This paper reviews the panel report on Mexico-Measures A.ecting Telecommunication Services. The panel considered claims by the United States (US) that Mexico acted inconsistently with its obligations with respect to the liberalization of the market for telecommunication services. It is the .rst panel to consider solely the rules agreed in the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). It is also the .rst panel to deal with telecommunication services and its complex layers of legislation, in particular the rules agreed in the Telecommunications Reference Paper (TRP)onpro-competitive regulatory principles. Viewed fromthis perspective, this report is because of its potential precedence value, of particular signi.cance.
