Britain remains part of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between the EU and Canada as long as it is a member of the 28-country bloc
Canadian and British negotiators aim to replicate CETA as much as possible in a two-way pact, le Jeune d’Allegeershecque told The Canadian Press from London on Thursday.
“The plan is still to have a transitioned form of the CETA agreement, which would reflect all the benefits that that has,” le Jeune d’Allegeershecque said. “We obviously now have a little bit more time.”“The legal position is we’re not allowed to negotiate,” said le Jeune d’Allegeershecque. The extension was reached in Thursday’s early morning hours in Brussels between May and EU leaders. She was back in London later Thursday and told Parliament she wanted to strike a compromise as soon as possible.May said if her own divided Conservatives and the opposition Labour Party can’t find a way forward soon, Britain will have to take part in the European Parliament election late next month.
