The European Union’s trade deal with Canada should take another small step forward on Friday when Belgium’s regional parliaments meet to approve the deal. With the southern Belgium French-speaking region of Wallonia having stepped away from its objections on Thursday, the various levels of the nation’s regional governments will give their formal consent. That will allow the EU as a whole to give its endorsement at midnight and enable EU President Donald Tusk to set a new date for a summit with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to sign the pact. Belgium’s national and regional governments “are now on the same line,” Paul Magnette, the leader of the Walloon government who spearheaded opposition to the pact, told France’s Europe 1 radio on Friday. The EU’s other 27 countries have not objected to the deal. Wallonia, which accounts for less than 1 percent of the EU’s population, temporarily blocked the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, or CETA, saying it needed more time to negotiate amid concerns that the deal would impact consumer standards and employment. The accord would end 98 percent of tariffs on goods traded from the outset and 99 percent after seven years. Each side would dismantle all industrial tariffs and more than 90 percent of agricultural duties. Markets for services and public procurement would also be opened.
