Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Carolyn Harris (Labour), on Wednesday, 8 June 2016, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 79 members in total.


EU-CANADA COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC AND TRADE AGREEMENT

That this House is concerned about the lack of parliamentary and public debate around the EU-Canada trade agreement CETA, most especially that CETA may be provisionally implemented before a debate in the House; recognises that it has still not been confirmed whether CETA is a mixed or sole competence agreement, that the EU Council in June is the last opportunity for EU governments to raise concerns about CETA and that concerns are being raised in parliaments throughout Europe on this question; and calls on the Prime Minister to oppose provisional implementation at the EU Council in June, if necessary by opposing the whole deal unless a ratification vote is guaranteed in the House before any implementation takes place.
