Services Council adopts negotiating timetable for this year
At a special
session on Friday 14 April, the Council for Trade in Services adopted its work programme
for 2000, including the dates for negotiating sessions (see

each of these four weeks, meetings of the services subsidiary committees (committee on
specific commitments, working party on domestic regulations, working party on GATS rules)
will be followed by a meeting of the services council (on the review of MFN exemptions or
the review of the annex on air transport services) and finally by a special session of the
services council on negotiations. |
