Canada Trade Relations
The EU and Canada enjoy a long-standing bilateral trading relationship. The EU is Canada's second largest trading partner (after the US), with two-way trade exceeding £26 billion in 2001. Our counterparts in Canada are in the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT).
The desire to deepen and broaden trade relations between the EU and Canada led to the agreement of an EU Canada Action Plan and to the development of the EU-Canada Trade Initiative (ECTI). ECTI is intended to build upon the bilateral and multilateral trading relationships between the EU and Canada. Business communities in the EU and Canada launched the Canada Europe Round Table (CERT) involving a number of major EU and Canadian companies to offer advice on trade and investment issues. Development of ECTI and CERT remains on going.
