Giuseppe Spatafora quoted in Euronews about Canada's 'associate membership'

Discussing what Canada's 'associate membership' could entail, Giuseppe Spatafora told Euronews that "the most significant impact would be in the energy sector".

Having Canada as a "safe supplier" could help EU companies reduce their dependence on countries such as China and the US. It is uncertain, however, whether this would translate into a revival of Europe's car industry, given Beijing's control over the entire supply chain. "But it can certainly help the EU's efforts to develop strategic industries such as defence and advanced manufacturing," he added.
