Where can I get information on liberalization commitments in my service sector?

Under GATS, each WTO Member is required to submit a schedule of commitments in the services sectors. If you are planning to export your services to a new market, you should review the schedule of commitments for your target market(s) to determine what the market offers in terms of market access and national treatment for your type of service. Unlike GATT, GATS does not oblige Members to extend market access or national treatment across all services sectors to fellow Members. Obligations are negotiated on a sector-by-sector basis and are stated in the Member’s schedule of commitments. GATS does oblige its Members to have a schedule of specific commitments, regardless of how minimal these commitments may be. Given the nature of GATS, schedules of commitments are continually changing.
