CANADA - The Canadian Meat Council fears unresolved technical issues could delay the movement of Canadian pork and beef into Europe under the Compensative Economic and Trade Agreement, writes Bruce Cochrane.Last Tuesday the European Parliament approved the Compensative Economic and Trade Agreement and the bill has arrived in the Canadian Senate for approval before moving to parliament for Royal assent, at which time a time line can be established for implementation, which could happen by May.Ron Davidson, the Director of International Trade, Government and Media Relations with Canadian Meat Council, says several technical issues still need to be resolved before Canadian beef and pork processors will be able to take full advantage of the agreement.

　　据布鲁斯·科克伦(Bruce Cochrane)写道，加拿大肉类委员会生怕，按照全面经济贸易协定，还存在一些尚未解决的技术问题，将会迟延加拿大猪肉和牛肉进军欧洲市场的举动。上周二，欧洲议会批准了全面经济贸易协定，该法案在被送去加拿大议会御准前，已经递交赠加拿大参议院批准，在皇室允许之时就能断定该法案实施的光阴线，有约摸在五月开始。国际贸易公司主管兼加拿大肉类委员会的政府媒体公关罗恩·戴维森(Ron Davidson)说：“加拿大仍有几个需要解决的技术问题，惟独处理了这些问题，加拿大牛肉和猪肉加工商才干充沛发挥协议中的优势。
