GATS
Gats in International Trade
Meaning of Gats, according to the Dictionary of International Trade (Global Negotiator): The General Agreement on Trade Services is a World Trade Organization agreement that is the first multilateral agreement provide legally enforceable rules covering all international trade services and investment in the service sector. Attached to the framework agreement are annexes dealing with rules for specific sectors (movement of natural persons, air transport, financial services, telecommunications, etc.). The agreement also provides for exceptions to the principles of national treatment and most-favoured nation treatment. See GATT General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Website.
GATS
The General Agreement on Trade in Services, abbreviated as GATS, is a treaty of the World Trade Organization (WTO) that entered into force in 1995 following the Uruguay Round negotiations. It was created to include services in the multilateral trading system. Ranging from architecture to voice-mail telecommunications, services today form the largest and most dynamic component of developed and developing countries' economies (accounting for more than 60 % of global production and employment, although no more than 20 % of total trade)
The GATS applies in principle to all service sectors, with two exceptions:
services supplied in the exercise of governmental authority (examples include social security schemes and any other public service, such as health or education, provided at non-market conditions);
services related to air traffic rights.
