Det siger jo sig selv, at nødvendigheden af at skabe adækvate juridiske rammer er steget voldsomt. Juridiske rammer, som vi i øvrigt har haft for varehandelen siden 1947, GATT-aftalen, og for grænseoverskridende tjenesteydelser siden 1995.
It goes without saying here that the need to create adequate legal frameworks has increased greatly; a legal framework such as has existed for trade in goods since 1947, in the form of the GATT, and since 1995 for cross-border trade in services.
