Canadians revolt against EU trade deal as businesses unearth true cost

Express: CANADIAN industries have threatened to take action against the European Union, after Brussels was accused of "not respecting" the terms laid out in the £50billion trade deal.

Canada has put Brussels on alert, amid concern in the EU that Canada could take action against its prized trade deal. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the EU and Canada has long been held up as one of the big victories of the European bloc. However, just days before Britain formally quits the EU, Canadian industries have sparked alarm among European businesses.

Canada has accused the EU of “not respecting” the terms laid out in CETA, and of blocking Canadian exports to Europe.

While Europe has seen a huge boost in trade, Canadian agri-business exports to Europe have seen an astonishing 10 percent drop.
