A Waiver for Europe? CETA's Trade in Services, and Investment Protection Provisions and Their Legal-Political Implications on Regulatory Competence

Amalie Giødesen Thystrup, Günes Ünüvar

Abstract

The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is a bilateral agreement between Canada and the EU that aims at providing a broad set of incentives in order to promote trade and business, and bears important legal and political consequences for trade and foreign investment policies of the parties. This paper aims at exploring CETA's trade in services, and investment provisions on fair and equitable treatment and indirect expropriation. In the section on cross border services, the paper discusses the scheduling modality and the adjustments introduced, with a view to the parties’ regulatory competencies. In the section on investment provisions, it delves further into whether or not it bears the potential to live up to parties’ promises of further clarity, coherence, addressing public expectations relating to unhindered sovereign regulatory authority.
