"The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), one of the agreements of the World Trade Organization (WTO), came into force in January 1995. Negotiated as part of the Uruguay Round of talks, the agreement provides a framework of rules and disciplines on measure affecting trade in services. The objective of the ongoing GATS negotiations, given impetus by the launch of a comprehensive new round of talks at the Doha Ministerial Meeting in November 2001 is to achieve “a progressively higher level of liberalization” in services trade.
Already, GATS places constraints on the ability of sovereign governments to implement cultural policies and programs. Proposals in the new round of liberalization talks and the comprehensive negotiation agenda adopted by the WTO, can only bring further restrictions on governmental measures that support domestic cultural expressions and ensure cultural diversity."
