Vehicles Engaged in International Road Transport (AETR), on the extension by States
of the validity of the European Agreement (AETR) to the territories for the international
relations of which they are responsible, are outdated and contradict the Declaration
of the General Assembly of the United Nations on the Granting of Independence to Colonial
Countries and Peoples (General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV) dated 14 December 1960),

The Permanent Mission of Spain to the United Nations presents its compliments to the
Secretary-General of the United Nations and, in his capacity as depositary of the
European Agreement concerning the Work of Crews of Vehicles Engaged in International
Road Transport, in view of the extension by the United Kingdom of the application
of the said Agreement to the territory of Gibraltar, and taking into account the entry
into force of the amendment to its article 14, notifies him of the following declaration
approved by the Council of Ministers of the Government of Spain on 22 September 2020:
1. Gibraltar is a Non-Self-Governing Territory whose international relations the United
Kingdom is responsible for and which is subject to a process of decolonization in
accordance with the relevant decisions and resolutions of the United Nations General
Assembly.
2. The authorities of Gibraltar are local in character and exercise competences exclusively
over internal affairs that originate in and are based on the powers allocated to and
conferred on them by the United Kingdom, in accordance with its domestic legislation,
in its capacity as the sovereign State upon which depends the said Non-Self-Governing
Territory.
3. Consequently, any involvement by the Gibraltarian authorities in the implementation
of this Agreement shall be understood to take place exclusively within the framework
of the internal affairs of Gibraltar and shall not be considered to affect in any
way the content of the two preceding paragraphs.
4. The process provided for by the Arrangements relating to Gibraltar authorities
in the context of certain international treaties, adopted by Spain and the United
Kingdom on 19 December 2007 (jointly with the “Agreed Arrangements relating to Gibraltar
authorities in the context of EU and EC instruments and related Treaties” of 19 April
2000), applies to the present Agreement.
5. The application to Gibraltar of the present Agreement, and possibly of its Protocols,
cannot be interpreted as recognition of any rights or situations involving spaces
not included in article 10 of the Treaty of Utrecht of 13 July 1713, concluded between
the crowns of Spain and Great Britain.
This declaration is communicated for publication and dissemination in accordance with
the depositary practice of the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
