Bulgaria repeats Canada trade veto threat
By EUobserver
The Bulgarian foreign ministry Monday repeated an earlier threat to veto an EU-Canada free trade pact when it comes up for national ratification unless Canada drops visa requirements for Bulgarian nationals. "We consider the conclusion of [the deal] and achievement of full visa reciprocity as a whole process", it said Monday after Bulgaria's deputy foreign minister met with Canada's immigration minister in Brussels in talks organised by the European Commission.
