3.28. The GATS GNS/W/120 list explicitly excludes some services that are supplied by Governments - those that are supplied on a non-commercial basis and not in competition with one or more service suppliers. 43 These services are included in government services, not included elsewhere, within BPM5 and EBOPS. 3.29. Included in GNS/W/120 are the distribution services of wholesale trade and retailing. Following BPM5, these services are not identified in EBOPS. In the 1993 SNA, wholesalers and retailers are entities that purchase and resell goods with no or only minimal processing (in the form of cleaning, packaging and so forth). They supply a service to producers and consumers of goods by storing, displaying and delivering a selection of goods in convenient locations, thus making them easy to buy. Such services, with the exception of merchanting services (see para. 3.123 below and box 6), are not part of the international services transactions described in BPM5 because the margins that represent those distribution services are included in the free on board (f.o.b.) values of the goods to which they relate. 3.30. In the 1993 SNA, the purchaser’s price is the amount paid by the purchaser, excluding any deductible value-added tax or similar deductible tax, in order to take delivery of a good or a service at the time and place required by the purchaser. It includes any transport charges that are paid separately by the purchaser to take delivery at the required time and place (irrespective of who provides these services) and also any taxes paid by the purchaser (including export taxes). 3.31. For services, the concept of market price in BPM5 is equivalent to the concept of purchaser’s price in the 1993 SNA, because no wholesale, retail or transport distribution costs are involved. 3.32. However, for goods, BPM5 identifies the pricing level as f.o.b. at the border of the exporting country. In general, the f.o.b. price will not necessarily be the same as the purchaser’s price because the f.o.b. price may include separately invoiced distribution costs (wholesale and/or retail margins as well as transportation costs to the border of the exporting country). Further, the purchaser’s price will cover costs that take the goods to the purchaser’s choice of location, which may be beyond the customs frontier. Therefore, those distribution costs, which are separately identified services in the 1993 SNA 43 See annex V, part I, article I. 33 framework, are not separately identified in the balance of payments framework. 3.33. The one exception to this is the special case of merchanting services (see para. 3.123 below and box 6), where goods are purchased in one country for sale in a second country by a resident of a third country. As discussed above, where goods are traded between two countries with no third party involved, the value of wholesale and retail services is included in the value of the goods. This special case arises because there are no goods flows in the country of residence of the merchant; thus, these services would not be included at all if not specifically identified. 3.34. It is recognized that it will not be possible for all compilers to immediately develop statistics at the detailed component level specified in EBOPS. Therefore, the highest priority is given to the development of statistics on international trade in services at the level described in BPM5. Following this, compilers should work towards disaggregation of these components to the level specified in EBOPS, but in an order that reflects the economic significance of the various services components to their economies. Third, compilation of the memorandum items should be carried out where the data are available as a by-product of the compilation of the related EBOPS components, or where their importance to users has been identified. 3.35. Although more frequent data would be useful for a range of analytical purposes, the present <strong>Manual</strong> recommends that EBOPS-level data and the memorandum items be produced on an annual basis, consistent with and reconcilable to quarterly data at a more aggregated level. D. Transactions between related parties 3.36. Information on the value of all transactions between related parties is helpful in understanding the degree to which globalization of services supply is taking place. The present <strong>Manual</strong> therefore recommends that data on transactions in services separately identify transactions with related enterprises and transactions with unrelated enterprises. Although that breakdown would be most informative at the level of the detailed EBOPS classification, it is recognized that this could place a large burden on both suppliers and compilers of data and could also pose additional problems of confidentiality. Therefore, the present <strong>Manual</strong> recommends that such a breakdown be made only at the
