Last Monday 24 July 2017, a new technical meeting between delegations of MERCOSUR and Canada was held at the Palacio San Martín with a view to resuming talks on a potential trade agreement.
At the meeting, the participants addressed the main positions on the potential topics and chapters of the agreement: trade in goods and services, treatment of non-tariff barriers (technical barriers to trade, sanitary and phytosanitary measures), and investments, among others.
These talks were the continuation of the talks held last April also in Buenos Aires under the Presidency Pro Tempore of Argentina. It is expected that these talks progress and that the negotiation of a trade agreement between MERCOSUR and Canada starts promptly.
