CETA trade deal - Protests outside European Parliament over Canada EU deal
Armed with banners emblazoned with the the slogan “The more you insist, the more we resist” and a giant Trojan Horse balloon, campaigners lined the streets outside the European Parliament to protest against the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
Some of the protestors, wearing all-white boiler suits, lay on the ground, which meant those entering the building would have to walk over them.
Canada’s controversial trade pact with the Brussels club was signed last October after a lengthy battle, but it will have to be ratified by the European Parliament before being approved by the national legislatures of the 28 EU member states.
