EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The partnership between the EU and the Canada is grounded in common values and a shared commitment to democracy, human rights, the rules-based multilateral order, and the rule of law. In view of growing global instability and multiple challenges affecting both the EU and Canada, the report underlines the need for further strengthening the EU-Canada partnership and following up on the outcomes of the EU-Canada Summit of 23 June 2025 through concrete steps aimed at enhancing cooperation in key areas such as trade, competitiveness and resilience, trans-Atlantic security, education and research, and tackling climate change, while also developing cooperation in areas not yet fully addressed in the EU-Canada partnership, such as strengthening people-to-people ties, culture, youth, and supporting inclusive policies for all.
