Negative Listings

Negative listings in Global Commerce Policy

In making a negative listing a country agrees that all service activities are covered by all provisions of the GATS unless it has listed them specifically as subject to some limitations on market access and national treatment. The advantage of this method is that all new services are automatically covered by the rules. Developed countries have used this method for their commitments on financial services. The entries on trade policy are here. Australia and New Zealand also chose negative listings for the ANZCERTA Protocol on Trade in Services. See also positive listings.[1]
