Netflix to spend €1 billion to make more made-in-Spain shows
"Over the next four years we plan to invest over one billion euros in Spain," Netflix co-chief executive Ted Sarandos said at an event in the company's studios near Madrid.
"With this investment, we will be able to contribute even more to the Spanish economy, create more Spanish jobs, tell more great stories made in Spain," he said, standing alongside Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
The event marked the 10-year anniversary of Netflix's presence in Spain.
It opened its studios there -- the first ones outside the United States -- in April 2019, shortly after finding global success with the Spanish crime series "Money Heist".
Since then, it has turned the 22,000-square-metre (236,800-square-foot) studios into one of its main sites for film and TV production in the European Union.
According to Netflix, its activity in the country supports more than 20,000 jobs.

Ryanair to fine 'disruptive passengers' on flights to Spain €500
Europe's biggest airline by passenger numbers has previously hit out at "unruly" behaviour caused by travellers consuming excessive amounts of alcohol while waiting to board delayed flights. "Ryanair is committed to tackling unruly passenger behaviour for the benefit of its passengers and crew, and will continue to pursue disruptive passengers for civil damages, but at a minimum, they will now be issued with a 500-euro fine," Ryanair said in a statement Thursday. A spokesperson added that the penalty "will be issued to any passengers offloaded from aircraft as a result of their misconduct". Ryanair in January said that it had incurred costs of €15,350 as a result of a "disruptive passenger" on board a flight from Dublin to Lanzarote, in Spain's Canary Islands, last year. This was because the plane had to divert to the Portuguese city of Porto, where the passenger was arrested, and the more than 160 other travellers on board were provided with overnight accommodation and meals. But there are countless other incidents involving drunk passengers, often British, such as the emergency landing of a Ryanair flight from Manchester to Ibiza last September, or a woman dragged off a Ryanair plane from Tenerife to Prestwick which had to land in Portugal this May. And it's not just Ryanair that's been affected by this trend. Drunk and disorderly holidaymakers on board other airlines have been arrested by police before take-off and after landing, forced pilots to turn the aircraft around mid-air, hit airport security guards, harassed air stewards and taken part in brawls with other passengers. Ryanair said it faced other costs, including the need for additional fuel and crew. The airline filed civil legal proceedings against the passenger in Ireland to recover its outlay. At the same time, it called on the European Union to limit the sale of alcohol at airports. Ryanair transported more than 200 million passengers in its last financial year to the end of March. It forecasts that the number will rise to 300 million by 2034.

Spanish banks to allow Bizum instant payments to other European countries
Banco Santander has become the first financial institution in Spain to offer Bizum payments to other European countries. The news is a step forward for digital banking in Spain, allowing people to be more financially connected with the rest of Europe. The system is based on technical connectivity enabled by the European Payments Initiative (EuroPA), which seeks to unify payment services across Europe. Following successful pilot tests, this connectivity is now a reality, and new countries and banking institutions are expected to join the network in the coming months. Thanks to the interconnection of the mobile payment platforms, Bizum customers will now be able to connect with Bancomat in Italy and MB WAY in Portugal. According to the bank, it will connect 50 million users and 186 financial institutions, which is first step while awaiting a single European solution, for which no agreement has yet been reached. This means that Santander customers will be able to send and receive money instantly from and to users in these two countries, as well as in Andorra. It will be carried out in the same way as it is in Spain, by selecting a contact in your address book via a phone number, without having to enter an IBAN or use bank cards. Although Santander is the first bank to join, it is set to be rolled out very soon by several other banks in the country. Abanca, OpenBank, CaixaBank, BBVA, and Banco Sabadell are all expected to implement this service by the second quarter of 2025. While Europe continues its search for a single solution to transfers between countries, these platforms have taken the issue into their own hands, thanks to the EuroPA initiative. The hope is that Europe will adopt this method using the existing infrastructure in the future. Bizum is a Spanish mobile service that allows users to send an amount of money that usually ranges between 50 cents and €500. It enables you to make payments or request money from a phone number, if you have a Spanish account number from a bank linked to it, and now an Italian, Portuguese or Andorran one too. It's a free app service which was launched by Spain's main banks in 2016 as a way of competing with other mobile payment services such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Paypal and others. Bizum has over 20 million users in Spain and is how many Spaniards choose to split the bill, pay small amounts for services and even pay their rent.

90-day rule, borders and taxes: What the Gibraltar deal means in practice
The EU on Wednesday announced that it had come to an agreement with the UK, Spain and Gibraltar, tying up the last loose end of the Brexit process some five years after the UK formally left the block and almost a decade after the referendum vote. This follows years of negotiations to settle Gibraltar's post-Brexit status, a tiny British overseas territory that has a land border with Spain and, by extension, the EU. Negotiations stuttered at various junctures, especially under the previous Conservative government in London. The arrival of a new Labour government last summer, however, is widely viewed to have kick-started talks and formed part of a wider reset of relations with Europe. Spain's premier Pedro Sánchez spoke to his British counterpart Keir Starmer by phone on Wednesday. 'Prime Minister Sánchez congratulated the Prime Minister on his leadership," Downing Street said in a statement. 'Both leaders also agreed that this development unlocks huge opportunity to advance the bilateral relationship between the UK and Spain, on behalf of the British and Spanish people.' Gibraltar's Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said in a statement that he was "delighted" to finalise an agreement, adding that it will give "legal certainty to the people of Gibraltar, its businesses and to those across the region who rely on stability at the frontier." The deal, he said, 'will protect future generations of British Gibraltarians and does not in any way affect our British sovereignty." British Foreign Minister David Lammy said in a statement: 'Alongside the government of Gibraltar, we have reached an agreement which protects British sovereignty, supports Gibraltar's economy and allows businesses to plan for the long-term once again.' Spain's Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said that 'With this agreement, the barrier will disappear. That's the last wall on continental Europe, and we will guarantee free movement of persons and goods. Gibraltar will be linked to the Schengen area, and Spain will control entry and exit.' What's been agreed? We don't know exactly yet. Until the specifics of the text are published and ratified, it's difficult to know for sure. However, though the text of the deal is as of yet unpublished, reports suggest the deal ensures a fluid border for both people and goods over La Línea, the land border, and will allow for Spanish police officers to do passport checks in Gibraltar's airport to maintain the integrity of the Schengen area. What happens now? The deal must now be ratified via the "internal procedures" in each country, something that is far from a certainty, especially in Spain. With governments described as centre-left in both London and Madrid, the deal will also be heavily scrutinised by the right-wing in Britain and Spain. This will be especially true among pro-Brexit Conservative and Reform MPs, but also on the Spanish right, for whom 'The Rock' is something of a blood and soil nationalist issue. According to the joint-statement:"The way is now clear for negotiating teams swiftly to finalise the full legal text and proceed with the respective internal procedures leading to the signature and ratification of the future Agreement." EU Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security, Interinstitutional relations and Transparency Maros Sefcovic (R) and Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares (L) greet each other during a press conference on a post-Brexit deal with Spain and Gibraltar at the EU headquarters in Brussels on June 11, 2025. (Photo by Nicolas TUCAT / AFP) Key points of the Gibraltar deal What about the border? The deal aims to maintain a 'fluid' border between Gibraltar and Spain. One of the main points of the agreement is the removal of the physical border separating Spain from Gibraltar, with the aim of facilitating the movement of the 15,000 people who travel daily between the two territories. Many Andalusians living in the area travel to Gibraltar and Gibraltarians often have business and family ties to the area across the border in Cádiz province. The agreement also creates 'dual' EuroStar-style border controls carried out by both Gibraltarian and Spanish officers at the port and airport, while most controls at the border crossing between Gibraltar and La Línea will be removed. It's notable that Spanish police will do passport checks in Gibraltar airport, rather than Frontex officers, the EU's border agency, as was expected. Spanish daily El País reports that the British Government believes border checks 'will be implemented in a similar way to the one already in place with the French police operating at St Pancras train station in London." 'Spain will be responsible for 'carrying out full Schengen checks'," it adds. What abouts goods controls? Similarly, the agreement also seeks to eliminate goods controls between Gibraltar and the EU via Spain. "In the area of goods, the Parties agreed on the principles underpinning the future customs union between the EU and Gibraltar, providing for strong cooperation between the respective customs authorities and removing checks on goods," according to the joint statement. Like with cross-border workers, thousands of businesses in Gibraltar and the Campo de Gibraltar area of Càdiz across the border depend on fluid crossings with minimal goods controls. How does this impact British military bases? The joint statement does not refer specifically to the issue of military bases, but London has emphasised that the agreement guarantees the 'full operational autonomy' of British military facilities in Gibraltar. The recent strategic defence review presented by the Starmer government emphasised "the importance of maintaining a British military presence' on the Rock, particularly protecting "British territorial waters around Gibraltar" and providing a launching pad for British military operations. Concessions on military bases would've likely been a step too far for London and interpreted as a 'Brexit-betrayal" by the British right. What about the 90/180 day rule? Again, the exact details are unknown but reports suggest that, due to the new dual EuroStar-style passport checks, the deal will establish Schengen rules to non-resident Britons arriving in Gibraltar. The Guardian notes that 'This means they could be turned away at the border if they have already spent 90 days in the Schengen zone over a 180-day period.' What about sovereignty? In theory, the agreement has no direct impact on sovereignty. However, the issue of Spanish police on British territory — border guards in the airport, in this case — was long a sticking point during negotiations and has for decades been a point of contention among Gibraltarians who remember the tough years when dictator Francisco Franco closed the border for thirteen between 1969 and 1982. British and Gibraltarian sources have been keen to downplay sovereignty losses. However, Eurosceptic voices in the UK will likely view the passport checks as a concession to the Spanish. Some in Madrid may view this as a victory, and reports suggest that the fluid land border was made conditional on 'Spanish boots on British territory' at the airport. What about tax? The Times reports that as part of the deal Gibraltar will end its VAT-free regime so a new import duty or 'transaction tax' will be introduced. Spanish authorities have long called for tax reform on the Rock, arguing the lack of sales tax encourages smuggling of contraband goods into Spain. This is particularly true on tobacco and alcohol sales. Albares announced that the deal will include a "fiscal convergence process' because the Rock 'is joining the customs union.' The aim is to prevent indirect taxes applied in Gibraltar, such as on tobacco, from distorting competition in the Campo de Gibraltar area. The deal also pledges to fight money laundering, another historical complaint of Madrid.
