Canada may become a partner member of the European Union as early as 2027 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that the country will still become the first "partner member" of the European Union - European colleagues will determine the scope and scope of the "new form" of cooperation in the coming months, writes Reuters. We are working to strengthen our partnership, but without joining the European Union, Carney said. According to him, we will talk specifically about the status of an "associate member" in the European Union, but the details of this cooperation format have not yet been settled. Perhaps, he added, it could be done by June 2027. At the same time, the mention of "partner membership" was not included in the text of the joint statement following the summit in Montreal due to objections from Germany and other countries, Reuters points out.
