The previous General Agreement on Trade
in Services (GATS) negotiations produced little
liberalization of the movement of individual service
providers (mode 4), and the potentially large global gains
from such movement remain unrealized. In the current
negotiations, as part of the Doha Development Agenda,
developing countries are seeking greater openness in their
area of comparative advantage: the movement of providers
unrelated to commercial presence abroad. At the same time,
many multinational firms would like easier intra-corporate
movement of their personnel. We describe how this
coincidence of interest could be harnessed to deliver
greater openness at least for skilled service providers.
