\"\"Status: Ratified 1 June 2017<\/h4>\n

Denmark has a unicameral system. The Folketinget (Parliament) gave its approval for CETA\u2019s ratification in June 2017. Ratification was led by Prime Minister, Lars L\u00f8kke Rasmussen, and his coalition government, made up of liberal and conservative parties (Venstre Party, Liberal Alliance, and the Conservative People\u2019s Party), and supported by by the Danish People\u2019s Party.<\/p>\n

Public debate<\/h4>\n

Denmark was one of the first EU member states to ratify CETA, with very limited contestation. Opposition to CETA stemmed from environmental, labour and trade unions. Opponents voiced concerns over GMOs (food safety), the investor-state dispute settlement provisions and CETA’s effect on environmental regulations. CSOs and NGOs opposed to CETA included Biodynamiske Forbrugere, European Work Hazards Network and the Danish Ecological Council. Proponents of CETA argued that the agreement with Canada would give Danish businesses better access to public procurement contracts and opportunities, and support investor rights.<\/p>\n

Trade data<\/h4>\n

Denmark had a trade surplus in goods trade with Canada of \u20ac592 million in 2021 (Eurostat<\/a>). Moreover, imports from Canada were \u20ac203 million, 0.6% of Denmark’s imports from outside the EU (Eurostat<\/a>). Exports were \u20ac795 million, 1.6% of Denmark’s extra-EU exports. Canada-Denmark bilateral goods trade (imports + exports) grew by \u20ac312 million, or 33%, between 2016-2019 (Statistics Canada<\/a>).<\/p>\n
