| SHAPING FUTURE GATS RULES FOR TRADE IN SERVICES (2007) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| Abstract: The GATS is justifiably credited with having created a more secure environment for trade in services. But even though it has put in place a useful framework to deal with explicit protection, it has not generated either the negotiating momentum to reduce such protection or the rules to ensure that it takes a desirable form. In dealing with the trade-impeding impact of domestic regulations, the Agreement has achieved even less. The paper suggests possible improvements in the rules of the Agreement, in the specific commitments made by countries and in the negotiating methodology. | |||||||||||||
