What happened
Ursula von der Leyen proposed that Canada could become the European Union's first 'associate member' during a meeting in Strasbourg. The EU currently lacks a formal associate membership status within its treaties. Von der Leyen suggested the EU examine Israel's model of 'integration without membership,' which began when Israel sought a diplomatic mission to the European Economic Community in 1958.
