Comité de Contratación Pública  Original: inglés  
 
   ADHESIÓN DE NUEVA ZELANDIA AL 
ACUERDO SOBRE CONTRATACIÓN PÚBLICA 
OFERTA FINAL 
Se ha recibido de la delegación de Nueva Zelandia la siguiente comunicación, de fecha 21 de julio 
de 2014.  
_______________ 
  1.  En septiembre de 2012, Nueva Zelandia presentó su solicitud de adhesión al Acuerdo sobre 
Contratación Pública (ACP) revisado de la OMC, sus respuestas a la lista recapitulativa de 
preguntas y su oferta inicial para el Apéndice I. Después de esa fecha, Nueva Zelandia ha presentado sus ofertas revisadas primera y segunda para el Apéndice I, en septiembre y 
noviembre de 2013. 
2.  El examen de la cobertura adicional propuesta y de otras posibles mejoras de la segunda oferta 
revisada de Nueva Zelandia para el Apéndice I tuvo lugar en reuniones bilaterales celebradas los 
días 24 y 25 de junio de 2014 en Ginebra (Suiza), así como entre períodos de sesiones, antes y 
después de esas fechas, y muchas Partes indicaron su acuerdo de principio con el paquete final propuesto. 
3.  De acuerdo con los compromisos contraídos en ese examen y como resultado de otras 
conversaciones con algunas Partes, la oferta final de Nueva Zelandia para el Apéndice I incluye las 
siguientes mejoras y aclaraciones: 
Anexo 1 
 Actualización del nombre del Ministerio de Desarrollo Maorí a "Te Puni Kokiri Ministry of 
Maori Development". 
 Supresión de la expresión " provided that such agency does not have a separate legal 
personality " (siempre que ese organismo no teng a personalidad jurídica separada), 
según lo solicitado por algunas Partes. 
 
Anexo 2 
 Ampliación de la cobertura para incluir tres consejos municipales y cuatro consejos 
regionales con respecto a la contratación relativa a proyectos de transporte financiados por la Administración de Transportes de Nueva Zelandia. 
 Adición de una nota que aclara que la contratación por las Juntas de Salud de Distrito 
realizada a través de su agente healthAlliance Limited, está abarcada. 
 Supresión en las notas de la frase " Procurement procedures substantially equivalent to 
the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement shall apply " (Se aplicarán 
procedimientos de contratación sustancialmente equivalentes al Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública de la OMC), según lo solicitado por algunas Partes.

  Anexo 3 
 Adición de cuatro empresas de propiedad estatal, con dos exclusiones limitadas y una 
aclaración relativa a Transpower New Zealand Limited. 
 La nota relativa a la contratación de servicios de gestión de fondos de pensiones, 
seguros públicos y depósito de fondos, inversiones y servicios financieros relacionados 
con los valores o las actividades en bolsa se ha desplazado del anexo 5 al anexo 3, y se refiere a Accident Compensation Corporation. 
 
Anexo 7 
 Supresión de la nota que excluye " Procurement of storage or hosting of government 
data and related services " (contratación de servicios de almacenamiento u hospedaje de 
datos gubernamentales y servicios conexos), según lo solicitado por algunas Partes. 
4.  Estas mejoras hacen que el valor de la contratación llevada a cabo por las entidades incluidas 
en la oferta ascienda aproximadamente a 22.400 millones de dólares neozelandeses al año. 
5.  Habida cuenta de lo anterior y a la luz de las declaraciones de varias Partes en el ACP, 
Nueva Zelandia presenta a continuación su oferta final para el Apéndice I (es decir, las condiciones finales de la adhesión de Nueva Zelandia al Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública de la OMC 
revisado) y pide a todas las Partes en el ACP que examinen su oferta favorablemente cuanto antes 
convenga al Comité. 
6.  La información que debe incluirse en los Apéndices II, III y IV de Nueva Zelandia se facilitará a 
más tardar en el momento de la presentación  del instrumento de adhesión al Acuerdo de 
Nueva Zelandia. 
7.  Nueva Zelandia entiende que el Comité de Cont ratación Pública tiene el objetivo común de 
llegar a una pronta conclusión de la adhesión de Nueva Zelandia al ACP, de ser posible en julio 
de 2014. Nueva Zelandia comparte este objetivo.
