Abstract
The article analyzes the WTO rules on the provision of notifications (notifications) on measures related to the regulation of trade in services. The practice of fulfilling these requirements by WTO members is considered. It is noted that services play a dominant role in global GDP, therefore, the recovery of the global economy in the post-crisis period will largely depend on the development of this sector. The author gives examples of national support measures that were not reflected in the notifications. It is concluded that the WTO rules on transparency in terms of trade in services require clarification in order to increase the awareness of the organization's members about the measures of partners.
