Abstract: This article, based the analysis of recent circumstances accompanying a signature of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement EU-Canada (CETA), focuses on the state of play of the EU Common Commercial Policy and its effective and legitimate conduct. A decision about mix nature of the CETA under the EU law, which requires both the Union and the Members States to be parties of the treaty on the side of the EU, had grave implications with uncertain result. Relevant internal ratification procedures in each EU Member State should provide legitimacy to free trade agreements and the EU Common Commercial Policy in general. Nevertheless, this opinion does not take a strong role of the European parliament in ratification into account. Likewise the paper finds out that mixity has negative consequences on capability of the EU Common Commercial Policy and ultimately it can lead into its renationalization.
