 In
2001, the Council for Trade in Services tasked the Secretariat with organizing a
Symposium on “Movement of natural persons (mode 4) under the GATS” and
agreed that the event would be planned and sponsored jointly with the World
Bank. The symposium was intended to provide a platform for information exchange
and discussion on different aspects of mode 4 trade. It brought together
government officials, representatives of international organizations, academic
researchers and private sector experts. Presentations addressed GATS provisions
and commitments in relation to mode 4, the economic implications of further
liberalization of the movement of natural persons and the challenges and
opportunities it presents. Current regimes for the temporary entry of services
providers in selected countries were also outlined. The protagonists of mode 4
trade, in home and host countries, and government officials responsible for
regulating the temporary entry of persons presented their views. A panel
discussion with trade negotiators closed the event. The Symposium was held on 11
and 12 April 2002.
