>>The text, which is made public here is an horrible document including the negotiations between the European Commission and the government of Canada. What they call a “free trade agreement” is in truth a license for economic monopolies. Each text page is nearly incomprehensible. The first reviewer of the LQ was falling to sleep after “The Preamble” on page 6, the second while reading “Section 3: Non Discriminatory Treatment Article X.6: National Treatment” on page 156, the third falled down his head on page 161, and the fourth got the shits beginning to read the annex up page 521: “Canada tariff offer Canada’s Negative List Tariff Schedule Tariff Item Description Base Rate StagingCategory Note 01051122: Broilers for domestic production: Over access commitment 238% but not less than 30.8¢ each”.
