Global Services Network Alert March 16, 2006 WTO Members Put Forward Plurilateral Services Requests On February 28, 2006, WTO members began putting forward a series of "plurilateral" requests in key service sectors. Under the plurilateral, or "collective" request process, interested groups of countries are voluntarily making joint requests to specific groups of other countries to liberalize particular services.     This approach was agreed at the Hong Kong WTO Ministerial meeting in December and is intended to supplement, not replace, the traditional bilateral request-offer negotiating process.     Plurilateral requests are being made in the following service sectors:   air transport services architectural and engineering services audiovisual services computer and related services construction distribution services education services energy services environmental services financial services legal services logistics services maritime transport postal and courier services telecommunications crossborder services (mode 1) movement of personnel (mode 4)   Click here for copies of the requests.
