Abstract

Canada’s trade relations with the UK have been governed by the CETA since the signature of that agreement with the EU in October 2016. Subsequent to the decision of the UK electorate to leave the EU, it became necessary to envisage the creation of a new trade agreement directly between the UK and Canada. Initially, the Government of Canada indicated a willingness to negotiate a new trade agreement with the UK as quickly as possible. But, as the future relationship of the UK to the EU became increasingly uncertain, the Government of Canada decided to hold back until greater clarity could be obtained. As of July 2020, Canada was still waiting. The future trade agreement will reflect the desire of both countries to maintain their long-standing and close relationship. Both have strong interests in trade and investment with the other and both will seek to reinforce these interests. The particular concerns of both countries are outlined in this paper and the outlines of a future trade agreement are set out. In conclusion, the author suggests that it would be in the interests of the UK, rather than seeking simply a bilateral agreement, to seek to negotiate an Atlantic Free Trade Agreement, thereby clarifying its relations not simply with Canada but with all of Europe and North America.

加拿大与英国之间的未来贸易关系

摘要

自2016年10月与欧盟签署该协议以来，加拿大与英国的贸易关系一直由CETA管辖。英国选民决定离开欧盟后，有必要考虑制定新的贸易协议。直接在英国和加拿大之间。最初，加拿大政府表示愿意与英国尽快谈判一项新的贸易协定。但是，随着英国与欧盟之间未来关系的不确定性越来越大，加拿大政府决定推迟直到获得更大的清晰度为止。截至2020年7月，加拿大仍在等待。未来的贸易协定将反映出两国保持长期和密切关系的愿望。双方都对彼此的贸易和投资具有浓厚的兴趣，都将寻求加强这些利益。本文概述了两国特别关注的问题，并列出了未来贸易协定的概述。最后，作者建议，寻求谈判《大西洋自由贸易协定》，而不是简单地寻求双边协定，这不仅符合英国的利益，而且不仅要澄清与加拿大的关系，而且要澄清与欧洲和北美洲的关系。美国。
