Session Overview:
The ground is shifting in international commerce. It is a time of great uncertainty, but potentially also a great opportunity.
Glass Canada editor, Patrick Flannery, and a panel of handpicked experts discuss the recently signed Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and what it means for Canadian architectural glass fabricators and contractors looking for business in Europe.
Topics will include:
- changes to trade and tariff regimes,
- differences between North American and European glazing standards
- reviews of the construction industry prospects overseas.
As doubts swirl about the future of trade with the U.S., barriers are coming down across the Atlantic.
