The European Union is exploring a potential joint response to trade partners considered unreliable, drawing on its relationship with Canada as a reference, according to a report.
Ahead of the EU-Canada summit planned for October, a partnership going beyond the CETA agreement is under consideration; CETA currently underpins annual bilateral trade worth €130 billion.
According to the report, no agreement on financial services has yet been reached, and the new "associate member" status under discussion does not yet have a legal definition.
The report did not specify timelines for resolving these differences or which countries might benefit from a similar status in the future.
