Further information: EUObserver reported that EU Trade Commissioner met Canadian leader on the 6 February 2013 as the European Commission stepped up its bid to secure the latest in a series of lucrative free trade agreements. The Commission was expected to sign off on the EU/Canada deal within the coming weeks after four years of negotiations starting in 2009. On the 6 May 2013, a top official said that Canada is close to finalising a long-delayed free-trade deal with the European Union but will not set a timetable for reaching an agreement, even though the EU is set to start talks with the United States. EurActiv also reported, on the 8 May 2013, that European bans on hydraulic fracturing - or fracking - for shale gas could face lawsuits under a far-reaching investment clause in the draft Canada-EU Trade Agreement treaty. |
