\"\"Status: Ratified 23 May 2019<\/h4>\n

CETA was ratified by a coalition government led by the Austrian People\u2019s Party (\u00d6VP), which included the Freedom Party of Austria (FP\u00d6) as junior coalition partner. Both legislative chambers<\/a> (i.e., State Council\/Nationalrat and Federal Council\/Bundesrat) had to give approval for CETA to be ratified. The FP\u00d6 had originally opposed CETA in 2017, however, in the coalition agreement with the \u00d6VP, the FP\u00d6 agreed to support ratification. The Nationalrat and Bundesrat both voted to ratify CETA in June 2018, with formal notification of ratification in May 2019.<\/p>\n

The Greens and the New Austria Party (NEOS) opposed CETA primarily because of the investor-state dispute settlement provisions. Public contestation in Austria was intensive, with opponents also arguing that CETA has a lack of transparency as well as negative effects on environmental protection, labour rights and sustainable development. Opposition groups argued that CETA’s ratification would result in regulatory chill and constrain the government’s ability to regulate in the public interest. CSOs opposed to CETA included trade unions, environmental groups and consumer advocacy organizations, including for instance FIAN \u00d6sterreich, GLOBAL 2000 \u2013 Friends of the Earth, and the Austrian Trade Union Federation.<\/p>\n

Trade data<\/h4>\n

Austria had a trade surplus in goods trade with Canada of \u20ac1.14 billion in 2021 (Eurostat<\/a>). Moreover, imports from Canada were \u20ac310 million, which is 0.7% of Austria’s imports from outside the EU. Exports to Canada were \u20ac1.45 billion, 2.7% of Austria’s in extra-EU exports (Eurostat<\/a>). Canada-Austria bilateral goods trade (imports + exports) grew by \u20ac379 million, or 28.2%, between 2016-2019 (Statistics Canada<\/a>).<\/p>\n
