Fisheries committee  It's like a negotiation issue versus an enforcement issue.

Fisheries committee  I was not personally involved in the CETA negotiations. But personally, I would say that because that was a negotiation, it would have been off topic, in that the subject really was the enforcement of the EU's existing obligations under the WTO that have been there for many years

Fisheries committee  Absolutely the tariff negotiations, by definition, have to deal with individual products. Again, we're talking about the establishment of commitments in a new treaty for wheat or pork or whatever product, as compared to an action—a law, a regulation, a decision—that violates an e

Fisheries committee  There are some eastern European markets, outside of the EU. I have seen Turkey as a market for a small amount. All of the amounts, relatively speaking now, are small relative to what they were. There is China, to some degree, and Turkey. There are not that many.

It's not su

Fisheries committee  I don't have any information that indicates that our fish and seafood exports have been compromised as a result of this.

Fisheries committee  What I can tell you about the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement is that it will provide us with unambiguously better access to the EU market, as a result of the elimination of tariffs on a very wide range of products, in fairly short order—if not immediately, then over t

Fisheries committee  Sorry to take up some of your time getting the answer, but the answer to your question is that in both cases, these are three-member bodies, both the panel and the appellate body. They are drawn from WTO-member countries. In the panel itself, the members were from Switzerland, Si

Fisheries committee  Those are Canadian export figures. I don't have any information on Canada's domestic market for such products. Those numbers were strictly related to the exports. But certainly you're right. Our understanding is that the supply chain and the processing and distribution and othe
