Dear MAAC Members and Participants,

The EU-Canada Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement (‘CETA’) brought a wealth of opportunities for our European SMEs. 

Now more than ever it is key that our SMEs find out about how to trade with Canada and get a boost to do so. We are organising an online SME roundtable on 26 March (15h-17h) to provide SMEs with hands-on information and experience on how to trade with Canada. 

Please disseminate this event to your member-SMEs and encourage them to register here: EU-Canada CETA SME Roundtable | Access2Markets

Agenda of the SME Roundtable

1.      Introduction& welcome 

2.      Testimonials by SMEs that already trade with/in Canada

3.      Existing support for trading with Canada:

b.      In Canada: International Network Partners (EEN): how the Canadian market works in practice, practical advice, and contacts for further support

4.      How to navigate the customs requirements: hands-on examples 

5.      Wrapping-up: outlining the existing online tools to support SMEs and Q&A on EU-Canada trade
