GATS FREE ZONE

Alain | 07.06.2004 06:33 | Globalisation | London

To show that we don't want GATS, a GATS Free Zone logo is available.



The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) is an international trade agreement that came into effect in 1995 and operates under the umbrella of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

The aim of the GATS is to gradually remove all barriers to trade in services. The agreement covers services as diverse as banking, education, healthcare, rubbish collection, tourism or transport, water, energy.....

A logo to protest

Protest! Use the logo we have develloped. Put it on your door, your mailbox, your bicycle, your Internet sites.. Make flags and tee-shirts... Spread it at much as possible. Explain GATS to your friends, your parents, your neighbors. Do like many cities in the world, be a GATS Free Zone and show it.
This logo have been adopted by about 100 websites in France, Québec, Italy, Belgium, Nederlands... About 20 french towns use it to communicate on their "GATS Free Zone" decision.
