Policy Brief (December 2008) by Armand de Mestral, McGill University
In 2005, Canada-EU negotiations began again for a comprehensive bilateral Trade and Investment Enhancement Agreement (TIEA) which eventually led to a joint study on the benefits of an even more ambitious economic partnership released at their 2008 Summit in Quebec City. Based on the report’s positive assessment, the two sides aim to launch negotiations on economic integration in early 2009.
