Trade and migration contexts: Setting the scene

This session was dedicated to analysing the trade and migration context. Trade and migration used to be seen as entirely separate and conducted with different mindsets until GATS Mode 4 brought these phenomena together. The aim of this meeting was to bring about an awareness of some of the values driving trade and those driving migration management. However, it was also considered important to keep in focus certain distinctions to enable trade liberalization to progress unhampered by some of the specific considerations that underline migration management.
