EU parliament chief, Canada minister meet to save trade deal

Canada's trade minister Chrystia Freeland said the "ball is in Europe's court" to save the CETA trade deal

EU parliament head Martin Schulz and Canada's trade minister Chrystia Freeland met Saturday in a last ditch bid to save a trade deal threatened by the refusal of a Belgian region to sign on.

"The ball is in Europe's court. We hope that it is possible to find a solution," Freeland said upon arriving at the parliament building, Belga news agency reported.
