  NOTAS EXPLICATIVAS SOBRE LA PRIMERA OFERTA  
REVISADA DE MONTEGRO PARA EL APÉNDICE I 
1  INTRODUCCIÓN La oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice  I se distribuyó el 4 de noviembre de 2013. Los 
debates sustantivos sobre esa oferta tuvieron lugar en el curso de varias reuniones bilaterales 
entre una delegación de Montenegro venida de la capital y varias Partes en el ACP, celebradas en Ginebra (Suiza) los días 18 y 19 de noviembre de 2013, antes de las reuniones informales del 
Comité de Contratación Pública que tuvieron lugar el 20 de noviembre de 2013. Se celebraron 
reuniones bilaterales con las delegaciones del Japón; los Estados Unidos; Suiza; la Unión Europea; Noruega; el Taipei Chino; el Canadá; Israel; Hong Kong, China y Singapur. 
Las Partes en el ACP acogieron con entusiasmo  la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el 
Apéndice I. Se valoró particularmente que Montenegro hubiera presentado una oferta de 
cobertura extraordinariamente amplia  que comprendía todas las entidades del gobierno 
central, todas las autoridades de los gobiernos subcentrales, todas las empresas de propiedad 
estatal y todas las empresas de servicios públicos abarcadas por la Ley de Contratación Pública de 
Montenegro. En lo que respecta a los tipos de contratación, Montenegro incluye, en principio, en su oferta todas las mercancías (con excepción de determinadas mercancías adquiridas por el 
Ministerio de Defensa y organismos encargados de actividades de defensa o de seguridad en 
Montenegro), todos los servicios y todos los trabajos de construcción. Montenegro establece en la oferta los siguientes umbrales monetarios (normales) (en DEG): 
ANEXO 1 ANEXO  2 ANEXO 3 
Mercancías Servicios Servicios de 
construcción Mercancías Servicios Servicios  de

construcción 
130.000 130.000 5.000.000 200.000 200.000 5.000.000 400.000 400.000 5.000.000 
 
Dada la adhesión prevista de Montenegro a la Un ión Europea (UE), las Partes en el ACP valoraron 
el hecho de que Montenegro hubiera utilizado en su oferta inicial una estructura lo más próxima 
posible a la oferta de la Unión Europea para el Apéndice I. Se consideró que el proceso en dos 
etapas  a d o p t a d o  e n  l a  o f e r t a  i n i c i a l  d e  M o n t e n e g r o  p a r a  e l  A p é n d i c e  I  ( c o n  a r r e g l o  a l  c u a l  s e  
definen la cobertura antes de la adhesión a la UE y la cobertura una vez que haya tenido lugar la 
adhesión a la UE) era la mejor manera de proceder  y el mejor enfoque desde el punto de vista 
de la transparencia . 
2  RESULTADOS DE LAS REUNIONES BILATERALES 
En las reuniones bilaterales se puso de manifiesto que la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el 
Apéndice I se consideraba muy positiva, aunque había margen para algunas mejoras técnicas . 
En relación con los ajustes de la cobertura derivados de la proyectada adhesión de Montenegro a 
la Unión Europea, se consideró que era esencial lograr el máximo grado posible de seguridad 
jurídica  y transparencia . 
A tal fin, Montenegro ha revisado su oferta inicial para el Apéndice I basándose en las distintas 
observaciones formuladas para mejorarla. En la (p rimera) oferta revisada de Montenegro para el 
Apéndice I se reflejan todas esas observaciones. Las adiciones a la of erta de Montenegro 
figuran en negritas subrayadas; las omisiones, en negritas tachadas.

 3  MODIFICACIONES DE LA PRIMERA OFERTA REVISADA DE MONTENEGRO PARA EL 
APÉNDICE I RESPECTO DE SU OFERTA INICIAL 
3.1  Anexo 1 
a. En la nota de pie de página número 1 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el 
Apéndice I se hacía referencia a las entidades del gobierno central de Montenegro que 
estarían abarcadas una vez que el país se hubiera adherido a la UE. Una particularidad de la oferta de la UE para el Apéndice I es que determinadas entidades del gobierno 
central de ciertos Estados miembros de la UE están marcadas con un asterisco o un 
doble asterisco, cuyo objeto es indicar si la contratación de una determinada entidad del 
gobierno central de un determinado Estado miembro de la UE debe abrirse a los 
proveedores de bienes o servicios de una determinada Parte en el ACP. 
b. En la nota de pie de página número 1 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el 
Apéndice I se indica que los asteriscos de la lista adjunta de entidades del gobierno central montenegrino serán notificados por la UE a las demás Partes en el ACP 
(inmediatamente después de la adhesión de Montenegro a la UE) y, en su caso, serán 
objeto de consultas. 
c. Determinadas Partes en el ACP señalaron que ese enfoque suscitaba preocupaciones 
relativas a la seguridad jurídica. El motivo de esas preocupaciones era que sería 
necesario especificar ulteriormente la lista exacta de las entidades gubernamentales que quedarían abarcadas después de la adhesión de Montenegro a la UE (es decir, hasta entonces no se sabría claramente cómo se modificaría la lista de entidades abarcadas del 
gobierno central de Montenegro). 
d. A petición de determinadas Partes en el ACP, Montenegro decidió abandonar el "método 
de los asteriscos" propuesto. Por consiguiente, no se marcará con asterisco (o doble 
asterisco) ninguna de las entidades en la lista de entidades del gobierno central 
montenegrino adjunta al Anexo 1 de la oferta de Montenegro para el Apéndice I. Esto 
significa que cuando Montenegro se adhi era a la UE no habrá ningún cambio en 
la cobertura de entidades consignada en el Anexo 1 . Todas las entidades del 
gobierno central seguirán estando abarcadas por la oferta de Montenegro para el Apéndice I una vez que Montenegro se haya adherido a la UE. Este método proporciona la máxima seguridad jurídica y la máxima transparencia. 
e. En aras de la uniformidad con la estructura de la oferta de la UE para el Apéndice I, 
Montenegro decidió mantener en la sección B del Anexo 1 de su oferta revisada para el Apéndice I exactamente la misma redacción em pleada en el Anexo I de la oferta de 
la UE para el Apéndice I. Se modificó la nota de pie página número 1 de la oferta 
revisada de Montenegro para el Apéndice I a fin de dejar claro que en el futuro no se marcará con asterisco o doble asterisco ninguna autoridad del gobierno central. 
f. En la nota 2 al Anexo 1 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se declara: 
"The condition specified in the General Notes to this Annex apply." (Son de aplicación las condiciones especificadas en las notas generales al presente Anexo.) La nota es redundante, dado que las notas generales (Anexo 7) se aplican en cualquier caso a la 
oferta de Montenegro para el Apéndice I. Por lo tanto, a petición de determinadas Partes 
en el ACP, se suprimió. 
g. Con respecto a la cobertura del Anexo I, Montenegro optó por una definición de las 
entidades y una referencia a sendas listas indicativas (una que puede consultarse en 
Internet y otra adjunta al Anexo 1). Aunque en la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se declara que está abarcado lo siguiente: "All Central Government Entities" 
(Todas las entidades del gobierno central), algunas Partes en el ACP propusieron añadir 
a la lista adjunta al Anexo 1 más ejemplos de entidades del gobierno central abarcadas. Por lo tanto, Montenegro añadió casi 30 entidades del gobierno central a la lista adjunta al Anexo I. Se reitera que dicha lista no es exhaustiva; están abarcadas todas las 
entidades del gobierno central de Montenegro. GPA/ACC/MNE/3

  3.2  Anexo 2 
a. En la parte A.1. del Anexo 2 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se 
declara que está abarcado lo siguiente: "All sub-central government entities (local self-government units) and subordinated orga nizations covered by the Law on Public 
Procurement of Montenegro" (Todas las en tidades de los gobiernos subcentrales 
(unidades de autogobierno territoriales) y sus organismos dependientes abarcados por la Ley de Contratación Pública de Montenegro). Una Parte en el ACP propuso que se 
reformulara esta sección siguiendo el modelo del Anexo 1 (en el que se declara 
simplemente que todas las autoridades del gobierno central están abarcadas por el Anexo 1). Por lo tanto, Montenegro decidió reformular el texto de la manera propuesta (es decir, declarando que está abarcado lo siguiente: "All sub-central government 
entities (local self-government units) and subordinated organizations." (Todas las 
entidades de los gobiernos subcentrales (unidades de autogobierno territoriales) y sus organismos dependientes)). 
b. Con respecto a la cobertura del Anexo 2, Montenegro optó por una definición de las 
entidades y una referencia a una lista indicativa (que puede consultarse en Internet). Algunas Partes en el ACP propusieron que se adjuntara al Anexo 2 una lista indicativa de 
entidades de los gobiernos subcentrales abarcadas. Por lo tanto, Montenegro enumeró 
aproximadamente 40 entidades de los gobiernos subcentrales en una lista indicativa adjunta al Anexo 2. Se reitera que la lista adjunta al Anexo 2 no es exhaustiva. Están abarcadas todas las entidades de los gobiernos subcentrales y todos los organismos de 
derecho público, según se definen en la Le y de Contratación Pública de Montenegro. 
c. Se incluyeron en el Anexo 2 de la oferta re visada de Montenegro para el Apéndice I las 
correspondientes referencias a la lista adjunta al Anexo 2 (véanse la parte A.1 y la 
parte A.2 del Anexo 2). 
d. En la parte B del Anexo 2 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se 
declara: "Upon Montenegro's eventual accessi on to the European Union, this Annex will 
be merged with Annex 2 of the European Un ion's Appendix I" (Una vez que Montenegro 
se haya adherido a la Unión Europea, este Anexo se fundirá con el Anexo 2 del Apéndice I de la Unión Europea). Algunas partes en el ACP propusieron que se sustituyeran las palabras "merged with" (se fundirá con) por "substituted by" (será 
sustituido por). Montenegro decidió reform ular el texto de la manera propuesta. 
e. En la nota 1 al Anexo 2 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se declara: 
"The condition specified in the General Notes to this Annex apply." (Son de aplicación las 
condiciones especificadas en las notas generales al presente Anexo.) La nota es 
redundante, dado que las notas generales (Anexo 7) se aplican en cualquier caso a la oferta de Montenegro para el Apéndice I. Por lo tanto, a petición de determinadas Partes 
en el ACP, se suprimió. 
3.3  Anexo 3 
a. Con respecto a la cobertura del Anexo 3, Montenegro optó por una definición de las 
entidades y una referencia a una lista indicativa (que puede consultarse en Internet). 
Determinadas Partes en el ACP propusieron que se adjuntara al Anexo 3 una lista 
indicativa de las "otras entidades cuya contratación está abarcada por el presente Acuerdo". Por lo tanto, Montenegro enumeró más de 10 de esas "otras entidades" en 
una lista indicativa adjunta al Anexo 3. Se reitera que la lista adjunta al Anexo 3 no es 
exhaustiva. Están abarcadas todas las "otras entidades", según se definen en la Ley de Contratación Pública de Montenegro. 
b. En la parte B del Anexo 3 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se 
declara: "Upon Montenegro's eventual accessi on to the European Union, this Annex will 
be merged with Annex 3 of the European Un ion's Appendix I" (Una vez que Montenegro 
se haya adherido a la Unión Europea, este Anexo se fundirá con el Anexo 3 del 
Apéndice I de la Unión Europea). Algunas partes en el ACP propusieron que se GPA/ACC/MNE/3

sustituyeran las palabras "merged with" (se fundirá con) por "substituted by" (será 
sustituido por). Montenegro decidió reform ular el texto de la manera propuesta. 
c. En la nota 1 al Anexo 3 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se declara: 
The condition specified in the General Notes to this Annex apply." (Son de aplicación las 
condiciones especificadas en las notas generales al presente Anexo). La nota es 
redundante, dado que las notas generales (Anexo 7) se aplican en cualquier caso a la oferta de Montenegro para el Apéndice I. Por lo tanto, a petición de determinadas Partes 
en el ACP, se suprimió. 
3.4  Anexo 4 
a. En la nota 1 al Anexo 4 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se declara: 
"The condition specified in the General Notes to this Annex apply." (Son de aplicación las 
condiciones especificadas en las notas generales al presente Anexo). La nota es 
redundante, dado que las notas generales (Anexo 7) se aplican en cualquier caso a la oferta de Montenegro para el Apéndice I. Por lo tanto, a petición de determinadas Partes 
en el ACP, se suprimió. 
b. En la parte B del Anexo 4 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se 
declara: "Upon Montenegro's eventual accessi on to the European Union, this Annex will 
be merged with Annex 3 of the European Un ion's Appendix I" (Una vez que Montenegro 
se haya adherido a la Unión Europea, este Anexo se fundirá con el Anexo 3 del Apéndice I de la Unión Europea). Algunas partes en el ACP propusieron que se sustituyeran las palabras "merged with" (se fundirá con) por "substituted by" (será 
sustituido por). En este caso, Montenegro decidió no reformular el texto, ya que en el 
punto 2 del Anexo 4 se hace referencia explícita al Ministerio de Defensa y los organismos encargados de actividades de defensa o de seguridad en Montenegro que 
será necesario añadir al punto 2 del Anexo 4 de la UE (en el punto 2 del Anexo 4 de 
la UE se enumeran los Estados miembros de la  UE) cuando haya tenido lugar la adhesión 
de Montenegro a la UE. 
3.5  Anexo 5 
a. En la nota 6 al Anexo 5 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se declara: 
"The condition specified in the General Notes to this Annex apply." (Son de aplicación las condiciones especificadas en las notas generales al presente Anexo). La nota es 
redundante, dado que las notas generales (Anexo 7) se aplican en cualquier caso a la 
oferta de Montenegro para el Apéndice I. Por lo tanto, a petición de determinadas Partes en el ACP, se suprimió. 
b. En la nota 7 al Anexo 5 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se declara: 
"Upon Montenegro's eventual accession to the European Union, this Annex will be merged with Annex 5 of the European Union' s Appendix I." (Una vez que Montenegro se 
haya adherido a la Unión Europea, este Anexo se fundirá con el Anexo 5 del Apéndice I 
de la Unión Europea). Algunas partes en el ACP propusieron que se sustituyeran las palabras "merged with" (se fundirá con) por "substituted by" (será sustituido por). Montenegro decidió reformular el texto de la manera propuesta. 
3.6  Anexo 6 
a. Algunas Partes en el ACP propusieron que se añadiera "CPC" en el punto A del Anexo 6. 
Montenegro decidió añadir el texto propuesto. 
b. En la nota 2 al Anexo 6 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se declara: 
"The condition specified in the General Notes to this Annex apply." (Son de aplicación las condiciones especificadas en las notas generales al presente Anexo). La nota es 
redundante, dado que las notas generales (Anexo 7) se aplican en cualquier caso a la 
oferta de Montenegro para el Apéndice I. Por lo tanto, se suprimió. GPA/ACC/MNE/3

  3.7  Anexo 7 
a. Algunas Partes en el ACP adujeron que la s excepciones previstas en el punto 3 del 
Anexo 7 podían suprimirse. La razón alegada era que esas excepciones ya estaban abarcadas por el texto jurídico del ACP revisado (es decir, que no era necesario excluir 
del ámbito de aplicación algo que ya estaba excluido en virtud del texto jurídico 
del ACP). 
i. En el primer punto de la nota 3 al Anexo 7 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el 
Apéndice I se declara que no está abarcado lo siguiente: "procurement aimed at 
protection and recovery from catastrophes and major disasters – state of emergency" (la contratación destinada a la protección y recuperación en caso de catástrofes y graves desastres – estado de emergencia). Varias Partes en el ACP 
pidieron que se suprimiera esa excepción, ha bida cuenta del párrafo 2 del artículo III 
(Seguridad y excepciones generales) y el párrafo 1 d) del artículo XIII (Licitación restringida) del ACP revisado. Montenegro decidió suprimir el primer punto de la

excepciones generales) del texto revisado del ACP. Montenegro decidió suprimir el 
segundo punto de la nota 3 al Anexo 7 de su oferta inicial para el Apéndice I de conformidad con la petición de las Partes en el ACP. 
iii. En el tercer punto de la nota 3 al Anexo 7 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el
