particular: 
(a) 
 
 
As a general rule, FATS statistics provide 
information on mode 3 and balance of payments 
statistics correspond to the other modes of supply. The 
exception is that the balance of payments construction 
services component may be allocated to mode 3 or 
broken down between modes 3 and 4; 
(b) 
The balance of payments components 
transportation,  communication services,  insurance 
services,  financial services, and royalties and license 
fees may be allocated to mode 1; 
(c)   The balance of payments components computer 
and information services,  other business services, and 
personal, cultural, and recreational services may be 
broken down by mode 1 and mode 4; 
(d) The travel component broadly corresponds to 
mode 2, excluding travellers’ expenditure on goods; 
(e) 
 
 
Balance of payments labour-related flows 
provide supplementary information on mode 4. 
2.99.  Table 1 summarizes the two statistical systems 
underlying the Manual’s main frameworks, BPM5 and 
FATS, and brings together information for each mode of 
supply. 
2.100. 
A generalized framework for statistics on 
affiliates’ operations would provide information on 
domestic sales according to both an activity breakdown 
(ICFA categories) and a product breakdown (EBOPS 
components).  When product breakdowns are not 
available, the ICFA activity breakdown is used. This has 
been aligned with EBOPS for the purpose of 
approximating products produced by various industrial 
activities.  There is, however, no intention of establishing 
one-to-one correspondence between ISIC, Rev.3 and 
EBOPS for the estimation of services produced by foreign 
affiliates.  Such a correspondence might overlook 
important areas of secondary production by industries (for 
further explanation, see annex IV). Only when compilers 
are able to classify the output of foreign affiliates on a 
product basis will it be possible to directly compare the 
values of specific types of services, delivered to foreign 
markets through trade between residents and non-
residents, with sales by foreign affiliates. 
2.101. To achieve its goals of clarity, feasibility and 
minimum cost, this simplified statistical approach to 
modes of supply does not strictly adhere to GATS 
provisions. Rather, it has been designed to provide 
relevant information for GATS, while ensuring 
feasibility and minimizing the resources needed for its 
implementation. However, the introduction of these 
modes in the statistical context, albeit in a simplified 
way, may still necessitate significant resources. Thus, 
the breakdown of statistics by modes of supply is 
accorded a relatively low priority, and countries may 
choose to see the provision of statistics by these modes 
as a longer-term objective.
