Overview: by RolfM. Jeker, Federal Office for Foreign Economic Affairs Services have only quite recently become an important issue in foreign economic policy and particularly in international trade negotiations.

The increasing importance of services both nationally and internationally is, mainly, due to the gains in agricultural and industrial productiv­ ity (freeing resources for services activities), and the progress in communication technology, facilitating trade in invisibles. Notable exa
