ACUERDO SOBRE CONTRATACIÓN PÚBLICA 
OFERTA INICIAL 
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 4 de noviem bre de 2013, se distribuye a petición de la 
delegación de Montenegro. 
_______________ 
La Representante Permanente de Montenegro ante la OMC y Representante Especial ante el 
Consejo de Derechos Humanos de las Naciones Unidas saluda atentamente al Presidente del Comité de Contratación Pública. 
En cumplimiento del compromiso que Montenegro contrajo al adherirse a la OMC, se recuerda que 
ese país presentó su solicitud de adhesión y sus respuestas a la lista recapitulativa de preguntas, 
junto con documentación adicional relativa a su marco legislativo, el 7 de octubre de 2013. Asimismo, durante la sesión informal del Comité de Contratación Pública que se celebró en Ginebra 
del 7 al 9 de octubre, el negociador jefe de Montenegro para la adhesión al ACP hizo una 
declaración sustantiva sobre las reformas que se habían introducido en el sistema de contratación de Montenegro y la armonización de ese sistema con el ACP. 
Durante esa reunión del Comité, tanto el negociador  jefe de Montenegro para la adhesión al ACP 
como yo misma declaramos que nuestro objetivo era adherirnos al ACP antes del final del año en curso, siempre que las negociaciones fueran satisfactorias. 
En virtud de los compromisos asumidos durante la reunión de octubre de 2013 del Comité, 
adjuntamos a la presente comunicación la oferta in icial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I. Téngase 
en cuenta que Montenegro se reserva el derecho de modificar en cualquier momento esa oferta inicial para el Apéndice I (en particular, en lo que se refiere a la estructura de los Anexos 1 a 3). 
Junto con esta carta, presentamos unas breves notas explicativas sobre la oferta inicial de 
Montenegro para el Apéndice I. 
Aprovechamos esta oportunidad para agradecer a usted, Sr. Presidente, y a las Partes en el ACP 
su disposición a colaborar con Montenegro. En particular, les agradecemos las declaraciones 
públicas que hicieron en la reunión de octubre del Comité en apoyo del objetivo de Montenegro de concluir el proceso de adhesión al ACP en 2013. 
Para lograr este objetivo, agradeceríamos que tanto usted, Sr. Presidente, como las Partes en 
el ACP nos siguieran prestando asistencia en este sentido. Dado que nos hemos propuesto concluir 
las negociaciones de adhesión de aquí a finales de 2013, solicitamos por la presente a las Partes en el ACP que nos envíen las observaciones que teng an sobre la oferta inicial de Montenegro para 
el Apéndice I, así como sobre nuestras respuestas a la lista recapitulativa de preguntas, antes de 
la próxima reunión informal del Comité de Contratación Pública que se celebrará en Ginebra del 18 al 20 de noviembre. En esa reunión estará presente una delegación de Montenegro venida 
de la capital. GPA/ACC/MNE/2

  NOTAS EXPLICATIVAS SOBRE LA  
OFERTA INICIAL DE MONTENEGRO PARA EL APÉNDICE I 
1  INTRODUCCIÓN Según el censo más reciente de población, hogares y viviendas, de 2011, Montenegro tiene una 
población de 620.029 habitantes . Según el Banco Mundial, se trata de un país de ingresos 
medianos altos, con un PIB per cápita que ha evolucionado como sigue:  
Año 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 
PIB per cápita 
(en €) 2.912 3.443 4.280 4.908 4.720 5.006 5.211 5.063 
Fuente: MONSTAT 
La contratación pública en Montenegro ha oscila do entre el 18,92% del PIB en 2007 y el 9,72% 
en 2012. En cifras absolutas, en 2012 Montenegro gastó aproximadamente  323 millones de 
euros  en contrataciones públicas. De esos gastos, el 61,98% se destinó a bienes, el 23,94% a 
obras y el 14,08% a servicios. 
2  MARCO JURÍDICO 
La legislación de Montenegro sobre contratación pública se basa en las mejores prácticas 
internacionales en la materia. El marco jurídico de Montenegro sobre contratación pública se ha armonizado sustancialmente con las directivas de contratación pública de la Unión Europea, y se 
elaboró con la ayuda del programa SIGMA (Apoyo a la mejora de la gobernanza y la gestión), 
una iniciativa conjunta de la Unión Europea y la OCDE. Consideramos que la legislación de 
Montenegro en materia de contratación pú blica es plenamente compatible con las 
prescripciones del ACP . Junto con estas notas explicativas, presentamos información 
justificativa para confirmar que la legislación de Montenegro en materia de contratación pública es 
compatible con las mejores normas internacionales de contratación pública (véase European 
Commission , Screening Report Montenegro 2013: Chapter 5 – Public Procurement; disponible en: 
"http://ec.europa.eu/enlargement/pdf/montenegr o/screening_reports/screening_report_monteneg
ro_ch05.pdf "). 
Cabe destacar que la legislación y la práctica de Montenegro en relación con la contratación 
pública no distinguen entre empresas nacion ales y extranjeras. Esto quiere decir que en 
Montenegro las empresas extranjeras re ciben el mismo trato que las empresas 
nacionales cuando participan en procedimientos de licitación pública (principio de no 
discriminación). En consecuencia, las empresas extranjeras tienen acceso al mercado de 
contratación pública de Montenegro en los mismos términos y condiciones aplicables a las 
empresas nacionales (véase asimismo el punto 3 infra). 
En la página Web de la Administración de Contratación Pública de Montenegro 
(http://www.ujn.gov.me/en ) se puede encontrar más información sobre el régimen de 
contratación pública de Montenegro (legislación primaria y secundaria, informes, documentos 
estratégicos, etc.). 
3  RELACIÓN CON LA UNIÓN EUROPEA 
Cuando pasó a formar parte de la OMC en 2012, Montenegro se comprometió a adherirse al ACP 
en diciembre de 2013 a más tardar. Al mismo tiempo, Montenegro es candidato oficial a ingresar en la Unión Europea, y confía en convertirse en miembro de esa Unión en los próximos años. 
A tal efecto, Montenegro decidió presentar una oferta inicial para el Apéndice I lo más cercana 
posible a la oferta de la Unión Europea para el Apéndice I. Asimismo, es necesario definir la 
cobertura para el período comprendido entre l a  a d h e s i ó n  d e  M o n t e n e g r o  a l  A C P  y  l a  
adhesión de Montenegro a la Unión Europea . En consecuencia, algunos Anexos (en particular 
los Anexos 1 a 3) de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se dividen en dos secciones GPA/ACC/MNE/2 
 
- 4 - 
 
  (secciones A y B ). La sección A se refiere a la cobertura de Montenegro antes de su adhesión a la 
Unión Europea, y la sección B a la cobertura de la Unión Europea. La oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I también incluye las notas respectivas de la Unión Europea (notas a los Anexos 1 a 7). De la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se desprende que, cuando 
Montenegro se adhiera a la Unión Europea a) los Anexos de la oferta inicial de 
Montenegro para el Apéndice I se fusionarán  con los Anexos de la oferta inicial de la 
Unión Europea para el Apéndice I;  y b) la s notas respectivas de la Unión Europea sólo 
serán aplicables cuando Montenegro se  haya adherido a la Unión Europea . 
Este enfoque (es decir, el consistente en dividir los Anexos de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para 
el Apéndice I en las secciones A y B y reflejar las notas respectivas de la Unión Europea) se adoptó para evitar conflictos cuando Montenegro  se adhiera a la Unión Europea , y, además, 
porque toda la modificación de la oferta de una Parte en el ACP para el Apéndice I que reduzca el 
acceso a los mercados podría dar lugar, en principio, a reclamaciones de compensación de otras Partes en el ACP. A juicio de Montenegro, la adhesión de Montenegro a la Unión Europea no 
e n t r a ñ a r í a  n i n g u n a  m o d i f i c a c i ó n  d e  l a  o f e r t a  d e  M o n t e n e g r o  p a r a  e l  A p é n d i c e  I ,  y a  q u e  
actualmente en el Apéndice I para Montenegro se establece de forma expresa y plenamente transparente la cobertura (modificada) que regirá  cuando Montenegro pase a formar parte de la 
Unión Europea (no en vano los Anexos de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se 
dividen en las secciones A y B, y las notas reflejan las notas respectivas de la Unión Europea). Consideramos que este enfoque es jurídicamente aceptable y viable. 
4  COBERTURA 
La oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I incluye los siguientes umbrales monetarios 
(normales) : 
ANEXO 1  ANEXO 2  ANEXO 3  
Bienes Servicios Servicios de 
construcción Bienes Servicios Servicios de 
construcción Bienes Servicios Servicios de 
construcción 
130.000 130.000 5.000.000 200.000 200.000 5.000.000 400.000 400.000 5.000.000 
 
La oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I incluye aproximadamente 700 entidades 
contratantes (ministerios, hospitales, escuelas públicas, empresas estatales, aeropuertos, 
proveedores de energía, etc.). La lista de las en tidades abarcadas figura en la página Web de la 
Administración de Contratación Pública de Montenegro ( http://www.ujn.gov.me/en ). Montenegro 
optó por incluir una definición de las entidades y una referencia a una lista indicativa 
principalmente por dos motivos: en primer lugar, ni las actuales Partes en el ACP ni Montenegro 
consideran práctico incluir 700 entidades en su oferta para el Apéndice I. En segundo lugar, 
la intención de Montenegro es que queden incluidas en el ACP también entidades contratantes de reciente creación (por ejemplo, un organismo de  derecho público constituido recientemente con 
arreglo a la Ley de contratación pública de Montenegro, o un nuevo Ministerio), lo que no sería 
posible si en la oferta (inicial) de Montenegro pa ra el Apéndice I se incluyera una lista exhaustiva 
sin definiciones. Montenegro señala que las entidades del Gobierno Central incluyen sus 
subdivisiones regionales y locales, siempre que no tengan carácter industrial o comercial. 
En los Anexos 4 a 6 de la oferta inicial de Montenegro para el Apéndice I se incluyen todos los 
bienes, servicios y servicios de construcción (con la salvedad de las contrataciones sensibles 
del Ministerio de Defensa y de organismos encargados de actividades de defensa de seguridad). 
En el Anexo 7 de la oferta inicial de Monten egro para el Apéndice I se enumeran algunas 
excepciones, que sólo se aplican en circunstancias especiales. En particular, estas excepciones no son pertinentes desde el punto de vista de la cont ratación transfronteriza ya que el valor de las 
contrataciones a las que se aplican es por lo general muy bajo (normalmente del orden de 
10.000 a 50.000 euros) y, por tanto, muy inferior a los umbrales monetarios (normales) 
aplicables del ACP . 
La cobertura se modificará cuando Montenegro se adhiera a la Unión Europea (véase el punto 3). GPA/ACC/MNE/2
