b) the improvement of their access to distribution channels and information networks; and

c) the liberalization of market access in sectors and modes of supply of export interest to them.

2 Developed country Members, and to the extent possible other Members, shall establish contact points within two years from the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement to facilitate the access of developing country Members' service suppliers to information, related to their respective markets, concerning:
