Dear John,

Thank you for taking part in our campaign to stop CETA*, the toxic trade deal between the EU and Canada. I wanted to tell you about the latest success we have had. Today, the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, was due to meet the president of the EU commission for a ceremonial signing event in Brussels.

Thanks to the campaign, the real pressure that the EU have come under from you and thousands others like you, Justin Trudeau is in Canada today.

The signing of CETA has been postponed, but the deal is not over - help us stop it 

The Wallonian parliament, representatives of the French-speaking part of Belgium, have taken a stand against CETA and blocked the signing ceremony. This wouldn't have happened without the resistance that has been raging in every corner of the EU.

Yesterday, the secretary of state for international trade, Liam Fox, appeared before a parliamentary inquiry. He apologised for not allowing parliament a debate on CETA, saying there hadn’t been enough time to have such a debate.

Thanks to the impasse created by the Wallonian parliament, there is now time to debate CETA, and we insist that Liam Fox ensures that happens as soon as possible.

Please email Liam Fox to insist on a CETA debate in Westminster

Thank you for your support,

Guy Taylor

* CETA stands for Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement
