CETA was ratified by the Assembly in September 2017 with formal notification of ratification in January 2018. Ratification was steered by a minority government led by the Socialist Party and backed by the Social Democratic Party and Popular Party.<\/p>\n<h4>Public debate<\/h4>\n<p>Contestation on CETA\u2019s ratification was limited in Portugal. Opponent political parties, including the Communist Party, argued CETA would undermine sovereignty and empowered multinational corporations to the detriment of the state and society. Opposing CSOs argued that CETA lacked transparency and would erode environmental protections, labour rights and sustainable development targets through the implementation of the investor-state dispute settlement provisions. CSOs opposed to CETA include FENPROF, ANSOL, GAIA and Plataforma N\u00e3o ao Tratado Transatl\u00e2ntico.<\/p>\n<h4>Trade data<\/h4>\n<p>Portugal had a trade surplus in goods trade with Canada of \u20ac172 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>).
