Agricultural Goods. Canada is a very valuable export market for EU's agricultural, with annual sales of over 2.9 billion of euro. CETA will rapidly eliminate duties on agriculture products by 92.8 % (Canada) and 93.5 % (the EU) of trade lines, by the end of the transitional periods. This industry will considerably gain from CETA as all the tariffs will be eliminated. As example of ongoing disputes, in Canada, imports of wheat and barley originating in the NAFTA countries do not comply with WTO rules, at the same time continuing to benefit from the preferential NAFTA duty rates. Therefore, EU exporters must face this preferential trade on the Canadian market. Under CETA, the elimination of tariffs is "considerably more comprehensive and ambitious than required by Article XXIV GATT", with no tariff lines excluded a priori, including agriculture, thereby possibly resulting in the liberalisation or even the elimination of these restrictions on EU wheat and barley exports (Trade Barriers). The EU is Canada’s major import source of wine, this accounted for half of Canada's imports. The elimination of tariffs on this products provides also the removal of other relevant trade barriers which will significantly improve access to the Canadian market for European Wines and Spirits (Facts and figures of the EU-Canada Free Trade deal, 2013). In accordance with the Agreement on trade in wines and spirit drinks, Canada will shall to respect and follow some rules to have the EU names listed in Annex of the Agreement entered on the list of protected geographical indications (GIs) in Canada. Canada currently recognizes a number of wines and spirit GIs of the European Union, such as Cognac and Bordeaux. With regard to Canadian trademark that use English and French languages, CETA will offer protection for GIs without prejudicing the validity of existing trademarks of this country. Some EU GIs were protected but with the caveat that they not impact the ability of producers to use specified English and French languages terms that are commonly employed in Canada [Technical Summary of the Final Negotiated Outcomes]. Under this trade agreement between the EU and Canada, the agricultural goods from Canada will treated at the main rule of origin, qualifying for duty-free treatment.
