`:I (and I think everybody else) have always agreed that the southern part of the isthmus is ``de facto`` under British control (that means, there are barriers, custom facilities, etc at the limit of this territory). I believe that the ``de facto`` situation is clear all along the article (and it's fine with me, I have never disputed it).  :The thing is that this subsection deals specifically with the territorial dispute, and this has more to do with political and legal concepts. Although the ``de facto`` limit is clear, the political and legal border (the ``de iure`` border) is very much under dispute.   :The ``de facto`` border is the ``de facto`` border, not ``the border``. The ``de iure`` border is the ``de iure`` border (not ``the border`` either). It is the British (and only British) position that the ``de iure`` and ``de facto`` borders are the same in Gibraltar. The Spanish position is that the ``de iure`` border lies south of the ``de facto`` border. The fact is that, for example, EU directives (on airspace, airports, customs, etc) never include the ``de facto`` border of Gibraltar: they explicitly leave it to Spain and the UK to manage the isthmus according to ``de facto`` temporary agreements.  :To say that ``the border`` is at wherever the ``de facto border`` is, IS BIASED (sorry to contradict you, MilborneOne, I say this very respectfully).The article should take this into account, especially in the subsection about territorial disputes.  :Pfainuk, Justin/Monster, Richard, please, can you take a look at the other points I mentioned above? It is very important. Thank you.      `
