    Australia following Canada as EU associate member is ‘pure speculation,’ says Commission (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    BRUSSELS ― The European Commission played down the prospect of extending its newly floated “associate membership” concept beyond Canada, at least while Brussels works out the details with Ottawa. “We have made an announcement that relates to our intention to get closer to our Canadian partners via a process that will possibly go in that direction,” Commission spokesperson Arianna Podestà told reporters in Brussels on Friday. “We will not be speculating about other countries.” Her comments came a

    Canada’s Carney stops short of endorsing von der Leyen’s associate member plan (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    STRASBOURG — Mark Carney used an address to the European Parliament to sketch out what Ottawa would want from closer ties with the EU but declined to give full-throated approval of Ursula von der Leyen’s surprise “associate member” plan. Speaking a day after the Commission president floated the unique relationship status, the Canadian prime minister acknowledged the offer and instead of accepting it outright, listed potential individual areas of cooperation, including critical minerals, defense,

    STRASBOURG ― Ursula von der Leyen used her State of the Union speech Wednesday to rally against a world that's making Europe less powerful and poorer, and to which artificial intelligence and climate change present existential risks. In a longer and more passionate speech than the EU has been used to, the European Commission president made the case for "independence" ― economically, militarily and technologically. "Europe has chosen to forge its own path," she said, in the European Parliament in

    How did von der Leyen’s ‘independence moment’ hold up over 12 months? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Ursula von der Leyen used her set piece speech last year to declare Europe's "independence moment." Twelve months later, the European Commission president's record shows the EU's independence still very much depends on its national capitals. One year after her last State of the Union address, von der Leyen has delivered most clearly where the Commission could act largely on its own: writing laws and funding initiatives on core topics like tech, trade and social policy. She struggled most where s
