Campaign Against GATS Liberalisation

The EU is requesting 109 developing countries to open their markets for liberalisation in services, many of which are crucial public services such as water, education and healthcare. Although NGO pressure has lead the EU to state that public services in the EU will not be opened to GATS liberalisation, this protection is not being extended to developing countries.

What can you do about it ?

- Send a letter to the EU trade ministers;
- Send a letter to EU Trade Commissioner, Pascal Lamy;
- Read more background documents on the EPHA Health and Trade Policy Paper below;
