ENMIENDA AL APÉNDICE I PROPUESTA POR EL JAPÓN  
Comunicación del Japón de conformidad con el
 
párrafo 6 a) del artículo XXIV1 del ACP  
 La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 27 de enero de 2010, se distribuye a petición de la 
delegación del Japón. 
_______________ 
1. De conformidad con el párrafo 6 a) del artículo XXIV del Acuerdo sobre Contratación 
Pública (en adelante "el Acuerdo"), el Gobierno  del Japón notifica por la presente al Comité de 
Contratación Pública la siguiente enmienda de carácter puramente formal propuesta en relación con el Anexo 3 del Apéndice I del Acuerdo: 
Anexo 3 
- Añádase "Japan Pension Service" a la " Lista de entidades  (Grupo B)" y a la " Lista de 
entidades que contratan los servicios indicados en el Anexo 4  (Grupo B)". 
2. La modificación anterior obedece al siguiente cambio:   El Organismo de Seguridad Social era una en tidad independiente del Ministerio de Salud, 
Trabajo y Bienestar Social que figuraba en el Anexo 1.  En el marco de la reforma de ese organismo, 
y con arreglo a la Ley sobre el Servicio de Pensi ones del Japón, se constituyó, el 1º de enero de 2010, 
la entidad "Japan Pension Service". 
 La entidad "Japan Pension Service", persona jurídica pública independiente del Gobierno, se 
ocupa del funcionamiento y la administraci ón del fondo público de pensiones, función que 
desempeñaba anteriormente el Organismo de Seguridad Social. 
 La modificación no altera el nivel del alcance mu tuamente convenido previsto en el Acuerdo.

otro tipo que afecten a los Apéndices I a IV serán notif icadas al Comité, y en la notificación se facilitará 
información en cuanto a las probables consecuencias del cambio en el al cance mutuamente co nvenido previsto 
en el Acuerdo.  Las rectificaciones, transferencias o enmiendas de otro tipo de ca rácter puramente formal o 
menores surtirán efecto a condición de qu e en un plazo de 30 días no se presen te objeción a ellas.  De no ser así, 
el Presidente del Comité convocará prontamente una reunión del Comité.  El Comité examinará la propuesta y 
las posibles demandas de arreglos compensatorios, con el fin de mantener un equilibrio de derechos y 
obligaciones y un nivel comparable del alcance mutuamente conven ido previsto en el presente Acuerdo antes de 
la notificación de que se trate.  En caso de que no se lle gue a un acuerdo, podrá llevarse adelante la cuestión con 
arreglo a las disposiciones del artículo XXII. GPA/MOD/JPN/43
