CETA - Introduction
CETA - Introduction.
On October 18, 2013, Canada and the European Union (EU) signed the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
For the moment, this is an agreement in principle that has not yet been ratified or implemented by the two parties (federal and provincial governments, as well as the 28 EU countries) to return in force.
This target should be reached by 2015.
However, most of the major problems, set out below, have been resolved.
CETA has an extremely broad scope and applies to almost all sectors of trade between the EU and Canada, namely:
CETA – 1. Elimination of agricultural tariffs
CETA – 2. Elimination of industrial tariffs
CETA - 3. Services market and worker mobility
CETA – 4. Investment protection
CETA - 5. Public procurement
CETA - 6. Intellectual property
CETA - 7. Sustainable development, environment and work
CETA - 8. Dispute resolution and monitoring
