Commission Notes and Eu Citizens

eu: In April, the Commission urged the European Parliament and council to "take a position" on the issue by July 12 -- but neither did, according to CTV. The commission notes that high-level political talks -- including a visit last week by Canadian Immigration Minister John McCallum -- have demonstrated progress, but they still want the issue resolved. The EU insists that since Canadians don't require visas to go to Europe, EU citizens should not need them to come to Canada. Top EU interior affairs official Dimitris Avramopoulos says the commission will continue to apply pressure. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
