Coverage includes issues relating to pending accessions to the GPA particularly those of developing countries with a large state sector such as China; the revised (provisionally agreed) GPA text of 2006 including provisions on electronic procurement and Special and Differential Treatment for Developing Countries; and procurement provisions in regional trade agreements and their significance for the multilateral system.

Rapport sur le commerce mondial 2019
Les services sont devenus la composante la plus dynamique du commerce mondial et jouent un rôle de plus en plus important dans l’économie mondiale et dans la vie quotidienne. Pourtant l’importance de la contribution des services au commerce mondial n’est pas toujours bien comprise. Le Rapport sur le commerce mondial 2019 tente d’y remédier en utilisant un nouvel ensemble de données élaboré par l’OMC qui prend en compte les différentes façons dont les services sont fournis à travers les frontières. Le Rapport examine la manière dont le commerce des services a évolué ces dernières années et se penche sur la question de savoir pourquoi le commerce des services compte. Les grandes tendances qui influent sur le commerce des services y compris l’évolution démographique les technologies numériques la hausse des revenus et le changement climatique sont examinées. Le Rapport donne aussi des estimations concernant l’évolution possible du commerce des services au cours des 20 prochaines années et les perspectives en matière de renforcement de la coopération internationale dans le domaine des politiques relatives au commerce des services. Le Rapport constate que les coûts du commerce des services sont plus élevés que ceux du commerce des marchandises mais qu’ils diminuent en grande partie sous l’effet des technologies numériques. Il montre en quoi la baisse des coûts du commerce devrait accroître la part des services dans le commerce mondial et en quoi cela pourrait contribuer à une croissance et un développement plus inclusifs. Pour que les économies puissent tirer parti du rôle croissant joué par le commerce des services la coopération internationale devra s’intensifier.
