Honda Canada Statement on the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union (CETA)

MARKHAM, ON, Oct. 21, 2013 /CNW/ - Honda Canada applauds Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his government for reaching an agreement in principle on a comprehensive trade agreement with the European Union. Honda Canada has long been a supporter of Canada's initiatives to participate in bilateral, multilateral and regional free trade agreements. Honda Canada is committed to working with the Government of Canada as the details of the agreement in principle are finalized.

With this important trade initiative progressing to completion, we also look forward to the swift conclusion of the Canada-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (CJEPA) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations. CJEPA and TPP would further cement the important trade and investment ties between Canada and its global trading partners, including Japan, creating jobs and new opportunities for Canadians in the process.
