and WTO Negotiations co-published by Cambridge University Press and the WTO (edited by Juan A.
Marchetti and Martin Roy).
The opinions contained in contributions to the book are the sole

The dataset shows the level of market access committed by parties to each
RTA, by mode of supply and by sector, in comparison with achievements in
services in the WTO. The dataset also shows the highest level of market
access commitments by each WTO member across all its RTAs.
First published in 2008, the dataset has been expanded to reflect the continuing growth in services RTAs.
The current dataset was used in the World Trade Report 2011.
“Services Commitments in Preferential Trade Agreements: An Expanded Dataset” by Martin Roy (WTO Staff Working Paper) briefly presents the overall trends for services commitments in RTAs, as based on the extended dataset, and explains the methodology used.
