Luxembourg - Britain and Spain held inconclusive talks on Gibraltar yesterday, agreeing only to hold more meetings in an attempt to solve one of the bitterest disputes yet between the two nations over the colony.
"There was no breakdown and no breakthrough," said a senior British official after the British and Spanish Foreign Ministers held 70 minutes of talks in Luxembourg. The Spanish Minister, Mr Abel Matutes, said afterwards that Britain had promised to implement more than 60 European Union directives in Gibraltar to cut down on a "parasite economy".
