\"\"Status: Ratified 9 November 2017<\/h4>\n

Croatia has a unicameral system. The Sabor (Parliament) gave approval for ratification in June 2017. Croatia formally notified the EU of ratification in November 2017. A coalition government led by the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) under Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 ratified CETA with the support of the Croatian Social Liberal Party, the Croatian Democratic Christian Party and the Croatian Democratic Alliance of Slavonia and Baranja.<\/p>\n

Public debate<\/h4>\n

The CETA ratification process in Croatia was characterized by limited contestation, with broad political support and support from industry associations. Contestation derived largely from the political left and green parties, as well as some CSOs. Proponents of CETA argued that the mixed trade agreement was an “advanced” trade agreement with environmental and sustainable development provisions and recognition of geographical indicators. Croatian businesses also indicated an interest in the Canadian federal and provincial procurement market. Opponents of CETA in Croatia argued against the investor-state dispute settlement provisions, described as a parallel justice system and a catalyst for regulatory chill. Opponents also voiced concerns over GMOs and food safety. Proponent CSOs included the Canadian-Croatian Business Network, the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Trades and Crafts. Opponent CSOs included the Croatian Independent Trade Unions and Green Action.<\/p>\n

Trade data<\/h4>\n

Croatia had a trade surplus in goods trade with Canada of \u20ac40 million in 2021 (Eurostat<\/a>). Moreover, imports from Canada were \u20ac16 million, which is 0.2% of Croatia’s imports from outside the EU. Exports to Canada were \u20ac56 million, 0.9% of Croatia’s extra-EU exports (Eurostat<\/a>). Canada-Croatia bilateral goods trade (imports + exports) grew by 18 million, or 36%, between 2016-2019 (Statistics Canada<\/a>).<\/p>\n
