London Free Press: Canada and European Union link security, environment deals

London Free PressCanada and European Union link security, environment deal

The European Union may be having internal troubles, but Canada and the EU work so well together they reached agreements on issues ranging from security to the environment, Prime Minister Paul Martin said yesterday.

Martin wrapped up a one-day summit with EU leaders in this scenic border community by announcing deals to work together to stop overfishing in the North Atlantic, fight pandemics such as avian flu, and share airplane passenger lists to help fight terrorism.

"We've agreed to share airline passenger information in a way that balances security needs and the protection of individual rights," Martin told reporters as the summit ended.
