Respecting EU regulations - the implementation of free trade agreements

Question for written answer  E-003487/2019
to the Commission
Rule 138

The free trade agreement between the EU and Canada is currently functioning on a provisional basis. The agreement provides for the liberalisation of the trading of goods and a chapter on regulatory cooperation.

In June 2019, an order for high pressure systems was won by a Canadian-owned company based in Poland. However, the Canadian products connected to this order and entering the internal market do not comply with Directive 2014/68/EU on pressure equipment.

This creates unfair competition for EU companies that had also responded to the call for tenders and calls respect for EU regulations into question.
