Description
The GATS is an historical agreement covering a wide range of international service transactions. Competitive suppliers of all kinds of services (from both developed and developing economies) can benefit from the more open trading regime of GATS, which aims ultimately to eliminate regulatory restrictions affecting the international supply of services. The main aim of this guide is to inform the international business community of the key features of the multilateral system of trade rules covering services. It will improve the reader’s understanding of the rights and benefits GATS confers and the obligations it imposes. It also identifies the main opportunities and challenges which GATS rules and market access commitments present for practical business transactions.
