 The WTO...

GENERAL AGREEMENT ON TRADE IN SERVICES

The right to regulate is one of the fundamental
premises of the GATS.

The objective of the GATS is to liberalize services

trade, not to deregulate services, many of which
are closely regulated for very good reasons.

The GATS specifically recognizes "the right of

Members to regulate, and to introduce new
regulations, on the supply of services within their
territories in order to meet national policy
objectives".

 GATS Coverage and “modes of supply”
The GATS covers all internationally-traded services. The GATS also
defines four ways in which a service can be traded, known as "modes of
supply":
 services supplied from one country - "cross-border supply";

 consumers from one country making use of a service in another

country - "consumption abroad";

 a company from one country setting up subsidiaries or branches

to provide services in another country - "commercial presence";

 individuals travelling from their own country to supply services

in another -"movement of natural persons".

 CONCILIATION/ MEDIATION: An

 Conciliation is a way of settling disputes
between parties arising from, or connected with
construction contracts in the Philippines (except
labor disputes). The dispute is referred to a
panel of conciliators tasked to bring the parties
to an agreement.

Mediation is a way of settling disputes

between parties arising from, or connected with
construction contracts in the Philippines (except
labor disputes). A single neutral third party,
called mediator, brings the disputing parties to a
negotiation.

ARBITRATION: A machinery for construction disputes
Arbitration is defined as the investigation and determination of
matters of differences between contending parties by one or
more unofficial persons, called arbitrators or referees, chosen
by the parties [Bouvier’s Law Dictionary 225]. It is in tended to
avoid the formalities, the delay, the expense and vexation of
ordinary litigation [Curtis-Castle Arbitration, 42 Am.St., Rep
200].

In simple terms, arbitration is a way of settling dispute/s

between parties who agree to submit such dispute/s for
resolution by their chosen judges or arbitrators. Arbitration is a
simple, speedy and less expensive alternative to court action.
