GATS Council

The GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services) Council is a governing body within the World Trade Organization (WTO) responsible for overseeing the implementation and development of the GATS agreement. It ensures member countries follow fair rules for trade in services like banking, telecommunications, and transportation. The Council reviews member commitments, addresses trade disputes, and discusses policy issues to promote transparent and non-discriminatory access to services worldwide. Essentially, it helps maintain a balanced and predictable framework for international trade in services, fostering cooperation and economic growth among member nations.
