Can CETA be saved?




Inside Story show

Summary: It's the classic tale of David versus Goliath. Wallonia is the French-speaking region of Belgium. The European Union has a population 99% larger. Wallonia appears to be winning its argument. The tiny population has rejected a trade deal between Canada and the EU known as CETA. In doing so, Wallonia derailed an agreement seven years in the making - which has the approval of every other country in the EU. Opposition to the deal spread across Belgium after Wallonians complained. Although Belgian government leaders support the deal, they say they can't approve it without support from the people. So, will the deal be renegotiated? And how does it affect the world-wide reputation of the EU? Presenter: Dareen Abughaida Guests: Fabian Flues, Friends of the Earth Europe.
