Press Release: EU to chair plurilateral talks to open services markets

The European Union would chair the 6th Round of negotiations for the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) that would begin on the 17 February 2014. TiSA negotiations aim at opening up markets in services among a diverse group of the World Trade Organisation's (WTO) members who are willing to push ahead with liberalisation faster than the general membership of the World Trade Organization. The result would be a plurilateral agreement among a 'coalition of the willing' to open up markets on services.
