12. EU Bilateral Trade Policy = “Deep and Comprehensive FTA” – Single Undertaking
Goods: tariffs cuts (+95%), NTBs, Rules of Origin,
Trade in services (Cross border, Movement of people)
Investment (Pre-establishment market access, post establishment protection)
IPR (copyrights, patents, data flows, etc.)
Public Procurement (central, regions, local, public entities)
Competition, dispute settlement
Regulatory disciplines and cooperation
 ”Servicification” of the economy!

13. Impact of trade in services negotiations: Example: EU Trade Policy and Express Delivery Services:  Need to look beyond the close definition of the sector

14. GATS & Postal and Express Services
 Is it only about Section 2 A & B of CPC?

15. GATS & Express Delivery Services

17. Impact of EU Services Trade Policy on Manufacturing Industry
Manufacturing industries consume/buy/outsource a lot of services
=> Embodied Services: In recent years, the application of enabling services such as telecommunications and IT has driven deeper segmentation of goods supply chains into production units which can be dispersed geographically, and yet be connected
Embodied services are involved throughout the processing and manufacturing steps in the goods supply chain
all traded goods embody services, on average around 25%
embodied services represent a higher share (50% +) of value-add of high tech goods
Manufacturing industries sell more & more services, as integral part of their activities
=> Embedded Services

18. Embodied services  Essential components of the supply chain of trade in goods

19. Embedded Services in the products Essential elements of creation of value added and benefits

20. Impact of EU Services Trade Policy on Manufacturing Industry
In all manufacturing sectors, the companies consume and provide many services that improve the competitiveness of their daily activities
In many instances, the services provided around the products are a major element to sell the products (part of the innovation)
In many instances, the services provided around the products are generating an important part of the benefits of the companies (long term maintenance contract).
 However, very few companies do look at the trade in services negotiations that are in fact vital for their companies !!!

21.  The European Services Forum can help!
Conclusion:
It is time for Manufacturing companies to closely monitor the trade in services negotiations, …
 The European Services Forum can help!
