La UE ofrece a Canadá convertirse en el primer "miembro asociado" de la historia del bloque
La presión de Donald Trump lleva al bloque comunitario y a Canadá a acercar posturas como nunca antes. La Comisión aún no ha definido a qué ventajas y obligaciones estaría sujeto el país que preside Mark Carney bajo esa nueva etiqueta. Leer
The European Union has proposed that Canada become its first associate member in its history, offering the country a unique partnership based on shared values and mutual interests. However, the EU has yet to define the specific advantages and obligations that such a status would entail for Canada. The proposal, made by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, aims to strengthen the EU's unity on crucial issues such as Ukraine, defense, raw materials, and supply chains, while emphasizing their shared commitment to democracy and the rule of law.
Von der Leyen highlighted the areas where the EU and Canada share common goals, including the integration of defense, energy, raw material, battery, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cybersecurity, and economic security. The EU sees potential for creating a common space of prosperity and security through this partnership, which comes at a time when Canada has distanced itself from the United States due to the ongoing conflict with former President Donald Trump.
Von der Leyen clarified that this association is not aimed at anyone in particular but rather seeks to strengthen our common strength, without singling out any specific geopolitical issues.
