| description |
Services have a direct impact on the
competitiveness of the goods sector. This paper illustrates
the importance of logistics services, their trade dimension,
and how regulatory issues act as perhaps one of the most
significant barriers to competitiveness. The paper discusses
recent developments and the role and benefits of logistics
services and argues that from a trade agreement standpoint,
logistics is a network industry that ultimately provides one
service to a final client. It analyzes logistics services
from a services trade perspective and proposes that trade
agreements should ensure access to and use of the
infrastructure required to provide these services
recognizing their interconnectedness. The paper offers
suggestions on additional policies World Trade Organization
members, and countries negotiating services agreements
regionally or bilaterally, could follow in order to fully
exploit the opportunities provided by logistics services.
Local regulations and complementary policies in areas such
as trade facilitation will always remain important. |
