Traffic is flowing normally at the Gibraltar-Spain border after three days of delays due to increased vehicle searches by the Spanish authorities. The Foreign Office says the delays stopped after Foreign Secretary William Hague called his counterpart in Madrid. Spain has lodged a complaint with the UK over the creation of an artificial reef in the waters off Gibraltar. Gibraltar said the delays were linked to the reef. Spain says it has a duty to prevent smuggling. On Monday morning, the Royal Gibraltar Police tweeted there were no queues to leave Gibraltar and a "normal queue" to enter.
