Belgium puts EU-Canada trade deal in flux

18 October 2016

EU trade ministers have had Belgium on their minds today - but rather than tucking into chocolate and waffles they've been dealing with the more unappetizing problem of a regional Belgian parliament that's blocking their attempts to cut a trade deal with Canada. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement - or CETA - is the EU's biggest trade deal yet, with many Brexiteers eager to use it as a model for their own post-Brexit deal. But without Belgium on-board, CETA is stalled.
Share Radio's Juliette Foster was joined on the phone by Dennis Novy, Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Warwick and Associate of the Centre for Economic Performance, to discuss the future of CETA.
