On 19 December 2007, through exchanges of letters between the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of Spain and the United Kingdom and between the Permanent Representatives of the two countries to the European Union, Spain and the United Kingdom concluded an agreement on arrangements relating to Gibraltar authorities in the context of certain international treaties to which the European Community/European Union is not a party or mixed agreements which are or may be extended to include Gibraltar and could therefore give rise to action by the Gibraltar authorities. These arrangements shall be applicable to this Convention (as will the Agreed Arrangements relating to Gibraltar Authorities in the Context of EU and EC Instruments and Related Treaties of 19 April 2000).

In the event that this Convention on Contracts for the International Carriage of Goods
Wholly or Partly by Sea of the United Nations Commission on international Trade Law,
done at New York on 11 December 2008, is extended by the United Kingdom to include
Gibraltar, the Kingdom of Spain wishes to make the following declaration:
1. Gibraltar is a Non-Self-Governing Territory for whose international relations the
Government of the United Kingdom is responsible 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 Gibraltar authorities are local in character and exercise and exclusively domestic
jurisdiction that originates in and is based on the powers allocated to and conferred
on them by the United Kingdom, in accordance with its domestic law and in its capacity
as the sovereign State upon which depends the said Non-Self-Governing Territory.
3. Consequently, any involvement by the Gibraltar authorities in the implementation
of this Convention shall be understood to take place exclusively within the framework
of the domestic jurisdiction of Gibraltar and shall not be considered to affect in
any way the content of the two preceding paragraphs.
4. The procedure envisaged in the Agreed Arrangements relating to Gibraltar Authorities
in the Context of Mixed Agreements (2007), signed by Spain and the United Kingdom
on 19 December 2007 [..........] (together with the Agreed Arrangements relating to
Gibraltar Authorities in the Context of EU and EC Instruments and Related Treaties
of 19 April 2000), shall be applicable to this Convention.
