The Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) was signed ten years ago. Canada ratified CETA and so have 17 EU states. CETA has been provisionally applied.
But ten EU states have failed to ratify CETA, putting the whole Canada-EU partnership at risk.

They blame weak demand for slow progress, at around 300k per home - the price is the reason. We need lower cost homes and more of them, private companies want the opposite - we need to reform our housing market.

Profits up, housebuilding down - that’s the story here, the stranglehold of the big builders on our housing market continues. Barratt just made one third of a Trillion pounds but still calls market conditions tough and calls for government aid….seriously.
