Trade in Services in the New Century

• Concerns have been raised about the potential adverse effects of liberalizing trade in services under the GATS framework on equity, costs, distribution, availability of services and sovereignty of governments in defining their national objectives. These concerns have been voiced in poor countries in case of such social service sectors as health and education. Critics have stressed the need for an environment that is conducive to both efficiency and social development.
