TISA: Trade in Services Agreement

The TiSA or “Trade in Services Agreement” negotiations represent an initiative of a group of countries wishing to impart renewed dynamism into services discussions in Geneva and to consider new approaches to services trade liberalisation which could both support and feed back into multilateral trade negotiations.
This Public Information Session provides a forum for discussion outside the formal negotiating environment. Speakers will present an overview of the objectives and main elements of the TISA negotiations, the progress that has been made to date as well as perspectives on new approaches to services negotiations. Furthermore perspectives from different TISA participants will be shared.
