The Riksdag ratified CETA in March 2018, with formal notification of ratification in October 2018. The ratification process in Sweden was steered by a minority government, led by Stefan L\u00f6fven\u2019s Social Democrats, but with the support of centre-right Alliance and Moderate Party.<\/p>\n<h4>Public debate<\/h4>\n<p>Contestation on CETA\u2019s ratification was limited in Sweden. Proponents of CETA included Business Sweden, a trade and investment council that highlighted the new commerce opportunities CETA would provide for small and medium-size enterprises. Opponents of CETA\u2019s ratification in Sweden focused on the investor-state dispute settlement provisions, regulatory standards and the effect of procurement competition on public services. CSOs opposed to CETA included Skiftet, Friends of the Earth and FIAN Sweden.<\/p>\n<h4>Trade data<\/h4>\n<p>Sweden had a trade surplus in goods trade with Canada of \u20ac542 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>).
