CETA Agreement with CanadaComprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (Ceta) • February 13th, 2017
February 2016 The EU-Canada negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) were concluded in September 2014. The agreement's overall aim is to increase flows of goods, services and investment to the benefit of both partners. Except for a few sensitive agricultural products, the agreement would remove practically all tariffs on goods exchanged between the two partners. Canada would substantially open up its public procurement, thereby eliminating a major asymmetry in access to each other's public procurement markets. The EU succeeded in securing protection for a large number of European Geographical Indications (GIs) on the Canadian market. Provisions on sustainable development should ensure that trade and investment do not develop to the detriment of, but rather support, environmental protection and social development.
