BBC reporting that emergency talks now underway 22 Oct
Emergency talks are under way in Brussels in an effort to save an EU free trade deal with Canada (Ceta), blocked by a Belgian region.
European Parliament head Martin Schulz is to hold separate talks with Canadian Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland and the head of Belgium's Wallonia region.Ms Freeland abandoned talk yesterday, after seven years of negotiations.
