Canada and the EU have taken the Necessary Steps for Provisional Implementation of CETA

On September 7, 2017, the Canadian Governor-in-Council published in the Canada Gazette an Order-in-Council that effectively sets the date of the provisional implementation of the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (the “Canada-EU CETA”) to be September 21, 2017.  SI/2017–47 “Order fixing September 21, 2017 as the Day on which the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement Comes into Force” also states which provisions of the Canada-EU CETA will not be provisionally implemented.
