Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Philip Kelly:

There are many committees in the European Parliament. Just as the employment committee has made a recommendation against CETA, the environment committee has made a recommendation in favour of CETA. We have yet to see what the recommendation of the trade committee will be. The European Parliament as a whole will have its say in a plenary vote. It is not my place to arbitrate between different committees of the European Parliament. I will mention two committees, however. The environment committee has come out in favour of CETA and the employment committee has come out against it.
