Ratification tracker: Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the EU<\/h2>\n

The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union was officially signed during the Canada-EU summit in October 2016. On September 21, 2017, CETA entered into provisional application\u00a0in Canada and the EU. As a mixed trade agreement, CETA must be ratified by all EU member states before it will fully come into force.<\/p>\n

As of August 2024, 17 member states have completed the domestic ratification: Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, and Sweden.(The United Kingdom, which has left the EU, also ratified CETA while it was still a member state.) Member states that have not ratified CETA include the following: Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Poland, and Slovenia.<\/p>\n

Public contestation about CETA<\/h3>\n

Contestation surrounding the ratification of CETA in EU member states has ranged from very limited to highly intensive. Opposition to CETA has focused on the following aspects: the proposed system of investor-state dispute settlement (through a CETA tribunal); the agreement\u2019s impact on national sovereignty, agricultural and commercial interests; food safety; consumer and worker rights; public services; as well as the environment and sustainable development. Please click here<\/a> for a more detailed explanation of these concerns.<\/p>\n

Canada-EU trade performance<\/h3>\n

Trade in goods and services between Canada and the EU has grown since CETA entered into provisional application . There was a COVID-19 related decline in 2020, but recovery in 2021 and further expansion is projected in 2022. Bilateral trade in 2020 was still 12.5% higher than pre-CETA in 2016 (Global Affairs Canada<\/a>). Moreover, preference utilization rates that measure the extent to which tariff preferences provided by the agreement are being used by importers and exporters have continued to increase.
