Oh, Canada: Surprise loser in US-EU trade deal

Further information:

A surprising casualty is emerging in the trade debate between the United States and European Union: Canada.

Almost overnight, the pact struck between Ottawa and Brussels in September 2014 has been delayed to early 2016. There is little chance the deal, which covers nearly €80m of annual trade and was four years in the making, will take effect until 2017.
