Service activities are the sleeping giant of the transatlantic
economy. If awakened and unbound, they would further deepen the
commercial stakes between the United States and Europe and enhance
global competitiveness on both sides of the Atlantic. Today,
services account for the largest share of gross domestic product in
virtually all of the nations that comprise the transatlantic
economy. The service economies of the United States and Europe have
never been as intertwined as they are today, notably in such
activities as financial services, telecommunications, utilities,
insurance, advertising, computer services, and other related
functions. Europe is the most important market in the world for
U.S. global sales of services; the United States is Europe's most
important market for services as well. Yet the full potential of
the transatlantic service economy remains hampered by internal
barriers, regulation, and obstacles in the U.S. and in Europe. This
volume explores the prospects and challenges associated with
opening the transatlantic service economy. European and American
authors examine the state of the U.S. and European service
economies; offer case studies in key sectors such as health
services, financial services, and telecommunications; and highlight
the opportunities for the United States, Europe, and the rest of
the world.
