Abstract: Services account for an overwhelming share of overall economic activities and are increasingly delivered across borders under various modes of supply. Given their growing importance for trade negotiators, the availability of statistics on the international supply of services detailed by services category, mode of supply and partner country is critically important for services trade policy making. Based on a recent Eurostat project, this paper presents the first estimates for EU trade in services by modes of supply and explores possible avenues to build a global services dataset by modes of supply, building on the latest European initiatives in this area.
