| This module contains information on Member's market access commitments and exemptions to the Most favoured Nation (MFN) obligation. It also includes the preferential market access commitments for least-developed countries granted by WTO Members under the LDC Services Waiver (see list of notifying Members). The latter feature of I-TIP was developed in cooperation with the International Trade Centre (ITC). |
The RTA module allows to access and search for information on commitments in regional trade agreements notified under Article V of the GATS. Currently, the database covers a good proportion of services RTAs (see list attached).
|
The Applied Services Trade Policy module provides information jointly compiled by the World Bank and the WTO on services regulatory frameworks. Currently, the database covers
31 service sectors in 76 economies. The information for 33 of those economies was collected in 2016-2019 through a survey conducted by the World Bank and the WTO. Information for CEFTA parties was collected in cooperation with the CEFTA Secretariat, and for Niger with ITC. The information for the remaining 43 economies was mainly sourced from the OECD STRI regulatory database (2016 version), thanks to the co-operation of the OECD, which is gratefully acknowledged. Links to other useful sources of information on applied services policies are also provided (e.g. WTO monitoring reports, WTO trade policy reviews). |
The Services Statistics module accompanies the GATS, RTA and Applied regimes modules by providing relevant trade in services and related statistics. |
