<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Negotiations on an EU-Canada free trade agreement (CETA) were concluded in August2014. By facilitating imports and exports of Canadian products into the European Union and vice versa, this agreement should considerably strengthen the economies on both sides of the Atlantic.  European Commissioner Cecilia Malmström has announced that the agreement should be ratified before the end of 2016 after approval by the Council and adoption by Parliament. However, we do not know if the text will also have to be ratified by the 28 national parliaments to enter into force.  Under European law, ‘mixed’ agreements, including provisions falling under both the Union’s exclusive competences and shared competences must be validated by the 28Member States by parliamentary vote or referendum.  1.How does the European Commission intend to ensure that the text is a ‘non-mixed’ agreement and that approval by the European Union Council and adoption by a majority in the European Parliament are enough for it to be ratified?  2.Does the Commission confirm that the CETA cannot be applied provisionally, as was previously announced by Commissioner Cecilia Malmström in April2015?"
