DECISION ON IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE XXIV:2 OF
THE AGREEMENT ON GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT
1. Ministers invite the Committee on Government Procurement to clarify
that:
(i) a Member interested in accession according to Article XXIV:2
would communicate its interest to the Director-General,
submitting relevant information, including an offer by way of a
list of entities having regard to the relevant provisions of the
Agreement, in particular Article I and, where appropriate,
Article V;
(ii) the communication would be circulated to Parties to the
Agreement;
(iii)the Member interested in accession would hold consultations with
the Parties on the terms for its accession to the Agreement;
(iv) with a view to facilitating accession, the Committee would
establish a working party if the Member in question, or any of
the Parties to the Agreement, so requests. The working party
should examine: (a) the offer made by the applicant Member;
and (b) relevant information pertaining to export opportunities
in the markets of the Parties, taking into account the existing
and potential export capabilities of the applicant Member and
export opportunities for the Parties in the market of the
applicant Member;
(v) upon a decision by the Committee agreeing to the terms of
accession including the list of entities, the acceding Member
would deposit with the Director-General of the MTO an instrument
of accession which states the terms so agreed. Until the entry
into force of the Agreement Establishing the MTO, the instrument
would be deposited with the Director-General to the CONTRACTING
PARTIES to the GATT. The text of the acceding Member's list of
entities in English, French and Spanish would be annexed to the
Agreement.
2. It is noted that the Committee decisions are arrived at on the basis
of consensus. It is also noted that the non-application clause of Article
XXIV:11 is available to any Party.
