AnimportantobjectiveoftheUnitedStatesintheUruguayRoundwastoreduceoreliminatebarrierstointernationaltradeinservices.Whilethereisstillmuchprogresstobemadebeforefreetradeinserviceswillexistthroughouttheworld,theGeneralAgreementonTradeinServices(GATS)isthefirstmultilateral,legallyenforceableagreementcoveringtradeandinvestmentinservicessector.Itprovidesalegalbasisforfuturenegotiationsaimedateliminatingbarriersthatdiscriminateagainstforeignservicestradeanddenythemmarketaccess.Forthefirsttime,comprehensivemultilateraldisciplinesandprocedurescoveringtradeandinvestmentinserviceshavebeenestablished.Specificmarket-openingconcessionsfromawiderangeofindividualcountrieswereachievedandprovisionwasmadeforcontinuednegotiationstofurtherliberalizetelecommunicationsandfinancialservices.
