You left out TISA, also GATS is already there, thats a lot like TISA, but TISA included all service sectors and modes of supply by default and countries have to opt out. TiSA is supposed to be folded into the GATS eventually. Read the paper in my sig.

Basically, once we're in these deals, politics will be like the button people press to cross the street that does absolutely nothing.
