Abstract: We explore generic features of the leptonic CP violation in the framework of the seesaw type I mechanism with similarity of the Dirac lepton and quarks mass matrices

m_{D}

. For this, we elaborate on the standard parametrization conditions which allow to simultaneously obtain the Dirac and Majorana phases. If the only origin of CP violation is the left-handed (LH) transformation which diagonalizes

m_{D}

(similar to quarks), the leptonic CP violation is suppressed and the Dirac phase is close to

p i

or to

0

with

s i n d e l t a_{C P} a p p r o x (s i n h e t a_{13}^{q} / s i n h e t a_{13}) c o s h e t a_{23} s i n d e l t a_{q} s i m l a m b d a^{2} s i n d e l t a_{q}

. Here

l a m b d a s i m h e t a_{C}

, is the Cabibbo mixing angle, and

h e t a_{13}^{q}

and

h e t a_{13}

are the 1-3 mixing angles of quarks and leptons respectively. The Majorana phases

and

are suppressed as

l a m b d a^{3} s i n d e l t a_{q}

. For Majorana neutrinos implied by seesaw, the right-handed (RH) transformations are important. We explore the simplest extension inspired by Left-Right (L-R) symmetry with small CKM-type CP violation. In this case, seesaw enhancement of the CP violation occurs due to strong hierarchy of the eigenvalues of

m_{D}

leading to

d e l t a_{C P} s i m 1

. The enhancement is absent under the phase factorization conditions which require certain relations between parameters of the Majorana mass matrix of RH neutrinos.
