CETA works. CETA delivers. It's as simple as that. 🇨🇦🤝🏻🇪🇺

President von der Leyen is currently in Canada to meet Prime Minister Trudeau and discuss the ongoing success of the agreement.

Since CETA’s provisional application, trade has increased by an impressive 66%, totalling €77 billion.

CETA is an outstanding achievement, delivering on its promises and driving progress for both partners.

🇪🇺🌹🇰🇪 We have a deal.

The EU and Kenya closed a very ambitious trade agreement with strong trade and sustainability commitments.

It will bring our regions closer, and unlock new areas of cooperation and mutual benefit for our workers, businesses and traders.

We now look forward to quick ratification so we can make this deepened cooperation a reality.
