The original list of topics for analysing the trade in services was the following.
Theme 3 addressing links between merchandise trade and balance of payments trade in goods and services should be addressed in Chapter 3.
Theme 5, the sectoral analysis was seen as a possible example for Chapter 5., It is currently an annex to the analytical annex.
Suggestions noted were the inclusion of Country case study materials; the creation of a virtual annex on Internet; reduce the number of themes; market access indicators; and inclusion of an example on global outsourcing.

6. BPM6 alternative presentations
Transportation and travel have two alterative presentations in BPM6.
Should either be given priority in MSITS?
