SECTOR BY SECTOR Accountancy services The sector includes accounting, auditing and bookkeeping services. Market access negotiations were conducted on accountancy under the Uruguay Round. A Ministerial Decision on Professional Services on 4 April 1995 established the Working Party on Professional Services and gave priority to work on the accountancy sector. In April 1999 the WPPS was replaced by the Working Party on Domestic Regulation. |
