negotiations on trade in services

REPORT by THE CHAIRMAN, h.e. ambassador Hector MARCELO CIMA,

to the trade negotiations committee

1.1.  The purpose of this report is to provide the Trade Negotiations Committee (TNC) with the current state of play in the services negotiations. It covers four areas: services trade facilitation, services related to e-commerce, market access, and domestic regulation. While these four topics have been discussed over the past year, only domestic regulation has been raised since my last oral report to the informal TNC/HoDs meeting of 24 October 2017.
