General Transparency and Other "Good Governance Sample Clauses

General Transparency and Other "Good Governance. Obligations Sufficient information about potentially relevant rules and regulations is critical to the effective implementation of an Agreement. Article III ensures that Members publish promptly all measures pertaining to or affecting the operation of the GATS. Moreover, there is an obligation to notify the Council for Trade in Services at least annually of all legal or regulatory changes that significantly affect trade in sectors where specific commitments have been made. Members are also required to establish enquiry points which provide specific information to other Members upon request. However, there is no requirement to disclose confidential information (Article IIIbis). Given strong government involvement in many service markets – for various reasons, including social policy objectives or the existence of natural monopolies – the Agreement seeks to ensure that relevant measures do not undermine general obligations, such as MFN treatment or specific commitments in individual sectors. Thus, each Member is required to ensure, in sectors where commitments exist, that measures of general application are administered impartially and in a reasonable and objective manner (Article VI:1). Service suppliers in all sectors must be able to use national tribunals or procedures in order to challenge administrative decisions affecting services trade (Article VI:2a).

Consultations with indus- try, trade and consumer associations. A Handbook on the GATS Agreement MOST-FAVOURED-NATION TREATMENT The most-favoured-nation (MFN) principle is a cornerstone of the multilateral trading system conceived after World War II. It seeks to replace the frictions and distortions of power-based (bilateral) policies with the guarantees of a rules-based framework where trading rights do not depend on the individual participants’ eco- nomic or political clout. Rather, the best access conditions that have been conceded to one country must automatically be extended to all other participants in the sys- tem.
