TiSA - Trade in Services Agreement[modifier]

Related negotiations
  • ACTA - Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement
  • CETA - Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement
  • GATS - General Agreement on Trade in Services
  • TAFTA - Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)
  • TiSA - Trade In Services Agreement
  • TRIPS - Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights.
  • Rounds of International Negotiations:
  • ...

This agreement has been formally in negotations since early 2013 between the European Union and twenty one other countries[1]. It is basically a free-trade agreement but only concerns trade in services. It is closely related to GATS and in particular seems to address questions that are related to personal data. The European Commission ran a consultation on it in 2013 [1]. It continues the stalled negotiations begun within the Doha Round (launched 2001).

TiSA negotiations will cover all services sectors, aiming to develop new trade rules. In particular[2]:

  • financial services
  • ICT services (including telecommunications and e-commerce)[3]
  • professional services; maritime transport services;
  • air transport services, competitive delivery services;
  • energy services; temporary entry of business persons;
  • government procurement;
  • and new rules on domestic regulation to ensure regulatory settings do not operate as a barrier to trade in services.

"This future trade in services agreement should be based on the General Agreement on Trade in Services ("GATS"), and is meant to advance the stalled multilateral negotiations carried out under the umbrella of the World Trade Organisation ("WTO") with those countries that are willing to continue negotiations on trade in services."[4]
