Tilson meets with new European Union ambassador Dufferin-Caledon MP David Tilson recently met with European Union Ambassador to Canada Marie-Anne Coninsx. Dufferin-Caledon MP David Tilson recently met with Marie-Anne Coninsx, the new Ambassador of the European Union to Canada, to discuss matters of mutual interest to both Canada and EU, such as the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). “As President of the Canada-Europe Parliamentary Association, I was pleased to meet with Her Excellency as she begins her term as the European Union's Ambassador to Canada,” Tilson said. “Relations with our colleagues in the EU are particularly important with the recent signing of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement.” While CETA provides access to the European market for thousands of Canadian businesses, there remain a number of issues under discussion, including the EU's ban on seal products, as well as their pursuit of the so-called fuel quality directive which could impact the oil sands in Canada. “Constructive dialog is a hallmark of the strong relationship between Canada and the European Union,” Tilson commented. “I look forward to working with Ambassador Coninsx in the coming months as we seek to further improve the relationship between Canada and our colleagues in the EU.” |
