ECIPE & CERT Seminar: Is CETA a Good Model for a Future EU-UK Trade Agreement After Brexit?

April 05 2017
Venue: ECIPE Office, Avenue des Arts 40, 6th floor, 1040 Brussels
Speakers: Jim Rollo, Jason Langrish, Hanna Deringer, Fredrik Erixon
Time: 10:30

The seminar will discuss what a post-Brexit trade agreement between the EU and UK could and should look like.

Today is the day Theresa May triggers Article 50. This day marks the beginning of a divorce process without precedence in the history of the EU. Contrary to other policy areas trade policy is an area where the EU has a longstanding negotiating experience and different model agreements to revert to. One agreement which could serve as a model agreement for a post-Brexit trade agreement between the EU-27 and the UK is CETA, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between the EU and Canada. CETA is the latest and most comprehensive trade agreement signed between the EU and a large, highly-developed economy.

But is CETA really a good model for a future EU-UK trade agreement? Would a CETA-type agreement be suitable for the interests and priorities of the EU-27 and UK? Is CETA an agreement which is deep enough to minimize negative economic impacts on the EU-27 and UK economies? What are lessons learned from the negotiation and conclusion of CETA?

The seminar will be co-hosted by the Canada Europe Roundtable for Business (CERT) and ECIPE.
