According to reports from the European edition of the US “Political News Network” quoting six diplomats on the 22nd local time, Germany, France, and at least six other EU member states are objecting to calling Canada a “co-member” of the European Union. European Commission President von der Leyen said in September that he is willing to push Canada to become the first “joint member” of the European Union. According to the “Political News Network”, the move came as a surprise to Canada and all member states of the European Union. According to six diplomats and two EU officials, on the eve of the EU-Canada summit scheduled to be held in the eastern Canadian city of Montreal from October 29 to 30, the two sides are in negotiations on a joint statement aimed at clarifying and deepening areas of cooperation, and the label “joint member” has become one of the main differences in the negotiations.
