The Market Access Support Program for EU Businesses in Canada in the CETA Context is an EU-Canada business facilitation project funded by the European Union. The CETA Market Access Program for EU Businesses was launched in January 2017 by the EU with the threefold objectives to:

1. Help EU business, and particularly small and medium sized enterprises, to gain comprehensive, sector-specific information about the new opportunities that CETA will bring.

2. Identify existing market access barriers in Canada on both federal and provincial levels, and to provide recommendations to the EU Institutions, EU business associations, networks and chambers for defining adequate mitigating strategies.

3. Create a sustainable channel of communication between EU businesses in or seeking to enter Canada and institutional stakeholders.
