<h1>India Proposes WTO Trade Facilitation in Services Agreement to Address Barriers in Services Trade.</h1> India introduced a Concept Note at the WTO for a Trade Facilitation in Services (TFS) Agreement, aiming to address barriers impeding services trade. The proposal seeks to adapt the 2014 Trade Facilitation Agreement for goods to the services sector. Initial discussions in October 2016 showed interest from WTO members, who raised questions about the proposal's scope and mandate. India emphasized the TFS mandate stems from the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). A follow-up proposal in November 2016 detailed possible TFS elements, and a draft legal text was recently tabled to advance discussions.
