The main political party in opposition are the Greens. CSOs opposed to CETA include environmentalists and trade unions. Contention surrounds transparency, environmental protection and sustainable development, the investor-state dispute settlement provisions, and labour rights. Opponents to CETA argue that the investor-state dispute settlement system will inhibit the government\u2019s flexibility on environmental regulation and labour rights, creating downward pressure on standards. Opponent CSOs include Towards Sustainability Association, Civilek Mecsek\u00e9rt Mozgalom and the Magyar Antifasiszta Liga.<\/p>\n<h4>Trade data<\/h4>\n<p>Hungary had a trade surplus in goods trade with Canada of \u20ac174 million in 2021 (<a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/eurostat\/statistics-explained\/index.php?title=Canada-EU_-_international_trade_in_goods_statistics#Trade_with_Canada_by_Member_State\">Eurostat<\/a>).
