into another Member's territory to obtain a service;

the shop(e.g. domestic subsidiaries of foreign insurance companies or hotel chains); and
4. Presence of natural persons consists of persons of one Member entering the territory of another
Member to supply a service (e.g. accountants, doctors or teachers).

2) Reducing incident of customs duty payments

While some nations experienced growth in exports, others were indecline.

While some have gained competitiveness, some have fallen behind.

The hope of some toward political unity is still far from the horizon.
