The Comprehensive Trade and Economic Agreement (CETA) is a freshly negotiated EU-Canada treaty. Once applied, it will offer EU firms more and better business opportunities in Canada and support jobs in Europe. CETA will tackle a whole range of issues to make business with Canada easier. It will remove customs duties, end limitations in access to public contracts, open-up the services' market, offer predictable conditions for investors and, last but not least, help prevent illegal copying of EU innovations and traditional products. In the context of these political negotiations to improve and strengthen trade relations between the EU and Canada, the Enterprise Europe Network at Cork Chamber will be hosting an event on Business Opportunities in Canada on Thursday 13th November in the River Lee Hotel, Cork. Suzanne Cormie, Deputy Head of Mission and Senior Trade Commissioner Canadian Embassy Dublin will talk about “Doing Business in Canada”. Suzanne will be accompanied by Cameron Branston, Trade Commissioner for the Government of Alberta, who will present on the general Alberta business landscape, the inventory of major projects in the province of Alberta, opportunities within the Oil & Gas Sector and further opportunities that will result from the Comprehensive Trade and Economic Agreement (CETA).
