MODIFICATIONS PROPOSÉES DE L'APPENDICE I 
CONCERNANT LE JAPON  
 
Communication présentée par le Japon au titre de l'article XXIV:6 a)
1 de 
l'Accord sur les marchés publics  
 
  La communication ci-après, datée du 6 avril 2010, est distribuée à la demande de la 
délégation du Japon.  
_______________ 
 
 1. Conformément à l'article XXIV, paragraphe 6 a), de l'Accord sur les marchés publics 
(ci-après l'"Accord"), le gouvern ement japonais notifie au Comité des marchés publics les 
modifications de pure forme ci-après qu'il propo se d'apporter à l'Annexe 3 de l'Appendice I de 
l'Accord: 
Annexe 3 
 
 Ajouter les six entités suivantes à la " Liste des entités  (Groupe B)" et à la " Liste des entités 
qui passent des marchés portant su r les services spécifiés à l'Annexe 4  (Groupe B)", respectivement: 
 
 - National Cancer Center  - National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center  - National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry  - National Center for Global Health and Medicine  - National Center for Child Health and Development 
 - National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology. 
 2. Les modifications susmentionnées déc oulent des changements suivants: 
1) Dans le cadre de la réforme administrative du Japon, six Centres nationaux de soins médicaux 
professionnels avancés (c'est-à-dire rattachés au Mini stère de la santé, du travail et du bien-être 
                                                     
 
1 L'article XXIV:6 a) dispose ce qui suit:  Rectifications ou modifications  a) Les rectifications, les 
transferts d'une entité d'une Annexe à une autre ou, dans  des cas exceptionnels, les autres modifications se 
rapportant aux Appendices I à IV se ront notifiés au Comité, accompagnés de renseignements concernant les 
conséquences probables du changement  pour le champ d'application mutue llement convenu du présent accord.  
S'ils sont de pure forme ou mineurs, les rectifications, transferts ou autres modifications prendront effet à la 
condition qu'aucune objection n'y ait été faite dans un délai de 30 jours.  Dans les autres cas, le Président du Comité convoquera le Comité dans les moindres délais.  Le Comité examinera la proposition et toute demande 
d'ajustements compensatoires, afin de préserver l'équilibre des droits et des obligations et de maintenir le champ 
d'application mutuellement convenu du présent accord à un niveau compar able à son niveau antérieur à la 
notification.  S'il n'est pas possible d'arriver à un acco rd, la question pourra être  traitée ensuite selon les 
dispositions de l'article XXII. GPA/MOD/JPN/47

  figurant à l'Annexe 1) ont été réorganisés conforméme nt à la "Loi portant établissement d'institutions 
administratives indépendantes menant des activités de  recherche dans le domaine des soins médicaux 
professionnels avancés".  Cette modificati on organisationnelle a pris effet le 1
er avril 2010.  Les 
nouveaux Centres nationaux susmentionnés ont été étab lis en tant qu'institutions administratives 
indépendantes (IAI) et mèneront les activités héritées des anciens Centres nationaux. 
 
2) Comme ces nouveaux Centres nationaux sont dot és d'une personnalité juridique distincte de 
celle du gouvernement central, ne font pas partie des entités du gouvernement central visées par la Loi 
sur les comptes de la nation et qu'ils ne sont pas assujettis à la Loi d'organisation des pouvoirs publics, 
ils devraient être ajoutés au Groupe B de l'Annexe  3 du Japon.  Pour le Gr oupe B de l'Annexe 3, 
l'Accord sera appliqué avec les mêmes valeurs de seuils et conditions que celles qui sont indiquées 
dans l'Annexe 1 pour les entités du gouvernement central.  Par conséquent, ces modifications n'altèrent pas le niveau du champ d'application mutuellement 
convenu de l'Accord. 
 
3. La pièce jointe A du présent document indique les modifications que le Japon propose, sur la 
base de la présente notification, d'apporter aux pa ges correspondantes de l'Annexe 3 (pages 2/5 et 4/5) 
de l'Appendice I.  La pièce jointe B contient les pages en question telles qu'elles se présenteront après 
que les modifications proposées, sur la base de la  présente notification, y auront été apportées.

4. Le gouvernement japonais encourag e la réforme administrative (par exemple, la modification 
organisationnelle susmentionnée a été décidée en ve rtu de la Loi sur la promotion de la réforme 
administrative en vue de la mise en place d'une administration efficace et de taille modeste en 
juin 2006).  Si de ce fait, des modifications d es Annexes de l'Accord concernant le Japon sont 
nécessaires, le Japon les notifiera au Comité.
