Addressing New Service Sectors in WTO/FTAs: Express Delivery and India
Published By: ICRIER on eSS | Published Date: August, 20 , 2010The service sector is evolving. New services and new modes of delivering existing
services have increased the complexities of services negotiations in the WTO and in
FTAs.
The WTO negotiations focus on market access but FTAs tend to go beyond market
access to seeking regulatory commitments from trading partners. India is a proponent
of services liberalisation both in the WTO and through bilateral/regional agreements.
In this context, this paper examines how new service sectors like express delivery
services (EDS) are addressed in WTO/FTAs and its implications for India. [Working Paper 251]
