American members views on CETA

[Mortblanc]

Very interesting to consider the fact that Canada is already a NAFTA member and has free trade with the U.S. and now the EU.

I will just about guarantee that there are clauses in one or the other of the agreements that contradict the other.

I am also amazed that it took 7 years to work out the agreement, but it was a full consensus thing and every member of the EU had to agree.

I can not really see a benefit for Canada unless there were some trade restrictions that were about to go into place on the agricultural products to stop exportation to the EU.
