Ratification in Romania started relatively quickly with the Chamber of Deputies ratifying in December 2017, however, the Senate did not ratify CETA until October 2020, with formal notification of ratification in December 2020. Ratification occurred across two different governments, led by the Social Democratic Party (until 2019) and the National Liberal Party (after 2019). Both governments supported CETA\u2019s ratification.<\/p>\n<h4>Public debate<\/h4>\n<p>Contestation was limited in Romania. Initially, it focused on Canada\u2019s visa requirements for Romanian citizens; as a result the Romanian government opposed CETA. Canada eventually lifted the visa restrictions in early 2017. CSOs opposed to CETA\u2019s ratification included trade unions, environmental groups and consumer advocacy associations, such as ActiveWatch, the Federation of Independent Trade Unions in Education and Greentourism Ecologic Association.<\/p>\n<h4>Trade data<\/h4>\n<p>Romania had a trade surplus in goods trade with Canada of \u20ac169 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>). Moreover, imports from Canada were \u20ac91 million, 0.3% of Romania&#8217;s imports from outside the EU. Exports to Canada were \u20ac260 million, 1.3% of Romania&#8217;s extra-EU exports (<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>).
