CETA Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement

comprehensive economic and trade agreement: In a quiet fashion, Canada and Europe are negotiating a comprehensive economic and trade agreement, or CETA, which goes far beyond conventional free trade, according to The Chronicle Herald. Supporters argue this would improve economic prospects on both sides of the Atlantic. They cite the benefits to efficiency and economic performance from free trade beyond national borders, with Canada gaining access to the vast European Union EU market and This ambitious deal would liberalize trade in goods and services, virtual goods and procurement. It would harmonize professional qualifications, regulations and intellectual property protections and eliminate most performance requirements for investments. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
