AIDA CCI informs that the European Commission is organising an online info session aimed at SMEs, with the objective of providing vital information and sharing practical experiences regarding the Canadian market. The event takes place on 26 March.

Opportunities within the CETA Agreement

The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the European Union and Canada has unlocked a vast array of new trade opportunities for European SMEs. Key benefits include the elimination of customs duties, facilitation of market access, and a significant reduction in technical barriers to trade.

In this competitive landscape, it is essential for our SMEs to know the real conditions for accessing the Canadian market, fully understand customs procedures, identify the most promising sectors, and know how to benefit from the support mechanisms available in both the European Union and Canada.
