They aim at&nbsp;trade liberali‑ sation, but their scope is&nbsp;broader, comprising other areas of&nbsp;socio‑economic life, more or&nbsp;less directly linked to&nbsp;trade, such as&nbsp;e.g.: the liberalisation of&nbsp;public services, the mutual recognition of&nbsp;professional qualifications, the deregulation and liberalisation of&nbsp;financial markets, the protection of&nbsp;intellectual property rights, and the cooperation in&nbsp;creating new rules or&nbsp;protecting mutual investments. There‑ fore, the aim of&nbsp;this paper is&nbsp;to&nbsp;analyse the scope and content of&nbsp;the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) signed in&nbsp;2016 by&nbsp;the European Union and Canada from the point of&nbsp;view of&nbsp;the Balassa stages of&nbsp;economic integration and the EU’s experience in&nbsp;order to&nbsp;state whether the naming of&nbsp;such agreements as&nbsp;trade agreements, even with the “new generation” qualification, is&nbsp;re‑ ally justified. The analysis presented in&nbsp;this paper leads to&nbsp;the conclusion that this agreement should rather be&nbsp;included in&nbsp;the category of&nbsp;agreements labelled as&nbsp;integration agreements. Most of&nbsp;the CETA provisions are at&nbsp;the same level of&nbsp;sophistication as&nbsp;was achieved by&nbsp;the EU countries at&nbsp;the stage of&nbsp;building the single market, that is, at&nbsp;the stage of&nbsp;the implementation of&nbsp;the common mar‑ ket in&nbsp;Balassa’s nomenclature, and some of&nbsp;them are at&nbsp;the stage of&nbsp;economic and monetary union. The scope of&nbsp;the CETA, i.e. the number of&nbsp;areas of&nbsp;social and economic life regulated by&nbsp;it&nbsp;as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;their advancement and complexity, goes far beyond what is&nbsp;commonly understood as&nbsp;a&nbsp;trade agreement and beyond its official purpose&nbsp;– the creation of&nbsp;a&nbsp;free trade area between the European Union and Canada. It&nbsp;leads to&nbsp;economic integration at&nbsp;a&nbsp;level far deeper than a&nbsp;free trade area in&nbsp;its classic and common sense.</p>10acommon market10aeconomic integration10aeconomic union10aEuropean integration10afree trade area10aregional integration10aregional trade agreements10astages of economic integration10atrade agreements10atrade liberalisation1 aŚliwińska, Magdalena  uhttps://euro.ue.poznan.pl/pl/content/integration-character-ceta-agreement01082nas a2200169   4500008004100000020002200041245006000063210006000123250004800183260011500231300001200346520037800358653002500736653001900761653001300780856011900793       2012                        eng d  a978-86-7747-459-100aCurrent economic integration tendencies in the MERCOSUR0 aCurrent economic integration tendencies in the MERCOSUR  aSlobodan Pajovic, Maria de Monserrat Llairo  aBelgrade, SerbiabCEISAL Consejo Europeo de Investigaciones Sociales de América Latina, MEGATREND Universidad  a101-1143 a<p style="text-align: justify;">The chapter presents the current economic integration processes in the South American continent with special focus on the MERCOSUR and then refers the activities and relations in the process of supporting of regional integration in Latin America by the European Union - the organization that is the most advanced in terms of integration.</p>10aeconomic integration10aEuropean Union10aMercosur  uhttps://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxkZWFsY2JlbGdyYWRvfGd4OjFlZDMzNDMwMGVjODMyZDcno socket
