Canada-UK Transitional AgreementTransitional Agreement • November 10th, 2020
The UK is one of Canada’s largest and longest standing trading partners in Europe. Canada cannot risk losing market share to our competitors, many of which are actively engaged in free trade negotiations, while others have already concluded talks with the UK government. It is vital that Canada preserves competitive access and enhances its preferential access to this important and high value market. CAFTA remains concerned with the EU’s unwillingness to remove trade barriers preventing Canada from reaching its full potential under CETA. We are equally concerned with such obstacles being carried over to both a transitional deal and a future FTA between Canada and the UK. At the same time, any transitional agreement should not be the template for a future bilateral negotiation during which CAFTA would seek a more ambitious outcome for agri-food exporters and removal of technical barriers.
