It has been held up with legal challenges in Ireland around the Investor Court System www.socialdemocrats.ie/government-m...

“Crucially, the free trade element of CETA – which has seen the reciprocal removal of nearly 99 per cent of tariffs between the EU and Canada – has applied since September 2017. So, any claims this was done to facilitate the trade element of the deal do not stand up to scrutiny.

“The fact is, ratification of this deal will lead to an investor court system being established, which allow large corporations to leapfrog domestic and EU courts and take cases against governments to tribunals when policy decisions impact their bottom line.

“The government sat back for three years and did nothing after the 2022 Supreme Court judgment and is now trying to use the cover of tariff wars to claim ratification of this deal is urgent. It is not.

It's not the EU. This is an FF/FG action

Small point but comparing anything with Irish GDP gives mad figures. It grew by 15.8% so far this year!

He has no antipathy for the EU. He just wants everyone to go back to their national currencies and do debt write downs and competitive devaluation against each other.

Reading a de Gaulle biography. Was struck by how the Brits are always at it. Always.

I often wonder myself how much 'getting a land border with the rest of the EU' is part of Hungary's accession. When you look at the map and the way it connects to Ro, Bul, and Greece, it just makes sense. I feel the same way about Serbia. It's like a 'We can fix them later' strategy.
