Join the discussion: Public consultation on the origin quota for vehicles exported to the European Union under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)

In keeping with Global Affairs Canada’s policy, the Government of Canada is seeking input from Canadians from June 17 to July 12 on the administration of the origin quota for vehicles exported to the European Union (EU) under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).

We want to hear from you. We welcome your ideas, your views, and your priorities through these consultations.

Join in: How to participate

We want to hear from you

The input gathered through this consultation will inform the Government of Canada of industry stakeholder interests regarding the existing administration policy, and possible changes that Global Affairs Canada is considering as a result of the consistent decrease in usage of the origin quota since its creation in 2017. Any changes to the administration policy of the origin quota for vehicles exported to the EU under the CETA will take effect for the quota year beginning January 1, 2025.

Who should participate?

The department would like to hear from all stakeholders with an interest in this matter, including:

• the Canadian public;
• exporters of light passenger vehicles;
• academic and experts;
• indigenous groups;
• national and provincial industry associations;
• small, medium and large enterprises;
• national, provincial, territorial and regional associations;
• provincial and territorial governments;
• international trading partners.
