The Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel informed the EU that Belgian is not ready to sign a trade agreement between Canada and the European Union, as the document has not received a unanimous support of all regions of the country, reports the BBC. " The federal government, the German community and Flanders said 'yes.' Wallonia, the Brussels city government and the French community said 'no',” said Michel.

At the same time, the Walloon Governor Paul Magnette said that he does not intend to make a decision under the strong pressure that is exerted on the regions. " We are not against a treaty with Canada…But we won't have one that jeopardizes social and environmental standards and the protection of public services and we want absolutely no private arbitration mechanisms, "said Magnette.
