USTR Lead Negotiator and Experts Discuss the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) Negotiations

The Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) is an international agreement currently being negotiated by countries representing 75 percent of global trade in services to liberalize trade in services, including finance, investment, insurance, legal services, and other emerging issues such as restrictions on cross-border data flows that can disrupt financial and e-commerce services. The negotiating countries recently agreed to hold four more rounds of negotiations in an effort to conclude the agreement by July 2016. Come hear two leading experts on TiSA and the lead U.S. negotiator on TiSA, fresh from the November/ December negotiating round focused on financial services in Geneva, discuss and answer questions on the major outstanding issues.
