French PM tells Canada: CETA free trade agreement is 'win-win' deal for both sides

The CETA free-trade agreement between the European Union and Canada is a 'win-win deal' for both sides and it has so far been particularly advantageous for French farmers, French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said during an official visit to Ottawa.
"CETA is a win-win deal," Attal said on Thursday at a news conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, adding that the deal - struck on the EU level - still applied despite continued political disagreement in France.
The deal suffered a setback last month when a large majority of French senators voted against the ratification of the free trade in a closely watched ballot after farmers slammed liberal trade policies in weeks of protests.
