The Canada-EU trade agreement is a big win for workers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic
February 12, 2014 - Toronto, Ontario - Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada
Erin O’Toole, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade, today participated in an event with more than 20 European ambassadors to Canada, including Marie-Anne Coninsx, Ambassador of the European Union to Canada, to discuss the significance of the Canada-EU trade agreement and its major benefits to both economies.
The agreement-in-principle with the European Union—announced by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and European Commission President José Manuel Barroso last October—is a historic win for Canada. It will generate substantial gains across all key economic sectors, covering every region of Canada.
“The Canada-European Union trade agreement is a big win for workers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic. Providing new opportunities, opening markets and removing trade barriers to create jobs is our priority.”
