MODIFICATIONS DE L'APPENDICE 1 CONCERNANT LE JAPON 
 
Notifications du Japon au titre de l'article XXIV:6 a
)1 
   Le Secrétariat a reçu, le 12 juillet 2000, la notification ci-après de la Mission permanente du 
Japon, qui lui a demandé de la distribuer aux Par ties à l'Accord sur les marchés publics (1994). 
 
_______________ 
 
 Conformément à l'article XXIV, paragraphe 6 a), de l'Accord de l'OMC sur les marchés 
publics, le gouvernement japonais s ouhaite notifier au Comité des ma rchés publics la rectification de 
pure forme ci-après se rapportant à l'annexe 1 de l'Appendice 1 de l'Accord:   - Supprimer "Financial Supervisory Agency" (Agence de surveillance financière);  et 
  - Ajouter "Financial Services Agen cy" (Agence des services financiers). 
 
 Cette rectification résulte du fait que, le 1
er juillet 2000, l'"Agence de  surveillance financière" 
a été restructurée et rebaptisée "Agence des services financiers".  Elle ne modifie pas le niveau du champ d'application mutuellement convenu de l'Accord.  
 En conséquence, les pages 1/3 et 2/3 de l'annexe 1 de l'Appe ndice 1 concernant le Japon, dans 
le système à feuillets mobiles pour les Appendices, devraient être modifiées comme cela est indiqué à l'annexe A du présent document (texte souligné).   L'annexe B contient les pages considérées du 
système à feuillets mobiles telles qu'elles se prés enteront une fois les modifications acceptées.

1 L'article XXIV:6 a) dispose ce qui suit:  "S'ils sont  de pure forme ou mineurs, les rectifications, 
transferts ou autres modifications pr endront effet à la condition qu'aucune objection n'ait été faite dans un délai 
de 30 jours.  Dans les autres cas, le Président du Comi té convoquera le Comité dans les moindres délais.  Le 
Comité examinera la proposition et toute demande d'ajustements compensatoires, afin de préserver l'équilibre 
des droits et des obligations et de maintenir le cham p d'application mutuellement convenu du présent accord à 
un niveau comparable à son niveau antérieur à la notific ation.  S'il n'est pas possible d'arriver à un accord, la 
question pourra être traitée ensuite selon les dispositions de l'article XXII."
