Imported cheese tariffs are an international trade issue. CETA was intended to help with this, but grocers et al aren't choosing to import European cheeses. :(

- Scoundreller 8y agoThe tariffs exist to protect the supply management system. No tariffs = disappearance of supply management overnight. CETA only slightly increased the amount of cheese that can be imported duty/tariff free. It’s by no means a free-for-all with EU cheese. I wish it were.
- dleslie 8y agoPurchasers are not purchasing European product _despite not having reached regulated limits_. Regulation was relaxed, and the purchasers are not availing themselves of the opportunity to purchase European goods. It doesn't matter that it's not a free for all, because the limits have not been hit.
