 4. Any terms of accession to the 1994 Agreement agr eed after the date of this Decision, pursuant

  ANNEX A 
 
DECISION OF THE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT ON 
NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER ARTICLES XIX AND XXII  
OF THE AGREEMENT 
 
[Decision of 30 March 2012] 
 
 
The Committee on Government Procurement, 
Considering  the importance of transparency of la ws and regulations relevant to this 
Agreement, including changes thereto as re quired by Article XXII:5 of the Agreement;  
Considering  also the importance of maintaining accurate lists of entities covered under a 
Party's Annexes to Appendix I of the Agreement, in accordance with Article XIX of the Agreement; 
Acknowledging the challenges to Parties of submitting timely notifications to the Committee 
of changes to their laws and regulations relevant to the Agreement, as required by Article XXII:5 of 
the Agreement, and of proposed rectifications to its Annexes to Appendix I, as required by 
Article XIX:1 of the Agreement; 
Considering  that the provisions of Article XIX of the Agreement distinguish between 
notifications of proposed rectifications that do not change the mutually agreed coverage provided for 
in the Agreement and other types of proposed modifications of its Annexes to Appendix I; 
Recognizing that technological changes have allowed many Parties to make use of electronic 
means to provide information on their government procurement regimes and to notify Parties of 
changes to that regime; 
Hereby decides  as follows: 
Annual Notifications of Chang es in Laws and Regulations 
 
1. Where a Party maintains officially designated electronic media that provide links to its current 
laws and regulations relevant to this Agreement and its laws and re gulations are available in one of 
the WTO official languages, and such media are listed in Appendix II, the Party may fulfil the requirement in Article XXII:5 by notifying the Comm ittee annually, at the end of the year, of any 
changes unless such changes are substa ntive, that is, they may affect the Party's obligations under the 
Agreement;  and in such cases, a notification shall be made immediately. 
 
2. The Parties shall have an opportunity to discuss the annual notification of a Party during the first informal meeting of the Committee in the following year.  Proposed Rectifications of a Party's Annexes to Appendix 1 
 3. The following changes to a Pa rty's Annexes to Appendix I shall be considered a rectification 
under Article XIX of the Agreement: 
(a) a change in the name of an entity; (b) merger of two or more entities listed within an Annex;  and GPA/W/316 
Page 428  
 
  (c) the separation of an entity listed in an Annex into two or more entities that are all 
added to the entities listed in the same Annex. 
4. In the case of proposed rectifications to a Party's Annexes under A ppendix I covered under 
paragraph 3, the Party shall notify the Committee every two years, commencing with the entry into force of the Protocol of Amendment to the Existing (1994) Agreement. 
5. A Party may notify the Committee of an objection to a proposed rectification within 45 days 
from the date of the circulation to the Parties of the notification.  In accordance with Article XIX:2, 
where a Party submits an objection, it shall set out the reasons for the objection, including the reasons 
why it believes the proposed rectification would affect the mutually agreed coverage under the 
Agreement and therefore the proposed rectification is not subject to paragraph 3.  If there is no written
