LONDON — Prime Minister David Cameron has asked the European Union to investigate border checks on traffic entering the British enclave of Gibraltar that have led to long traffic delays. The UK has said it is considering taking Spain to court over the border checks for vehicles entering Gibraltar, which it says are politically motivated and disproportionate. Spain has long laid claim to Gibraltar, and the tiny territory is the source of occasional diplomatic friction between Madrid and London. Cameron's office said Friday the prime minister called EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso to raise concerns the border checks violate EU rules of free movement and urge him to send an EU monitoring team to the Gibraltar-Spain border to gather evidence. — AP
