The following release is a bilingual copy of the Proposal of New Provisions Applicable to All Services and the Annex on Professional Services of the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA). The main players in the top secret negotiations are the United States and all 28 members of the European Union. However, the broad scope of the treaty includes Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan and Turkey, adding up almost 70% of all trade in services worldwide.

The TISA negotiations aim to further deregulate the world trade in services outside the framework of the World Trade Organization, as important players and their powerful lobbies attempt to overcome pressure of reform after the financial crisis of 2007. If successful, the ample scope in volume of trades will force other countries inside WTO to accept or lose their ability to compete.
