Uruguay has informed (in Spanish) that it will withdraw from the negotiations around the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA).
The objective of these plurilateral negotiations is to reach an agreement to liberalize trade in services that is broader reaching, more modern, and deeper than the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), which was signed in 1996 under the auspices of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Uruguay began to participate in these talks in November 2014. The Latin American countries that are currently taking part in TISA discussions are Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, and Peru.
