Third EU-Canada (CETA) Civil Society Forum

Representatives from, among others, employers, unions, labour and business organisations, environmental groups, and other relevant civil society organisations are invited to a meeting on the 8th and 9th of December 2020, of the Civil Society Forum, established under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).

Participants will have the chance to exchange with one another, and with officials from the European Commission and from the Government of Canada, on matters related to the implementation of CETA's Chapter 22 (Trade and Sustainable Development), Chapter 23 (Trade and Labour) and Chapter 24 (Trade and Environment).

As result of the challenges posed by COVID-19, including physical distancing, the Trade and Sustainable Development Committee will be unable to facilitate a longer, in-person program and we appreciate your patience and understanding. Details regarding the agenda and registration are here below.
