lpv:translated text	"As they deal with the same subject, the following Questions Nos 29 and 85 will be taken together. Question No 29 by Margrietus J. van den Berg (): In connection with the GATS negotiations (WTO), the Commission's Committee 133 is currently drafting the EU's wish list concerning the liberalisation of services in developing countries. The Commission considers such lists to be outside the public domain. But since 16 April, provisional lists for 29 countries have been publicly accessible via an NGO website. They show that developing countries are also being asked to open up certain service sectors which, even in the European Union, are considered sensitive. Has the Commission given preferential treatment to business? What role did the European Services Network play? Is it true that the Commission is calling for the opening-up of the water sector in developing countries, when Member States do not want to open up their own? Is there not some contradiction here? What is the relationship between the GATS negotiations and what the IMF requires of developing countries under its SAPs with regard to liberalisation? Question No 85 by Anne E.M. Van Lancker (): In cooperation with Committee 133, the Commission is currently preparing its mandate for the GATS negotiations. Work is reportedly underway just now on a list of sectors the European Union wants to see included in the talks on liberalisation. Will the Commission explain how these important negotiations are being prepared for and say what sectors are on the Member States' wish list? Is it prepared to disclose this wish list to the European Parliament? It has repeatedly been affirmed that public goods such as education, healthcare and water would not be liberalised under any circumstances. Can the Commission confirm that this position will be maintained? Will the wish list be submitted to the General Affairs Council for approval, or do these matters fall wholly within the Commission's negotiating mandate?"@en1
