Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)
The European Union (EU) is one of the largest economies in the world and Canada’s second-largest trading partner. The Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) presents Canadian businesses with preferential access to and excellent opportunities for growth in the EU. September 21, 2023 marked the sixth anniversary of CETA’s provisional application. The Agreement will come into full effect when all EU Member States have completed the ratification process.
