Abstract
The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) negotiated between the EU and Canada has given rise to concerns in terms of its effects on labour standards. This article analyses the arrangements available under CETA to address risks for labour standards entailed by the Agreement and what effects can be expected of these arrangements in practice. For this purpose, labour provisions as well as exception clauses, impact assessments and the Joint Interpretative Instrument pertaining to the Agreement are considered. In the final section it is argued that none of the arrangements examined is sufficient to guarantee that CETA will not result in undercutting domestic labour standards, while several avenues are explored for improving the design of the Agreement and better safeguarding labour standards.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
