By EUobserver
European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker told reporters that he hoped the outstanding issues over a free trade deal between the EU and Canada would be settled in the next few days, saying "I hope that we will be able to see an agreed settlement in a few days, with the Wallonians, our friends". The Belgian region of Wallonia is blocking ratification over social and environmental concerns.
