This agreement has been negotiated behind closed doors without the consultation of elected representatives and raises many democratic issues. Beyond the serious concerns you raised about this free-trade agreement, you clearly identified the need for transparency at the heart of the decision-making process. We have repeatedly conveyed similar objections through our parliamentary activities. Indeed, what is at stake in CETA goes beyond a simple technical agreement on liberalisation of goods and services: it is about our social and environmental norms, the regulatory capacity of public authorities and the independence of our justice.
