The article discusses the establishment of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) to be administered by the World Trade Organization. The objective of GATS is to ensure that key parts of the audiovisual service sector are progressively liberalized and privatized. The United States and the Central African Republic have made preliminary commitments in all subcategories of the audiovisual sector. A major criticism of the GATS is the secrecy and lack of transparency of the process.
