Correct, that has been recently agreed. The headlines were all about Gibraltar's "colony" wording, but the real story behind it was that Council has approved (at ambassador level) for the 90/180 day Schengen arrangement, and has told Tusk to negotiate approval with Parliament. Normally this would go through on the nod, seeing that Council has approved.
