What this bill does

In plain terms: what it changes and who it affects.

The EU would conclude CETA, a trade and investment agreement with Canada that lowers barriers and opens markets for goods, services, and public procurement.

Who it affects

European exporters, service providers, and investors trading with Canada, especially firms seeking easier market access and public contracts. Canadian importers and suppliers selling into the EU are also affected, but EU product rules remain unchanged.

Core of the proposal
  • Removes or reduces trade barriers on goods, services, and investment.
  • Provides rules on customs, technical barriers, sanitary measures, subsidies, and dispute settlement.
  • Opens wider access to public procurement markets in the EU and Canada.
  • Creates a Joint Committee to oversee implementation and approve certain updates.
