Prime Minister: problems with CETA are yet another EU crisis
16:20
The problems with the signing of the CETA trade agreement between Canada and the EU show that the EU is going through yet another crisis, as it is unable to agree on a single position on important agreements, Prime Minister Beata Szydło said at a news conference on Wednesday.
Besides the problems with CETA, Szydło also pointed to the failure to ratify a partnership agreement between Ukraine and the EU, due to the No vote in the Dutch referendum. “This doesn't bode well for the future of the EU, and only confirms Poland's position since Brexit that the EU needs very deep and wide-ranging reforms,” the Prime Minister stressed.
On Wednesday in Strasbourg, Donald Tusk, head of the European Council, informed that due to Belgium's position, the EU is not yet ready to sign CETA, but talks are continuing in Belgium.
