Since then, the WTO has been advancing negotiations on environmental goods (the Environmental Goods Agreement) with respect to environmental services. This study examines the international development of the “environmental service trade” from the perspective of environment service providers engaging in cross-border transactions. A unique overview of the ongoing discussions held among various international organizations is presented. These discussions focus on “core environmental services,” such as wastewater treatment and waste management, proposed by the Organization for conomic Cooperation and Development. The study analyzes the categories of industries to which foreign-affiliated companies that provide waste treatment services in Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation member states belong. The findings reveal that many of the companies expanded from a wide range of industries into waste treatment services. Therefore, the findings suggest that given the policy implications of reducing or eliminating non-tariff barriers to environmental services under the Doha Ministerial Declaration, formulating definitions of feasible environmental services would considerably limit the list of environmental services. Thus, this study proposes a unique negative list approach that is limited to service providers who directly contribute toward the solution of environmental issues. The list defines environmental services for industries focusing on the end users of environmental goods. An empirical analysis of waste treatment services and wind power generation services in Thailand verifies the list’s applicability. This study has implications for global and domestic policy makers and global environmental service providers.}, pages = {145--157}, title = {The Tentative Definition of Environmental Service Trade:The Negative List Method Using Environmental Goods Trade}, year = {2020} }
