Question 11451 — treaties and conventions

Summary

Mrs Marion Lenne questions the Secretary of State, attached to the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, on the possibility of asking citizens for the adoption of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the EU and Canada by organizing a referendum. This question is asked on behalf of Ms. Isabelle Faucon. Alors that the Government presented an action plan, in October 2017, to answer the questions raised by the committee Schubert and many non-governmental organizations, a part of civil society still criticize the substance of the agreement and the way of ratifying it. The preservation of the agricultural sector, the implementation of arbitration mechanisms and even environmental and health risks are all points frequently denounced. While the campaign promises of the President of the Republic placed the citizen as the driving force behind the public decision and transparency as an essential principle of public action, it questions the advisability of mobilization by referendum.
