Behind GATS 2000 / Erik Wesselius 

Public ISBD Titre : Behind GATS 2000 : Corporate Power at Work Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Erik Wesselius, Auteur Editeur : Amsterdam [Pays-Bas] : Transnational Institute (TNI) Année de publication : 2002 Collection : TNI Briefing Series num. 6 Importance : 16 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Accords commerciaux Tags : AGCS-GATS  Libéralisation  Privatisation Index. décimale : 03.02 Accords Commerciaux Résumé : In February 2000, the member states of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) began negotiations to expand the 1995 General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). Since the start of these GATS 2000 talks, concern over their possible outcome has grown, not only among citizens’ organisations, but also among Southern governments and local and regional authorities world-wide. GATS critics point out that the GATS 2000 negotiations pose a threat to the provision of basic public services like education, health or water provision, and to governments’ right to regulate, including policies targeting economic and social development or environmental protection. These threats are the direct result of a disproportionate corporate influence over GATS negotiations, both in the past and in the present.

Gats and democracy / Markus Krajewski 

Public ISBD Titre : Gats and democracy : a joint publication of the Seatlle to Brussels network Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Markus Krajewski, Auteur ; Clare Joy, Auteur Editeur : The Seattle to Brussels Network Année de publication : july 2001 Importance : 20 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Commerce Libéralisation Tags : AGCS-GATS  Libéralisation  Privatisation  Environnement Index. décimale : 03.01 - Commerce/Généralités Résumé : There is growing concern in Europe, as elsewhere, that the WTO’s General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) represents the greatest threat to democracy to come from an international economic agreement since the Multilateral Agreement on Investment, defeated in October 1998. European Commission negotiators are proposing extensions to GATS which would fundamentally undermine citizens’ right to determine their own social and environmental priorities for the future. In addition, they are pushing forward proposals which will not only have an impact on service delivery in Europe, but also put immense pressure on developing countries to liberalise service sectors of export interest to European companies.
