Negotiations about Trade Services in the Uruguai Round of the GATT: similarities with the Doha Round, of WTO
Keywords:
Trade in Services, Uruguay Round, GATT, Negotiations on Agriculture, The role of the G-10 and G-20, GATS, WTO, Doha Round, Developing Countries.Abstract
From a developing countries perspective, especially from Brazil’s, this article is intended to assess the negotiating history of the trade in services. It shows the developing countries’ resistance to have the services sector included in the multilateral agenda both prior and subsequently to the beginning of the GATT Uruguay Round and how the negotiations were tied to the agriculture issue. In this scenario, stands out the role performed by the G-10, a group composed of developing countries under the leadership of Brazil and India, in the final format of the services agreement. The G-10 performance and the negotiations on agriculture in the Uruguay Round allow for a comparison with the role of the G-20, a developing countries coalition also under the leadership of Brazil and India, in the current negotiations on trade in services in the WTO Doha Round.
