Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek and Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso announced on May 6, 2009 the opening of negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement between the EU and Canada.

This is so much more than just a Free Trade Agreement and puts Canada and the EU on a path for the most comprehensive economic relationship Canada has with a country outside of the NAFTA

EUCOCIT will be leading the way to explain how this will influence Canadian business to this vital market.
