For nearly ten years, Europeans have been benefiting from the economic fallout of CETA, the trade agreement between the European Union and Canada

The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is hosting European leaders to strengthen ties, while nine capitals have yet to ratify the CETA trade agreement. Despite being approved by the European Parliament in 2017, countries like Italy, Poland, and France have delayed ratification. The CETA, or Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, has been provisionally in effect since 2017, but some investment provisions remain pending due to national jurisdiction.
