This commentary grapples with the two questions which most affected the 2016 Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) negotiations between Canada and the EU: 1) how can national regulations on safety, health and the environment be made consistent with each other, and 2) how should legal procedures to resolve disputes between foreign investors and national authorities be created. Taking these two questions into account, the text’s author then ponders the more fundamental question of how far we should push for globalization.
