Currently, Gibraltar has the status of a British Overseas Territory, with sufficient autonomy. Gibraltar, which is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is part of the EEC and the EEC customs union, but is not included in the euro area, which allows the territory to adopt its own liberal tax and financial laws, being an offshore zone.
