This paper examines the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the EU, focusing specifically on its economic benefits and the investor protection mechanism it contains. According to the text’s author, CETA’s removal of tariffs on virtually all goods (with the exception of certain agricultural products) and its introduction of new intellectual property rights and product testing regulations will benefit Canadian businesses. Further, given its well-balanced investor protection provision, the author thinks that CETA should serve as a model for future trade liberalization agreements.
