ENMIENDAS DEL APÉNDICE I DEL JAPÓN 
 
Notificaciones del Japón de conformidad con el apartado a)
 
del párrafo 6 del artículo XXIV1 
 
 El 12 de julio de 2000 se r ecibió la siguiente notificación de la Misión Permanente del Japón, 
con la petición de que se distribuyera a las Partes  en el Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública (1994). 
 
_______________ 
 
 De conformidad con el apartado a) del pá rrafo 6 del artículo XXI V del Acuerdo sobre 
Contratación Pública, el Gobierno del Japón desea notificar al Comité de Contratación Pública la 
siguiente rectificación de carácter puramente form al al Anexo 1 del apéndice I del Acuerdo sobre 
Contratación Pública:   - suprímase "Financial Supervisory Agency·"; y  - añádase " Financial Services Agency" 
 
 Esta rectificación obedece al hecho de que el  1º de julio de 2000 la entidad "Financial 
Supervisory Agency" se reestructuró con el nom bre de "Financial Services Agency".  Esta 
rectificación no modifica el alcance mutuamen te convenido previsto en este Acuerdo. 
 
 En consecuencia, habrá que modificar las páginas 1/3 y 2/3 del Anexo 1 del Apéndice I del 
Japón en el sistema de hojas amovibles de los apéndices y también en el Anexo A del presente documento (versión subrayada).  En el Anexo B figu ran las páginas pertinentes del sistema  de hojas 
amovibles tal y como quedarán una vez aceptadas las modificaciones.

1 En el párrafo 6 a) del artículo XXIV se establece lo  siguiente:  "las rectificaciones, transferencias o 
enmiendas de otro tipo de carácter puramente formal o menores surtirán efecto a condición de que en un plazo 
de 30 días no se presente 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 convenido previsto en el pres ente acuerdo antes de la notificación de que se trate.  En caso de que no se llegue a 
un acuerdo, podrá llevarse adelante la cuestión con arreglo a las disposiciones del artículo XXII".
