EU quietly drops 'associate membership' wording from Canada declaration
Original: EU removes mention of ‘associate membership’ from Canada declaration
The European Union has removed all mention of 'associate membership' from its joint declaration with Canada, revising the language used to describe the depth of their relationship. The change affects how Ottawa's ties to Brussels are formally characterised. Observers are weighing whether the wording signals a shift in how the EU views partnerships with countries outside the bloc.
Why now: The EU's revision of its official language on Canada's status is newly reported and touches on the sensitive question of non-member states' relations with the bloc.
