GATS

Stop the GATS power play

Jun 10, 2005 02:54 PM We, the undersigned civil society organizations from around the world, wish to express our deep concerns regarding the current round of negotiations on the General Agreement on Trade in Services [GATS] of the World Trade Organization [WTO], following the effective inclusion of these negotiations as part of the ‘single undertaking’ through the highly criticized July 2004 Framework Agreement.
