I heard nothing, but I am not the media mastermonitor of the continent. But my money is on "unfounded rumour", last time the German government said something on it that was confirmed they recommended to remain hard, German industry leaders also want the EU to stay hard (to mount pressure to force Britain to stay in the EU). Confirmed seems to be that Spain drums the drums again over Gibraltar, however.
What is confirmed is that the EU member states now said they want to allow British citizens travel access into the EU without Visa, even if there is no deal. However, the EU cannot save itself from putting in another provocation: it formally discriminates between British citizens from the UK, and from the "British colony" Gibraltar.
