The European Parliament approved on Wednesday a free trade deal between the European Union and Canada, allowing it to enter force provisionally in the coming months.

EU lawmakers backed the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) by 408-254, meaning large parts of the EU-Canada deal, notably tariff reduction, will finally apply some eight years after negotiations began.
