Spainwill not back down on implementing tighter controls at its border with the disputed British territory of Gibraltar, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Monday, escalating the row between the two countries. "The controls are not a right, they are an obligation," the spokesman told Reuters, adding the Spanish government would not scrap the controls which it saw as being legal and proportionate to prevent money laundering and contraband oftobaccoand other products.
