At the present moment, the CETA (Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement) or AECG (Accord économique et commercial global) is now in provisional application throughout the territory of the EU and Canada since September 21st, 2018 and has already been ratified by Spain. This fact rises a spate of challenges and opportunities that are still slight known by the entrepreneurial actors and the public authorities, as well as by academia and society in general. This seminar aims to present and debate the most outstanding traits of CETA by the hand of experts and professionals from the sector.
