Canada set to become first EU 'associate member'
Original: What is an EU 'associate member'? Why is Canada the first?
Canada is reportedly in line to become the first country granted EU 'associate membership', a new status short of full membership. The arrangement would give Canada closer ties to the EU in areas like trade, research, defence and mobility without joining the bloc. Commentators are debating what the new status involves and why Canada was chosen first.
Why now: The EU has moved to create an associate membership framework and Canada is the first candidate, prompting discussion of what this new relationship means.
