Comité de Contratación Pública Original:  inglés
ENMIENDAS PROPUESTAS POR EL JAPÓN AL APÉNDICE I
Notificaciones del Japón de conformidad con el apartado a)
del párrafo 6 del artículo XXIV
El 4 de marzo de 2002 se recibió la siguiente notificación de la Misión Permanente del Japón
con el ruego de que se distribuyera a las Partes en el Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública.
_______________
De conformidad con el apartado a) del párrafo 6 del artículo XXIV del Acuerdo sobre
Contratación Pública, el Gobierno del Japón des ea notificar al Comité de Contratación Pública la
siguiente rectificación de carácter puramente formal en relación con el Anexo 3 del Apéndice I del
Acuerdo:
- añádase "- Labor Management Organization for USFJ1 Employees " después de
"- National Institute for Environmental Studies " en el grupo B de la Lista de
entidades;  y
- añádase "- Labor Management Organization for USFJ Employees " después de
"- National Institute for Environmental Studies " en el grupo B de la Lista de las
entidades que contratan los servicios que se detallan en el Anexo 4.
Esta rectificación se debe al siguiente cambio de carácter orgánico relacionado con una
entidad del Gobierno central que figura en el Anexo 1.  La rectificación no modifica el nivel del
alcance mutuamente convenido previsto en el Acuerdo.
1. En el proceso de reforma del Gobierno central del Japón (véanse los documentos GPA/W/129
y GPA/W/137), parte de las empresas dirigidas por departamentos de la " Defense Facilities
Administrative Agency " (una organización independiente de la " Defense Agency ", que figura en el
Anexo 1) serán dirigidas por la " Labor Management Organization for USFJ Employees ".
De conformidad con la ley relativa a la " Labor Management Organization for USFJ Employees "
(Ley Nº 217, de 12 de diciembre de 1999) y las órdenes correspondientes, este cambio de carácter
orgánico se aplicará a partir del 1º de abril de 2002.  La " Labor Management Organization for USFJ
Employees " se constituirá como Institución Administrativa Independiente, jurídicamente
independiente del Gobierno, para dirigir de manera eficiente y eficaz  las empresas transferidas.  (Se
adjunta una breve descripción de esta entidad.)
2. Dado que esta nueva organización no figura entre las entidades del Gobierno central sujetas a
la Ley de Cuentas y no está prevista en la Ley Orgánica del Gobierno Nacional ni en la Ley por la que
se establece la Oficina del Gobierno, el Japón ha decidido añadir esta entidad al Anexo 3, relativo

tanto a los suministros como a los servicios (en el grupo B de la Lista de entidades y en la Lista de las
entidades que contratan los servicios que se detallan en el Anexo 4).  De esta manera se le puede
aplicar el Acuerdo con los mismos umbrales y c ondiciones estipulados en el Anexo 1 para  las
entidades del Gobierno central.  Habida cuenta de las actividades que se le han asignado es
improbable que esta entidad contrate municiones.  Por consiguiente, el Japón ha decidido no aplicar la
limitación prevista en la nota 4 del Anexo 1.
3. Esta entidad tendrá sus normas de contabilidad para aplicar los umbrales y procedimientos
pertinentes de conformidad con el Acuerdo.  Las normas de contabilidad se aplicarán a partir del 1º de
abril de 2002.  El procedimiento de impugnación previsto en el artículo XX del Acuerdo se aplicará a
las de contrataciones realizadas por esta entidad, que estará bajo el control de la Oficina del Gobierno.
4. La rectificación mencionada supra  es compatible con la rectificación pertinente notificada por
el Japón (GPA/W/129, de fecha 19 de marzo de 2001), que entró en vigor el 5 de septiembre de 2001
(WT/Let/400).2
                                                     
2 El Japón notificará al Comité rectificaciones si milares del Anexo 3 en relación con las otras dos
Instituciones Administrativas Independientes, que se establecerán en julio de 2002 y en abril de 2003,
respectivamente.GPA/W/186
