Abstract

General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), one of the legal documents in the Appendix to the agreement that had established WTO, is the first multi-lateral agreement that defines and delineates the basic concepts, rules and principals of international trade in services. This paper discusses and evaluates the subject of “The Temporary Movement of Natural Persons”, one of the four principal categories of trade in services. The first section presents an overview of “Trade in Services” and the regulations and arrangements thereof in the framework of GATS and the second section discusses the obstructions to the liberalization of the temporary movement of natural persons. An analysis of the costs and benefits to the participants of the temporary movement of labor is presented in the third and the last section of the paper.
