C. Shape of the Manual 1.29. Chapter II of the present Manual discusses user
needs, describes links with existing international
frameworks, sets out the approach of the Manual with a
statistical framework for measurement of international
trade in services, and considers the modes of supply,
introducing a simplified approach for statistical analysis
of these. Chapter III addresses services trade between
residents and non-residents, describes EBOPS in detail
and explains how its components should be measured.
Chapter IV describes the new domain of FATS statistics,
the criteria used to define the coverage of FATS, the
classifications used, and the variables recommended for
compilation.
1.30. Supplemental information is provided in the
annexes. Annex I discusses how to approach the
compilation of trade statistics on services delivered by
the movement of natural persons. Other annexes cover
EBOPS; the correspondence between EBOPS, CPC,
Version 1.0 and GNS/W/120, between ICFA and ISIC,
Rev.3, and between ISIC, Rev.3 and ICFA; the GATS;
the list of services used by GATS negotiators; and
tourism satellite accounts. A glossary and bibliography
conclude the Manual.
