adoptada el 30 de marzo de  2012 (Apéndice 1 del documento GPA/113, de 2 de ab ril de 2012), y

Considerando  la solicitud de adhesión del Reino Unido al Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública

celebradas con las Pa rtes en el Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública y la documentación adicional

Decide  lo siguiente:  
1. Se reconoce que el Reino Unido estará abarcado por el Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública, 
como Estado m iembro de la Unión Europea, hasta la fecha de su retirada de la Unión Europea o, si 
la Unión Europea y el Reino Unido concluyen un acuerdo que prevea un período de transición durante 
el cual la legislación de la Unión Europea se aplicaría al Reino Unido y dentro de él, hasta la fecha

de la Unión Europea.  
2. De conf ormidad con las disposiciones del párrafo 2 del artículo XXIV del Acuerdo de  1994 y 
del párrafo 2 del artículo XXII del Acuerdo modificado, el Reino Unido podrá adherirse al Acuerdo 
sobre Contratación Pública por derecho propio en las condiciones estableci das en la presente

su instrumento de adhesión ante el Director General en el sentido del párrafo 2 del artícul o XXIV del 
Acuerdo de  1994 y del párrafo 2 del artículo XXII del Acuerdo modificado si, en los 30 días siguientes
