On Tuesday April 5, 2016 Mr. Werner Wnendt, the Ambassador of Germany to Canada, visited our Rotary Club and gave a short but very informative presentation about current global events.
The membership had the opportunity to raise several issues of concern like the present refugee crisis in Europe and in particular the integration of refugees into the German society.
The Ambassador pointed out that although Germany was overwhelmed with the recent influx of refugees, it tries to accommodate them in an orderly, but speedy effort and avoids mistakes of neighboring countries by not concentrating them in areas of big cities.
Other points of interest discussed were the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), its ratification and possible opposition to the treaty. The Ambassador pointed out that once applied, it will offer businesses more and better opportunities in Canada as well as in Europe and will benefit consumer on both sides.
