Annex on Telecommunications. Section 5(a): The Panel found that the Annex applied to a WTO Member measures that affect the access to and use of public telecommunication transport networks and services by basic telecommunications suppliers of any other Member, and that Mexico was in violation of Section 5(a), by failing to provide US suppliers the said access on “reasonable terms” when it charged US suppliers rates in excess of a cost-oriented rate and when the uniform nature of these rates excluded price competition in the relevant market of the telecommunication services. • GATS Annex on Telecommunications – Section 5(b): The Panel concluded that Mexico violated its commitments under mode 34 (commercial presence) as it had not taken any steps (issuance of any law or regulation) to ensure access to and use of private-leased circuits for the supply of the said service in a manner consistent with Section 5(b). With respect to the supply of non-facilities-based services from Mexico to any other country, the Panel concluded that Mexico was in violation of Section 5(b) because it only authorized international gateway operators, which excluded by definition commercial agencies interconnecting with foreign public telecommunication transport networks and services to supply international telecommunication services.

Annex on Telecommunications. The Annex on Telecommunications was developed to elaborate certain aspects of the GATS pertaining to this sector and, in particular, to recognize the dual role of telecommunications as a mode of delivery for other services and for goods as well as a tradable service in its own right. All services (not only telecommunications) listed in a Member’s schedule of commitments benefit from the rules governing access to and use of telecommunication networks and services which are elaborated in the Annex on Telecommunications. There are also annexes dealing with air transport, maritime transport and financial services; however, the Annex on Telecommunications is by far the most elaborate. 1) Cross-border supply Service supplier not present within the territory of the Member Service delivered within the territory of the Member, from the territory of another Member. International telecommunications is the most commonly scheduled form of cross- border supply in the sector. Under the traditional correspondent relationship an international operator in one country delivers traffic to a corresponding international operator in a destination country. Countries may enter limitations to prevent bypass of exclusive international operators. There are, however, other forms of cross-border supply in telecommunications such as Global Mobile Personal Communications Service (GMPCS) where the supplier is not necessarily present in the territory where the user of the service is presently situated. Also, telecommunications plays an important role in the cross- border supply of other services such as travel and tourism, air transport and data processing. In this respect the Telecommunications Annex, which ensures “access to and use of public telecommunications transport networks and services (including international) on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions” for all scheduled services, is important. 2) Consumption abroad Service delivered outside the territory of the Member, in the territory of another Member, to a service consumer of the Member. This mode of supply is often referred to as “movement of the consumer”. The essential feature of this mode is that the service is delivered outside the territory of the member making the commitment. Often the actual movement of the consumer is necessary but this mode also pertains to the movement of the property of a consumer across the border, for example, for a repair service provided in another country.
