The right to regulate is one of the fundamental
premises of the GATS. The objective of the GATS
is to liberalize services trade, not to deregulate
services, many of which are closely regulated for
very good reasons. The GATS specifically
recognizes "the right of Members to regulate, and
to introduce new regulations, on the supply of
services within their territories in order to meet
national policy objectives".

 GATS Coverage and modes of supply
The GATS covers all internationally-traded services. The GATS also
defines four ways in which a service can be traded, known as "modes of
supply":
services supplied from one country - "cross-border supply";

consumers from one country making use of a service in another

country - "consumption abroad";

a company from one country setting up subsidiaries or branches

to provide services in another country - "commercial presence";

individuals travelling from their own country to supply services

in another -"movement of natural persons".
