Canada-EU CETA Civil Society Forum Call for participation (2024)
Canada-EU Civil Society Forum under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)
Representatives from employers, unions, labour and business organizations, environmental groups, Indigenous organizations, and other interested civil society organizations are welcome to register for the meeting on the 18 and 19 of March 2024, of the Civil Society Forum on Trade and Sustainable Development established under the Canada-European Union (EU) Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
Participants will have the chance to exchange with one another, and with officials of the Government of Canada and the European Commission virtually and in person, 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 well as the CETA recommendations on Trade and Gender, SMEs and Trade, Climate Action and the Paris Agreement.
The Trade and Sustainable Development Committee will be implementing a hybrid conference with both virtual and in-person participation. Canada and the European Union remain committed to this dialogue, acknowledging the important opportunity for civil society to better understand what Canada and the EU are doing to implement the labour, environment and sustainable development provisions of CETA, and to provide their perspectives on these issues.
