Vyhodnocení smluvní úpravy na úrovni obchodu mezi EU a Kanadou

Abstract

The diploma thesis is focused on the framework contractual arrangements of CETA, specifically the trade agreement concluded between the EU and Canada. The aim of this diploma thesis is the analysis of agreement and the assessment of their impacts by means of an analysis of the trade balance in the specified years and a comparison of non-tariff barriers to trade within the scope of the CETA agreement within the WTO. The theoretical part of the thesis contains a basic definition of the parties involved in the sense of the possibility of concluding business agreements. Business ties and forms of cooperation between the two parties are analysed here. Furthermore, the essence of the functioning of the WTO organization is described here, and specific non-tariff barriers to trade necessary for comparison between the two entities are defined here. In the practical part of the thesis, an analysis of the trade balance between the Czech Republic and Canada is carried out in two observed periods, namely before and after the signing of the CETA framework agreement. The subsequent evaluation of these observed periods is supported by the structure of the trade of the most traded commodities between the Czech Republic and Canada. Furthermore, there is a comparison of the mentioned non-tariff barriers to trade within the framework of CETA with respect to the WTO and the subsequent presentation of specific sectors in which the legal regulation of the CETA regional agreement carries appropriate advantages compared to the basic legal regulation within the WTO.
