These  services come in different modes, the controversial one being Mode 4,  where a human moves from one country to another. Services account for  nearly 60% of Sri Lanka's GDP and these sort of agreements are becoming  more and more common.Note that these are not official documents. The actual documents may   be completely different, these are just for reference purposes. What should I think? We don't know. This could cost jobs or it could create growth for  everyone - the relevant parts haven't really been negotiated yet. Read  and chat around and decide for yourself.      Source: <a href="http://www.yamu.lk/ectacepa-faq/" target="_blank">yamu.lk</a></blockquote>
