Type of service delivery
In the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) of the World Trade Organization , four modes of supplying services ( modes ) are distinguished.
Modes of delivery
Example for Austria
Cross-border delivery
Mode 1 : Cross-border provision: e.g. B. ORF broadcast, which is broadcast across Europe.
Utilization abroad
Mode 2 : Utilization abroad: e.g. B. An Austrian goes to Hungary for dental treatment .
Business presence (branch)
Mode 3 : Business presence: e.g. B. An establishment is required to provide a service.
Presence of natural persons
Mode 4 : Presence of natural persons: e.g. B. An Egyptian doctor opens a private clinic in Austria with Egyptian staff.
Mode 3 and Mode 4 are the new modes promoted by Gats, Mode 3 can be seen as a modification of the MAI , Mode 4 can be seen as a migration agreement.
Scheme
Since there was no generally shared definition of goods, a scheme was developed during the negotiations on the GATS that divides services into 12 sectors , which in turn are subdivided into around 155 subsectors and which are also affected by GATS. Each of these sectors is negotiated as a separate point in each mode .
The GATS therefore includes key economic areas and cross-sectional functions (such as financial or telecommunications services) and basic social services such as education, health and audiovisual media.
