The European Union has stepped back from an offer to open talks with Canada on associate membership following disagreements among its member states, according to The Guardian.
A revised draft joint statement instead proposes closer association between Canada and the EU without full membership. The change came as the EU-Canada summit in Montreal was about to begin.
The summit runs Thursday and Friday, with the joint statement due to be issued at its conclusion.
