National Chamber of Commerce supports CETA

Polish entrepreneurs should make as much use as possible of opportunities offered by international trade and investment flows, which is why the National Chamber of Commerce (KIG) supports the CETA free trade agreement between the EU and Canada, KIG said on Thursday in a press release.

“Don't be afraid of CETA,” the Chamber stressed. In its assessment, the signing of the agreement can bring tangible benefits to the Polish economy. “It provides an opportunity to improve conditions for cooperation between Polish and Canadian firms and to develop exports. Increased presence on the Canadian market can also be used as a bridge to introduce our goods to the US market,” KIG stated.

KIG pointed out that the agreement will lead to the simplification of export procedures and mutual recognition of certificates. There will also be greater interest in the Polish market among Canadian investors.

Last week, parliament adopted a resolution on CETA. The trade pact has stirred up a lot of controversy in Poland and across Europe. On Saturday, anti-CETA speeches and demonstrations are planned in Warsaw and other Polish cities.
