CETA

CETA, or the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, is a trade deal between Canada and the European Union (EU) and its member states. Signed in 2016, it aims to reduce trade barriers, such as tariffs, to promote easier trade and investment. CETA is designed to enhance economic cooperation, boost economic growth, and create jobs by making it simpler for businesses to operate across borders. It also includes provisions on environmental protection, labor rights, and sustainable development, ensuring that trade benefits are balanced with social and ecological considerations.
