Council for Trade in Services
STRUCTURE OF COMMITMENTS FOR MODES 1, 2 AND 3
Background Note by the Secretariat
Corrigendum
Please substitute in document S/C/W/99 the Chart and Tables reproduced below for Chart 1
(page 4) and Tables A10 and A11 (pages 15 and 16).
In both Tables, the number of commitments have been changed for audiovisual services (55),
maritime transport services (101), rail transport services (58), road transport services (136) and the
total of all sectors (4,338).  The changes are necessa ry to correct an error made in aggregating sub-
segments of these four sectors.  Chart 1 has been modified accordingly.
Consequently, the third sentence of paragraph 10 (page 4) needs to be changed as follows:
"Overall, out of 7,040 Market-Access limitations specifically attached to 4,140  4,338 commitments,
1,750 fall under the "other" category, 1,420 appear to be mis-scheduled, while an additional 1,400
limitations relate to types of legal entity."
Footnote 5 on page 3 should be modified as follows:  “The results for the three transport
sectors included in Chart I need to be seen in the light of the very low number of Members which
have undertaken commitments in these areas."
