  NOTAS EXPLICATIVAS SOBRE LA SEGUNDA OFERTA REVISADA 
DE MONTENEGRO PARA EL APÉNDICE I 
Montenegro entiende que algunas Partes en el AC P expresaron preocupaciones acerca del enfoque 
en dos etapas durante las reuniones bilaterales celebradas los días 10 y 11 de marzo de 2014. 
Esas Partes sugirieron eliminar la Lista A y presentar una única oferta lo más parecida posible 
a la Lista de la UE para el Apéndice I (es decir, presentar una oferta que se corresponda solamente con la Lista B). Montenegro señaló expresamente su disposición a revisar su oferta para 
el Apéndice I en consecuencia y a presentar una Lista que se basara lo más posible en la Lista 
de la UE para el Apéndice I, en caso de que hubiera consenso entre las Partes en el ACP.  La segunda oferta revisada para el Apéndice I que se presenta a continuación prescinde 
de la Lista A y se ha preparado de modo que se parezca lo más posible a la Lista de la UE para 
el Apéndice I. Así pues, Montenegro refleja en gran medida el texto de la Lista de la UE para el Apéndice I. 
 
Habida cuenta de lo anterior, Montenegro pide  a todas las Partes en el ACP que examinen 
su oferta favorablemente y solicita su ayuda para concluir prontamente las negociaciones 
de adhesión al ACP. A este respecto, conviene se ñalar que la cuestión pendiente es de naturaleza 
estrictamente técnica (a nuestro entender, ninguna Parte en el ACP alberga preocupaciones en cuanto al contenido de la primera oferta revisada de Montenegro para el Apéndice I).  
Montenegro confía en seguir cooperando de la manera más constructiva posible con las Partes 
en el ACP.  GPA/ACC/MNE/8
