Welcome video message from the D-CA Chair
Je m'appelle Javier Moreno Sánchez et c'est pour moi un privilège et un honneur de présider la Délégation du Parlement européen pour les relations avec le Canada pour les cinq prochaines années.
Le Canada est un ami, un allié et un partenaire précieux de longue date de l'Union européenne. Comme je le dis souvent, les Canadiens sont les citoyens les plus européens hors de l'Europe.
We share common values such as democracy, rules of law, respect of human rights and gender equality. We stand firm in our support for the rules-based international order and are ready to defend it at this moment of geopolitical instability.
The EU-Canada Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement and Strategic Partnership Agreement provide a framework for a further deepening of our policy dialogue, cooperation and convergence on issues of common concern. Through parliamentary democracy we will work with the Member States that have not yet ratified the Agreement to complete the ratification process.
We have a key role to play in enhancing EU-Canada relations. Interparliamentary meetings with our Canadian counterparts take place once a year and give an opportunity to exchange on a wide range of topics - trade, security and defence, energy security and critical raw material, foreign interference and artificial intelligence.
En outre, nous organisons régulièrement des réunions de la délégation du Parlement européen ainsi que de nombreuses rencontres informelles avec des professeurs universitaires, des journalistes, des représentants de la société civile et du secteur privé canadiens.
Je me réjouis des échanges parlementaires avec nos amis canadiens dans les années à venir!
The next meeting of the Delegation for relations with Canada will be held jointly with the Committee on Foreign Affairs on 23 September at 9:30. The draft agenda will be available at a later stage.
The Chair of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, David McAllister (EPP. DE), the Chair of the Delegation for Relations with Canada, Javier Moreno Sánchez (S&D, ES), and Committee on Foreign Affair's Standing Rapporteur for Canada Tobias Cremer (S&D, DE) issued a statement expressing solidarity with the people affected by the devastating wildfires in Canada and underline the strength of transatlantic bonds.
The meeting of the Delegation for relations with Canada focused on the outcome of the Canadian federal election of 28 April 2025 and its possible impact on EU-Canada relations. Members received a presentation from Professor Serge Jaumain of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (available below). Questions focused, among other things, on closer EU-Canada political, trade, and security ties.
