negotiations On The Withdrawal Of The United Kingdom From The EU, suggested that Spain would not accept a &#8220;relationship incompatible with the Spanish position on its territorial claim&#8221; to Gibraltar, according to El Pais. Gibraltar&#8217;s chief minister Fabian Picardo hit back at &#8220;aggression and belligerence&#8221; from Spain towards the British overseas territory, which Spain also claims sovereignty to.</p>
<p>British Prime Minister Theresa May has previously insisted that Gibraltar&#8217;s status will not be up for discussion during exit talks after negotiating guidelines drawn up by Brussels suggested Spain could have a veto over Gibraltar&#8217;s inclusion in any post-Brexit trade deal with the UK.</p>
<p>Mr Picardo said: &#8220;The Spanish Government&#8217;s mask is slipping. It is becoming abundantly clear that they want to try to use Brexit to take narrow advantage. &#8220;Gibraltar will, as ever, continue to seek dialogue over Spanish vetoes and will seek co-operation and friendship over Spanish aggression and belligerence.<br />
&#8220;Our goodwill and good faith will not be abused though.</p>
<p>&#8220;Soon Madrid will have to explain to the Campo why Spanish citizens starting work in Gibraltar post-Brexit don&#8217;t have the same rights as Gibraltarians in the workplace.&#8221;<br />
