Revision as of 20:22, 20 April 2007

The United Kingdom is home to a particularly influential services industry lobby, which operates through an organisation called International Financial Services London (IFSL). Two IFSL working groups, the Liberalisation of Trade in Services (LOTIS) Committee and the High-Level LOTIS Group, constitute a veritable corporate-state alliance.

International Financial Services London (IFSL)

The IFSL claims to provide (through its LOTIS (Liberalisation Of Trade In Services) Committee) an effective interface between the private sector and government on a wide range of business, regulatory and market access issues. More specifically, the organisation claims to have close links with government departments, in particular HM Treasury, British Trade International, the Department of Trade and Industry and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The overall goal is to speed up liberalisation of trade in services, which is currently regulated by the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). The growing economic importance of services, and the associated business opportunities this opens up, explains the UK government's support for GATS.
