For immediate release: 
Brussels, 3rd February 2016 – 14:00. 
European Service Industry welcomes the EP Recommendations on TiSA 



The European Services Forum (ESF), the voice of the European services sectors in international 
trade, welcomes the adoption today by the European Parliament, with a strong majority (76%), 
of the Recommendations to the European Commission on the negotiations for the Trade in 
Services Agreement (TiSA). The report of MEP Viviane Reding (EPP – LU) gives clear blue lines 
and red lines to the negotiators to carry these negotiations in Geneva.  The 16th Round of talks is 
currently going on this week and is focussing on fine-tuning rules on financial services, on 
telecom and e-commerce, and on domestic regulations.  ESF also encouraged EU Trade 
Commissioner Cecilia Malmström to push for an ambitious deal when she met with other TiSA 
Countries ministers in Davos on 23rd January. 
“This EP Report on TiSA is a strong political support to the Commission negotiators, which will 
help the EU in getting a strong deal with its TiSA partners”
 said ESF Chairman Sir Thomas Harris
“The industry will continue to closely monitor the negotiations and hopes for an ambitious 
conclusion by end 2016”
 he added. 
Background: The Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) is a trade agreement currently being 
negotiated by 23 members of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), including the EU. Together, 
the participating countries account for 70% of world trade in services.  The negotiations started 
in 2013.”
