Gibraltar Chronicle - The Independent Daily First Published 1801: "La Linea’s controversial mayor Alejandro Sánchez has reworked his frontier toll plans to try and get round the growing reality that he would breach EU and Spanish national law. And he is seeking both Spanish and Gibraltar government participation for a radical series of works which he claims will ease the flow in and out of Gibraltar.

The near to bankrupt municipality yesterday declared that it would not have a compulsory toll but instead provide alternate routes one of which would be toll free.

The statement declared that the move will improve traffic flow, including into Gibraltar, and have a beneficial impact on the environment. He also said this new idea will meet the requirements of free movement of people and goods and that the charge will not be discriminatory."
