COMUNICACIÓN DEL JAPÓN DE CONFORMIDAD CON EL 
PÁRRAFO 6 a) DEL ARTÍCULO XXIV1 DEL ACP 
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 12 de febrero de 2014, se distribuye a petición de la 
delegación del Japón. 
 
_______________ 
  
1. De conformidad con el párrafo 6 a) del artículo XXIV del Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública 
(en adelante el "Acuerdo"), el Gobierno del Japón notifica por la presente al Comité de Contratación Pública las siguientes modificaciones de carácter puramente formal en relación con el 
Anexo 1 del Apéndice I del Acuerdo: 
Anexo 1 
 
 Añádase "Specific Personal Information Protection Commission" y "Japan Fair Trade 
Commission" a la " Lista de entidades"  y a la " Lista de entidades que contratan los 
servicios indicados en el Anexo 4 ". 
2. Las modificaciones anteriores obedecen a lo siguiente: 
i. La Comisión para la Protección de Información Personal Específica (Specific Personal 
Information Protection Commission) se estableció como órgano independiente adscrito a la Oficina del Consejo de Ministros el 1º de enero de 2014, de conformidad 
con las leyes internas pertinentes relativas al establecimiento de la Comisión. El 
cometido de la Comisión es adoptar medidas necesarias, tales como impartir orientaciones y asesoramiento a las personas que manejan información personal 
específica para que esto se haga de forma correcta, tomándose en consideración al 
mismo tiempo la utilidad de esa información. 
                                               
1 El párrafo 6 a) del artículo  XXIV establece lo siguiente: Rectificaciones o enmiendas  a) Las 
rectificaciones, las transferencias de entidades de un An exo a otro o, en casos excepcionales, las enmiendas de 
otro tipo que afecten a los Apéndices I a IV serán notifi cadas al Comité, y en la notificación se facilitará 
información en cuanto a las probables consecuencias del cambio en el alcance mutuamente convenido previsto en el Acuerdo. Las rectificaciones, transferencias o enmiendas de otro ti po de carácter puramente formal o 
menores surtirán efecto a condición de que en un plazo de  30 días no se presente ob jeción a ellas. De no ser 
así, el Presidente del Comité co nvocará prontamente una reunión del Comité. El Comité examinará la 
propuesta y las posibles demandas de arreglos comp ensatorios, con el fin de mantener un equilibrio de 
derechos y obligaciones y un nivel comparable del alcance mutuamente convenido previsto en el presente 
Acuerdo antes de la notificación de que se trate. En caso de que no se llegue a un acuerdo, podrá llevarse 
adelante la cuestión con arreglo a las disposiciones del artículo XXII. GPA/MOD/JPN/70

  ii. La Comisión de Comercio Leal del Japón (J apan Fair Trade Commission) es un órgano 
independiente adscrito a la Oficina del Consejo de Ministros desde marzo de 2003. 
Como se estipula en la Nota 1 al Anexo 1 del Apéndice I del Japón, esta Comisión es 
una entidad abarcada, independientemente de que se enumere o no en el Anexo 1. 
Sin embargo, como todos los órganos independientes adscritos a la Oficina del 
Consejo de Ministros (es decir, la Comisión Nacional de Seguridad Pública, el Organismo de Servicios Financieros, la Oficina de Asuntos del Consumidor) están 
enumerados en el Anexo 1, la Comisión de Comercio Leal del Japón se añade al 
Anexo 1 para mayor claridad. 
3. Estas modificaciones no alteran el nivel del alcance mutuamente convenido previsto en el 
Acuerdo. 
4. En el suplemento A del presente documento se muestran las modificaciones de las páginas 
correspondientes del Anexo 1 (1/3 y 2/3) del Apéndice I propuestas por el Japón en esta comunicación. En el suplemento B se indica cómo quedarían dichas páginas una vez introducidas 
las modificaciones propuestas por el Japón en la presente comunicación. Los cambios se indican 
con negrita y subrayado.

5. El Japón tiene la intención de notificar esas mismas modificaciones tras su aceptación del 
Protocolo por el que se modifica el Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública, de conformidad con lo 
dispuesto en el párrafo 1 del artículo XIX del Acuerdo revisado.
