The Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (fr|Loi sur les mesures extraterritoriales étrangères) is a statute of Canada. The Act was enacted by the Canadian Parliament in 1984 and became effective February 14, 1985, in an attempt to block the extraterritorial application of United States anti-Cuba laws to Canadian corporations. The term Canadian corporation includes Canadian subsidiaries and branches of U.S. companies.
The general intent of the Act was to preclude the implementation of US law, as it relates to restrictions on trade with Cuba, to businesses in Canada. After passage of the US Act, The Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (Libertad) Act of 1996 (Helms–Burton Act, Pub.L. 104–114, 110 Stat. 785, 22 U.S.C. §§ 6021–6091) further changes to the Act were approved effective January 1, 1997.
Orders implementing this Act include:
