The Gibraltar–Spain border is the international boundary〔The Kingdom of Spain does not recognize the existence of an international boundary. isthmus_between_Gibraltar_and_Spain〕 between the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar and Spain. It is also referred to in (スペイン語: as La frontera de Gibraltar) (The frontier of Gibraltar) or simply as The Frontier. The border runs east-west for a total of separating Gibraltar from the neighbouring Spanish municipality of La Línea de la Concepción.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://chartsbin.com/view/mp2 )〕 Since the United Kingdom is outside the European Union's Schengen Area, Gibraltar is too and therefore, identity checks are required to cross the border. ==History== The Lines of Contravallation of Gibraltar were built in 1730, north of the isthmus linking Spain with Gibraltar. The neutral zone between Gibraltar and Spain has since been built on by Spain. These lines were the first form of a border between Gibraltar and Spain. The frontier has not always been marked by a barrier. In 1909 Britain was aware of the need to reduce the number of sentries and built a fence 7 ft (c. 2m) high, however there was suspicion about the motives for the fence. Spanish dictator Francisco Franco ordered the closure of the border gate on June 8, 1969, in response to the Gibraltar Constitution Order 1969. The border was not fully reopened until February 1985. In 2010, the People's Party mayor of La Línea, Alejandro Sanchez, attempted to impose a so-called "congestion charge" on people entering or leaving Gibraltar, despite having been told by the Spanish Government that such a charge would be a breach of national and international EU law. In 2013, due to growing tensions between Gibraltar (backed by Britain) and Spain, the Spanish border control began to search every passing vehicle, creating queues on both sides of the border which were several hours long. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gibraltar–Spain border」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
