 ACCESSION TO THE AGREEMENT ON GOVERNMENT  
PROCUREMENT OF UKRAINE 
FINAL OFFER 
The following communication, dated 26 June 2015, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of Ukraine.  
_______________ 
 
 Dear Mr Newham,  
 
The Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the WT O presents his compliments to the Chairman of 
the Committee on Government Procurement. 
 
Further to the commitment made at the time of Ukraine's accession to the WTO, it is recalled that Ukraine submitted its application for accession, its replies to the Checklist of Issues, Ukraine's initial Appendix I offer, Ukraine's 1
st revised Appendix I offer, Ukraine's 2nd revised Appendix I 
offer, Ukraine's 3rd revised Appendix I offer as well as Ukraine's draft final Appendix I offer. 
 Discussion of Ukraine's draft final Appendix I offer took place over the course of bilateral meetings 
on 1-2 June 2015 in Geneva, Switzerland. It is our understanding that, according to the outcome 
of the meeting of the GPA committee on 3 June 2015, Ukraine's draft final Appendix I offer is 
acceptable for all GPA Parties.  
 
With this background and following statements of both various GPA Parties as well as the WTO Secretariat, Ukraine herewith submits its final offer (i.e. the final terms of accession of Ukraine to the revised WTO agreement on government procurement including Appendices I-IV) 
and requests the favourable consideration of all GPA Parties. In this respect, it should be noted 
that the final Appendix I offer of Ukraine correspon ds word for word with its draft final Appendix I 
offer. 
 
Ukraine understands that it is the GPA committee’s common goal to reach a prompt conclusion of Ukraine’s GPA accession. Ukraine supports this goal. 
 
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank you and the GPA Parties for our good working relationship. Ukraine is eager to continue the cooperation with GPA Parties as part of the GPA family. 
 
Yours sincerely,  
Aivaras Abromavicius 
Head of Delegation of Ukraine  GPA/ACC/UKR/25
