Cooperation proposals remain under discussion
The EU and Canada are set to consider closer cooperation across a broad agenda at their Montreal summit. Politico Europe says the talks could address defence, critical raw materials, space and artificial intelligence. Tages-Anzeiger also identifies rare earths, gas, research and the Arctic as topics. The reports present these as areas for negotiation, not completed agreements.
Potential Canadian liquefied natural gas supplies to Europe face a practical obstacle. Canada’s LNG terminals face the Pacific, according to Euractiv, making European deliveries more complicated. Euractiv says alternative contracting arrangements could offer a possible way around that constraint.
