The Great Recession and the turn towards all forms of protectionism stress the relevance of international trade policy. With the global economy undergoing deep structural changes, the negotiations between Canada and the EU on a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) present a real-time experiment that sheds light on the direction that the relationships between two economic units of the G8 will take. For Canada, an agreement with the EU would end its current dependency on the US; for the EU, an agreement with Canada would be a first with a G8-economy and indicate how its new trade strategy ‘Global Europe’ will look like. This book is the first to simultaneously analyze the undercurrents of this project and introduce the main topics at hand. CETA is much more than a simple free trade agreement, its breadth covers regulatory aspects in goods, services, and finance; the opening of public procurement markets; attitudes and policies of Canadian provinces towards liberalization; climate policies and international leadership claims of the EU in comparison to Canadian policy attempts; the challenges of the Euro project and the reform efforts; and the challenges of the Euro as a international reserve currency. CETA is a challenging project that will kick-start enormous changes in trade policy-making as well as in market openness in Canada. It will mark the EU’s efforts to re-make the Atlantic Economy. This book provides deep insights into the ambiguity of the project and addresses the implications of a rapidly changing global economy for trade policy. Offering analysis of the financial industry, banking, trade policy, climate change strategy, and the Euro exchange rate, this book should be of interest to students and policy-makers alike.

The Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) between the EU and Canada, on which negotiations were concluded at the EU-Canada Summit in Ottawa on 26 September 2014, will be a 'first' in many areas. The agreement will be the EU's first with another highly industrialised country to facilitate market access for goods, services and investment by abolishing almost all tariffs and reducing a wide array of non-tariff barriers. CETA is also the first agreement to have been negotiated with a sound chapter on investment protection, (including Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) provisions) {OCLCbr#D0}– an area that is, since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, an EU competence. The EU and Canada have agreed to improve regulatory cooperation without compromising existing safety standards, and CETA includes protection for more than 145 food products with geographical indications (GIs). The agreement preserves the governments' right to regulate in the public interest. The European Parliament will be asked to give its consent to this agreement and to the parallel Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) {OCLCbr#D0}– a process that is likely to take two years. This will give the Parliament sufficient time to weigh potential public concerns {OCLCbr#D0}– which today are focussed principally on trade and investment negotiations with the US, but may spill over onto this agreement with Canada.

"The aim of this book is to help Canada’s and Europe’s business community get a better understanding of what is new in CETA, how it is different from traditional trade agreements, and how it is bound to benefit the Canadian and European economies. We describe how today’s firms operate in a new trade reality where global value chains and service trade are omnipresent. We show how the agreement reflects this new reality in its comprehensive nature compared to other recent free trade agreements, providing a long-awaited effectiveness in addressing so-called “behind the border” barriers. Attention to the pharmaceutical, food, automotive, maritime and telecommunications industries, which have been specifically targeted by the Treaty. The combination of our economic and legal analysis provides business leaders the opportunity to deepen both their understanding why the accord matters economically and how the legal measures will affect their specific businesses. We also discuss how CETA will play a key role (after more than two years of provisional application) in the economic recovery post-COVID-19. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between the European Union and Canada: Economic Perspectives and Legal Analysis is a timely publication that providers readers an easy-to-understand overview of the key changes that CETA has introduced."-- Page 4 de la couverture.

This paper argues that there are significant potential economic gains to be obtained from an EU-Canada Free Trade Agreement. The evolution of trade between the US and Canada following the signing of CUSFTA in 1989 offers a good illustration of how trade might increase after an EU-Canada FTA, as the patterns and levels of protection between the EU and Canada today are very similar to the protection that existed between the US and Canada in 1989. Although many empirical studies fail to find support for 'trade diversion' created by NAFTA (or CUSFTA) at the expense of the EU and to the benefit of the US, there is some evidence of trade diversion when detailed regional trade is examined. If indeed trade diversion has occurred due to NAFTA, then an EU-Canada FTA is welfare-enhancing for Canada. For the EU, a potential FTA can level the playing field with the US and increase the competitiveness of European firms in the Canadian market.
