After
the Uruguay Round, sectoral negotiations took place in the WTO: on the
movement of natural persons (1995), on telecommunications (1997) and on
financial services (1997). During the sectoral negotiations, participating
countries took new commitments specifically in those sectors. These new
schedules replaced the corresponding section in the original schedules.
Not
all WTO members participated in the sectoral negotiations.
All
new members submit a list commitments and exemptions.
Commitments
and exemptions of European Union (more info)
members are found under “European Communities”, except for:
- the 1993-1995 commitments of Austria, Finland and Sweden, who
joined the EU in 9995,
- the
ten countries which joined the EU on May 1, 2004.
