DECISION CONCERNING PARAGRAPH (b) OF ARTICLE XIV
OF THE GENERAL AGREEMENT ON TRADE IN SERVICES
Ministers recommend that the Council for Trade in Services at its
first meeting shall adopt the decision set out below.
WORKING PARTY ON TRADE IN SERVICES AND THE ENVIRONMENT
The Council for Trade in Services,
Acknowledging that measures necessary to protect the environment may
conflict with the provisions of the Agreement, and
Noting that since measures necessary to protect the environment
typically have as their objective the protection of human, animal or plant
life or health, it is not clear that there is a need to provide for more
than is contained in paragraph (b) of Article XIV.
Decides as follows:
1. In order to determine whether any modification of Article XIV of the
Agreement is required to take account of such measures, a Working Party
shall be established and shall examine and report, with recommendations if
any, on the relationship between services trade and the environment
including the issue of sustainable development. The Working Party shall
also examine the relevance of inter-governmental agreements on the
environment and their relationship to the Agreement.
2. The Working Party shall report the results of its work within three
years of the entry into force of the Agreement Establishing the MTO.
