Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : This isn't a trivial technicality - it goes to the core of parliamentary sovereignty and democratic oversight of international trade.
45% : While the agreement has been provisionally in force since 2017 across the EU, it has not been fully ratified by at least 10 EU countries, including France, Italy and Poland, according to the Council of the European Union's official record (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada, of the one part, and the European Union and its Member States, of the other part - Consilium).
43% : - Yours, etc, Sir, - Vincent Carroll suggests that Ireland is the only EU member state not to have endorsed the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (Ceta) between the EU and Canada (Letters, April 30th).
30% : Minimal research has been carried out on this shameful activity.
