EU and Canada to sign CETA trade deal on Sunday

2016-10-29 34 Dailymotion

After weeks of deadlock, the EU and Canada say they will sign a landmark trade deal on Sunday. <br /><br /> Claiming it was ‘‘Mission Accomplished, European Council President Donald Tusk announced in a tweet that he and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would hold a summit in Brussels. <br /><br /> Describing it as great news, Trudeau also took to Twitter to confirm he would be there for Sunday’s signing ceremony. <br /><br /> The announcement came after parliamentarians in Belgium’s French-speaking region of Wallonia did a u-turn and approved the CETA trade agreement on Friday, after initially blocking it. <br /><br /> Opponents of CETA say the deal, which could partially enter into force next year, will strengthen multinationals and degrade food, environmental and labour standards.<br />
