Making Sense of the CETA
An analysis of the final text of the Canada–European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement
This report demonstrates in detail how the Comprehensive Economic and
Trade Agreement (CETA) deal is unbalanced, favouring large multinational
corporations at the expense of consumers, the environment, and the
greater public interest.
This
international study, involving experts from Canada and the EU, is the
first independent analysis of the completed CETA text, which was leaked
in August 2014. It analyzes some of the CETA’s most controversial
chapters as exposed by a series of leaks in August. They include
assessments of the agreement’s impacts on intellectual property rights
for pharmaceutical products; investment protection, investor-state
dispute settlement and financial services regulation; infrastructure
procurement and buy-local food policies; public services, and many other
areas.
