The European Parliament approved the CETA on 15 February 2017 and Canada ratified it on 16 May 2017. National parliaments in the EU must ratify the CETA before it can take full effect (European Commission, 2017). The CETA should result in expanded transatlantic trade, including of value-added forest products (GAC, 2016). The two parties agreed on 25 May 2017 to set up a joint delegation to increase trade cooperation, including consideration ofthe future of the TTIP (EURACTIV, 2017), but no subsequent activities have been reported.
