How the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement Affects the Canadian Translation Industry

The new 2017 Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) will make significant impacts on all aspects of the Canadian economy.   The Government of Canada even stated that the CETA is more ambitious and broader in scope than the historic North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The deal will benefit people and businesses across Europe and Canada, and help to generate economic growth and create jobs by boosting exports, lowering the cost of the inputs businesses need to make their products, and offering greater choice for consumers.Indeed, this means increased business opportunities and a now a level playing-field between Canadian and European businesses—specifically, smaller EU companies with up 250 employees, which account for 99% of all European companies.How does CETA affect your translation needs?One of the main benefits for EU companies is CETA’s offer to improve conditions for business dealings with the EU more than any other nation.
