Germany, Italy, France and Greece objected to a draft EU-Canada declaration that cites von der Leyen’s ‘associate membership’ offer, as the member states fear legal uncertainty and a precedent for other third countries ahead of the Montreal summit on Thursday and Friday.
That’s democracy, though. I’d be more worried if Brussels was able to get its own way all the time with no pushback from the member states.
Oh yeah for sure. I’m just highlighting that it doesn’t work like Canada or the US.
