The recent implementation of the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is stimulating increased interest in doing business in the European Union (EU). CETA will improve access to the largest market in the world, but the EU is also a diverse and complex market and Atlantic exporters need to understand how to succeed in the EU.

These pages summarize some recent Atlantic Provinces Economic Council (APEC)  research on the EU, focusing primarily on the opportunities for Atlantic manufacturers. With over 20% of world GDP, the EU is the biggest integrated market in the world.

On this site you will find:
