Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services

2. Priorities for allocation to modes of supply 
3.49. Ideally, each EBOPS component should be 
allocated among mode 1, 
cross-border supply
; mode 2, 
consumption abroad
; mode 3, 
commercial presence
; and 
mode 4, 
presence of natural persons
,
 
using the 
principles above. It may be that compilers are only able 
to make this allocation at a less detailed level of EBOPS. 
Although less desirable, compilers are encouraged to 
make the allocation at least at the level of the 11 major 
components of the BPM5 classification (see para. 2.52 
above). However, recognizing the difficulty of allocating 
balance of payments transactions to modes of supply, the 
Manual 
recommends that a full allocation of services by 
modes of supply be accorded a low priority.

See paras. 3.139-3.143 below for a more detailed discussion 
of these issues.

G. Repairs on goods 
3.50. The present 
Manual
follows BPM5 in 
recommending that, for the most part, the value of 
repairs on goods not be included in services. Repairs that 
are included in services in BPM5 and in the present 
Manual
are: 
(a) Construction repairs (included in construction 
services); 
(b) 
Computer repairs (included in 
computer 
services
); 
(c) Repairs incidental to maintenance performed in 
ports and airports on transportation equipment (included 
in 
transportation services
) 
3.51. Maintenance services performed on goods are 
included in services. 
H. Definitions of the components of the Extended 
Balance of Payments Services classification 
3.52. In the remainder of the present chapter, the 
definitions of the various components of EBOPS are 
discussed in detail. This classification is listed in annex 
II. Annex III provides a detailed correspondence table 
between EBOPS, CPC, Version 1.0 and the GNS/W/120 
services sector list that was used by trade negotiators 
during the Uruguay Round; it may be used to assist the 
compiler in resolving classification problems and to link 
the statistical classifications with the GATS list. Annex 
III also shows the relationship between the GNS/W/120 
services sector list, CPC, Version 1.0 and EBOPS.
