Canadian Trade Minister David Emerson urged European Trade Relationships

Speaking before a conference on transatlantic trade, Trade Minister David Emerson urged the development of trade relationships between Canada and Europe.

In his speech on Thursday, Emerson said Europeans were missing out on a great opportunity by not moving aggressively to strengthen economic ties with Canada.

Emerson suggested that the future development of Canada’s natural resources should be a powerful incentive for European trade agreements.

Both Canada and Europe are democratic, affluent and have few impediments surrounding issues of labor and environmental standards, Emerson said, urging they should work toward a free trade agreement.
