Cross-border Tourism , financial or Telecommunication s services are examples of Trade in Services. To help regulate the trade in services, several agreements have been negotiated between countries, most prominently the General Agreement On Trade In Services (GATS) in 1995, which contains a legal framework governing trade in services in the more than 140 member economies. Regional agreements like those between CARICOM , EU , and NAFTA members may set stricter rules but apply for smaller combined economies.
