World Trade Organization/Greater Agreement on Trade in Services

The negotiations in the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the international binding agreements resulting from these negotiations, will have a considerable impact on national policies in the years to come. The agreements will definitely influence the possibilities to implement national control policies for prevention of alcohol-related problems. The costs for this in developing societies may be high in terms of health problems and social consequences in the future.
