WTO GATS: Trade in services and cultural diversity

This procedure concerns the European Union's position on the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) within the World Trade Organization. It specifically examines how to balance the liberalization of trade in services with the protection of cultural diversity and public services.

This affects the audiovisual industry and service providers globally. It ensures that trade rules do not undermine a country's ability to support its own cultural identity and creative sectors.
