jobs jobs and strengthen economic relations. It also bridges the gap between Canadian agri-
food companies and the EU’s 510 million consumers by giving significant benefits to
Canadian exporters (AAFC, 2018). Canadian agri-food companies gain many benefits over
competitors still facing EU tariff. CETA also create new markets in EU for Canadian
companies and products. AAFC (2018) stated, CETA leads to removal of 94% of the EU
agricultural and 96% of its fish and sea food import tariffs. The European Union (EU) is
Canada's fourth largest agri-food export destination, with over $3.5 billion in exports in 2016.
Canada exports more food products to EU market such as wines, spirits, soft drinks,
wines and spirits, soft drinks, chocolate, biscuits, confectionery, cereals-based products,
pasta, fruit and edible preparations. According to EUCCAN (2018) “143 highly distinctive
European food and beverage products that hold a geographical indication (GI), such as Greek
Kalamata olives, Austrian Tiroler Speck and Dutch Gouda cheese are now officially
CETA will increase Canadian exports up to $1.5 billion yearly which include $600
million in beef, $400 million in pork, $100 million in grains and oilseeds, $100 million in
sugar-containing products, and a further $300 million in processed foods, fruits and
vegetables, according to CAFTA (2018). According to Greenham (2019), due CETA lobster
export has been increased in 2018 compare to 2017. Canada has exported 345% increase in
August 2017, Hungary imported 0 kg of Canadian lobster (approx.) Even new fishery
products has been exported to EU after CETA came into existence such as redfish. The EU
agreed to eliminate 95.5% of its tariffs on these products upon entry into force of CETA and
(TRQs). In order to ensure that this existing market access will not decline prior to the full
elimination of the relevant tariffs in CETA, the EU will offer two transitional duty free tariff
rate quotas (TRQs), one of 23,000 tonnes for processed shrimps and the other of 1,000 tonnes
for frozen cod (European Comission, 2016). Canada is now open for the EU a new bilateral
quota of 17,700 tonnes of cheese, 16,000 tonnes of which are for high quality cheeses and
1,700 tonnes for industrial cheese. Moreover, 800 tonnes of high quality cheese will be added
through a technical adjustment to the EU portion of an existing WTO TRQ. But Canada's
plan to give 60 per cent of this quota to its domestic dairy industry, to compensate for market
share it's about to lose, didn't go over well in Europe. In negotiation with EU Canada agreed
to give only one third of imports to new entrants in next five year.
