MEP Krämer: EU-Canada 'romance' requires concrete commitments, not warm words
Tobias Krämer, the European Parliament's standing rapporteur on Canada, called for filling with real substance the proposal for Canada's 'associated membership' in the EU, voiced in September by Ursula von der Leyen. He proposed sectoral agreements on trade, defence, digital cooperation, the Arctic and student exchanges, as well as an institutional framework for coordination. The sides will meet at a summit in Montreal, where agreements on critical raw materials and digital issues are expected.
