Interesting webinar.
Paragraph 2 of Article 7 of CETA’s RoO protocol states:
“In accordance with Article 3, all production carried out in the European Union and in Canada on a product is considered when determining whether the production undertaken on that product is insufficient within the meaning of paragraph 1.”
The otherwise identical “Insufficient production” article (ORIG.7) in the RoO chapter of the TCA omits the above paragraph.
Why do we think that is the case?
