concernant l'Appendice I. Depuis lors, elle a présenté ses première et deuxième offres révisées 
concernant l'Appendice I en septembre et novembre 2013.  
2. Les discussions sur l'extension proposée du champ d'application et d'autres améliorations 
potentielles de la deuxième offre révisée de la Nouvelle-Zélande concernant l'Appendice I ont eu lieu pendant les réunions bilatérales tenues les 24-25 juin 2014 à Genève (Suisse), ainsi qu'entre 
les réunions du Comité à la fois avant et après ces dates, de nombreuses Parties indiquant leur 
accord de principe pour l'ensemble de textes final proposé.  3. Conformément aux engagements pris lors de ces discussions et à la suite de nouvelles 
discussions avec certaines Parties, l'offre finale de la Nouvelle-Zélande concernant l'Appendice I 
inclut les améliorations et clarifications ci-après:  
Annexe 1 
• Actualisation du nom du Ministère du développement Maori qui devient "Te Puni Kokiri

une personnalité juridique distincte", comme certaines Parties l'ont demandé. 
Annexe 2 
• Extension du champ d'application pour incl ure trois conseils municipaux et quatre 
conseils régionaux en ce qui concerne les marchés relatifs aux projets de transport 
financés par l'Agence des transports de Nouvelle-Zélande. 
• Ajout d'une note précisant que les marchés passés par les conseils sanitaires de district 
énumérés, par l'intermédiaire de leur représentant healthAlliance Limited, sont couverts.

marchés substantiellement équivalentes à l'Accord sur les marchés publics de l'OMC 
seront d'application", comme certaines Parties l'ont demandé. 
Annexe 3

concernant Transpower New Zealand Limited.

victimes d'accident. 
Annexe 7 
• Suppression de la note excluant les "marchés pour le stockage ou l'hébergement des 
données des pouvoirs publics et services connexes", comme certaines Parties l'ont 
demandé. 
4. Ces améliorations portent à environ 22,4 milliards de dollars néo-zélandais par an la valeur 
des marchés passés par les entités incluses dans l'offre. 
 5. Dans ce contexte et compte tenu des déclarations faites par plusieurs Parties à l'AMP, la Nouvelle-Zélande présente ci-après son offre finale concernant l'Appendice I (c'est-à-dire les 
conditions d'accession finales de la Nouvelle-Zélande à l'Accord sur les marchés publics révisé de 
l'OMC) et prie toutes les Parties à l'AMP de lui réserver un accueil favorable à une réunion du Comité qui se tiendrait dans les meilleurs délais. 
 
6. Les renseignements à inclure dans les Appendic es II, III et IV de la Nouvelle-Zélande seront 
communiqués lorsque la Nouvelle-Zélande présentera son instrument d'accession à l'Accord ou 
avant cette date. 
 7. La Nouvelle-Zélande croit comprendre que l' objectif commun du Comité des marchés publics 
est de faire aboutir rapidement son processus d'accession à l'AMP, si possible en juillet 2014. La 
Nouvelle-Zélande souscrit à cet objectif. GPA/ACC/NZL/10
