EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.           BACKGROUND

The Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA)[1] is to date the only legally binding agreement in the WTO on the subject of government procurement. Its present version was negotiated in parallel with the Uruguay Round in 1994, and entered into force on 1 January 1996 (the "1994 GPA").

The Parties to the 1994 GPA are: Armenia, Canada, European Union with respect to its 27 Member States, Hong Kong-China, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands with respect to Aruba, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland, Chinese Taipei, United States. It is administered by the Committee on Government Procurement (the “Committee”).

The 1994 GPA has contained a built-in commitment to negotiations on both the text and coverage of the Agreement since its adoption in 1994 (Article XXIV:7(b)). Negotiations to that end were launched in 1999.

The purpose of the negotiations was three-fold: (i) to improve and update the 1994 GPA in the light of developments in information technology and procurement methods; (ii) to extend the coverage of the 1994 GPA; and (iii) to eliminate remaining discriminatory measures.

Negotiations have been conducted by the Commission. The Council was regularly informed orally and in writing about the state of play of the negotiations via the Trade Policy Committee. In addition, co-ordination meetings with Member States were held prior each negotiating session in Geneva. The European Parliament has been informed regularly in writing via the INTA Committee.

In December 2006, GPA Parties reached an understanding on the revision of the text of the 1994 GPA. However, the agreement of the negotiators was provisional in that it was subject to mutually satisfactory outcome of the negotiation on the expansion of coverage (market access; the coverage of the Agreement is determined with regard to each Party in Appendix I to the 1994 GPA).

In February 2007, the Council underlined in its conclusion[2] the importance of a successful and quick conclusion of the then on-going revision of the GPA. It stated that the revision should lead to an overall improvement of access to the procurement markets among GPA members, removing the existing imbalance.

On 30 March 2012 the GPA Parties reached a political agreement and adopted a Decision whereby they adopted the elements of the results of the negotiations (“Decision on the Outcomes of the Negotiations”) consisting of: i) the Protocol amending the Agreement on Government Procurement (the "Protocol") and ii) seven Decisions of the Committee. By means of the Decision on the Outcomes of the Negotiations, the GPA Parties adopted the text of the Protocol and opened it for acceptance by the Parties to the 1994 GPA. The Protocol will enter into force for those Parties to the 1994 GPA that have deposited their respective instruments of acceptance of this Protocol, on the 30th day following such deposit by two thirds of the Parties to the 1994 GPA. Thereafter this Protocol will enter into force for each Party to the 1994 GPA, which has deposited its instrument of acceptance of this Protocol, on the 30th day following the date of such deposit. Any WTO Member wishing to accede to the 1994 GPA will be required to accept to be bound by the Protocol Amending the Agreement on Government Procurement upon its entry into force.

Furthermore, the Decision on the Outcomes of the Negotiations sets out in Appendix 2 seven Decisions of the Committee on Government Procurement establishing future work programmes of the Committee on Government Procurement and detailing notification requirements pursuant to Articles XIX and XXII of the Agreement.

These Decisions form part of the negotiated balance and reflect the GPA Parties commitment to start implementing certain provisions of the revised GPA, as soon as the Protocol enters into force. It was agreed that the Committee at its first meeting after the entry into force of the Protocol would take a decision confirming the political commitment to adopt those Decisions, with an effect as of the date of the entry into force of the Protocol. As both the Protocol and these Decisions are the object of the political agreement adopted in March 2012, they form part of the same package for the purpose of EU ratification of the GPA revision. However as the Committee Decisions are subject to a different internal decision making procedure than the Protocol, a separate Commission proposal is needed with regard to those Decisions.

2.           THE OUTCOME OF THE NEGOTIATION

The Protocol amends the text of the 1994 GPA, as well as its Appendices. It is composed of the Preamble, the amended text of the GPA and of 4 Appendices. It should be recalled that the Agreement does not automatically apply to all government procurement of the Parties. Rather, the coverage of the Agreement is determined with regard to each Party in Appendix I, where each Party’s offer is detailed in different Annexes referring to entities and/or specific sectors covered.

Appendix II to the Agreement lists the publications where Parties make available the applicable procurement rules and procedures. Appendix III lists the publications where Parties make available notices of intended procurement. Appendix IV lists the publications where Parties make available notices concerning awarded contracts and statistics.

2.1.        The revised GPA

The revised GPA text provides for a higher level of clarity and transparency and guarantees equal footing in procurement procedures to suppliers, supplies and services originating in GPA Parties.

To that aim, the EU successfully sought to re-structure the text of the revised GPA in order to follow the sequential order of a procurement procedure and to bring the text closer to the EU procurement directives. As a consequence, the new revised text is a substantial improvement in terms of readability and clarity of its provisions, making them more user-friendly.

Furthermore, to allow for an effective opening of the procurement markets of the other GPA Parties, the revised text entails complete new provisions which constitute a significant improvement of the conditions of participation of the EU suppliers abroad.

These new elements include the following:

The GPA Parties will be required to set up a free of charge and centralised electronic database which will include procurement notices published by Ministries and other central procurement entities. The new obligations are largely inspired by the EU model, as the EU maintains a free of charge single data base called Tender Electronic Daily- TED- where all procurement notices are made available. This will result in procurement opportunities in all GPA Parties being made more accessible.

The revised GPA contains clearer rules on the selection of suppliers, allowing for more competition: similarly to the EU system, the selection process will ensure that companies wishing to participate to procurement have not been found guilty of bribery or corruption. Also, permanent lists of suppliers maintained by procuring entities shall be opened to suppliers not registered in the lists, allowing for more competition in the markets.

The revision of the GPA also leads to the introduction of electronic procurement: a set of provisions on the use of electronic procurement have been introduced at the EU's initiative. They include the possibility to use electronic auctions. Also, the use of electronic means allows for more flexibility in the procedures, including shorter deadlines in the procedures.

The revised GPA text includes new provisions for developing countries wishing to join the Agreement. This is particularly important as the 1994 GPA has a limited number of members, most of them being developed economies. To encourage developing countries to join they can benefit under the revised text from a set of transitional measures such as higher thresholds, phasing in of entities and sectors aiming at facilitating the transition to an open economy facing foreign competition.

Another important element relates to the conditions under which a procuring entity that has been included in a Party's commitments can be withdrawn from the scope of the GPA. The move from the previous cumbersome system of modifications of coverage to a clearer one was among the most difficult issues to agree on, and constitutes one of the most important changes in the new text, much to the advantage of the EU.

The EU has obtained that the current obligations regarding statistical reporting are more simple and flexible. This includes a limitation of the number of data to be provided, the possibility to provide estimates, and the introduction of a waiver of the obligations for the Parties (like the EU) who maintain a centralised database.

Finally, the EU has obtained that the Agreement explicitly provides for a simplified procedure (Article XIX) for the notification by a Party of rectifications and modifications of its Annexes to Appendix I (coverage). This means that in cases of any rectification, transfer of an entity from one Annex to the other, withdrawal of an entity and in case of any other modification, it would no longer be necessary to resort to the formal amendment procedure (set out in Article XXII.11 of the Agreement). It is proposed that the Commission is authorized to submit to the Committee on Government procurement any proposal for rectification and modification of the EU Annexes to Appendix I. In case of Member States’ entities, the Commission will proceed to notification to the Committee, upon receipt of relevant information from any Member State, and after informing the Member States in the relevant Committee (Trade Policy Committee). This would be consistent with the practise existing under the current 1994 GPA.

2.2.        The coverage

The negotiations resulted in a significant extension of the coverage of the GPA. The additions to the coverage reach according to estimates of the WTO 80 billion Euro. The EU secured roughly 30 billion Euro of additional market access opportunities for the European companies.

The market access has been expanded through:

(i) Addition of more than 200 contracting entities, both on central and sub-central levels. In comparison to the 1994 GPA, all Parties that have sub-central level of government are now offering coverage to varying degrees.

(ii) Greater coverage of goods through deletion or reduction in scope of existing derogations and through additions of goods on the non-sensitive defence procurement list.

(iii) Expanded coverage of services to varying degrees by almost all Parties. All Parties offer now the entire category of construction services (works).

(iv) Downwards revision of thresholds from which the GPA discipline will be applicable (by some Parties).

(v) New coverage for contractual arrangements such as works concessions/Build-Operate-Transfer contracts/Private Finance Initiative.

(vi) Removal of certain discriminatory provisions, such as offsets and Buy National rules that some Parties maintained under the 1994 GPA.

3.           PROCEDURE

The Commission proposes the Council to conclude the Protocol Amending the Agreement on Government Procurement on behalf of the European Union.

The European Parliament will be called upon to give its consent to the conclusion of the Protocol. This proposal has no implications for the EU budget.

Valuation

6.         In estimating the value of a procurement for the purpose of ascertaining whether it is a covered procurement, a procuring entity shall:

(a)        in the case of a fixed-term contract:

(i)         where the term of the contract is 12 months or less, the total estimated maximum value for its duration;  or

(ii)        where the term of the contract exceeds 12 months, the total estimated maximum value, including any estimated residual value;

(b)        where the contract is for an indefinite period, the estimated monthly instalment multiplied by 48;  and

(c)        where it is not certain whether the contract is to be a fixed-term contract, subparagraph (b) shall be used.

2.         Subject to the requirement that such measures are not applied in a manner that would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between Parties where the same conditions prevail or a disguised restriction on international trade, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent any Party from imposing or enforcing measures:

(a)          necessary to protect public morals, order or safety;

(b)          necessary to protect human, animal or plant life or health;

Use of Electronic Means

3.         When conducting covered procurement by electronic means, a procuring entity shall:

(a)        ensure that the procurement is conducted using information technology systems and software, including those related to authentication and encryption of information, that are generally available and interoperable with other generally available information technology systems and software;  and

(b) maintain mechanisms that ensure the integrity of requests for participation and tenders, including establishment of the time of receipt and the prevention of inappropriate access.

Conduct of Procurement

(c) prevents corrupt practices.

Rules of Origin

5.         For purposes of covered procurement, a Party shall not apply rules of origin to goods or services imported from or supplied from another Party that are different from the rules of origin the Party applies at the same time in the normal course of trade to imports or supplies of the same goods or services from the same Party.

Offsets

6.         With regard to covered procurement, a Party, including its procuring entities, shall not seek, take account of, impose or enforce any offset.

(a)        least developed countries;  and

(b)        any other developing country, where and to the extent that this special and differential treatment meets its development needs.

2.         Upon accession by a developing country to this Agreement, each Party shall provide immediately to the goods, services and suppliers of that country the most favourable coverage that the Party provides under its annexes to Appendix I to any other Party to this Agreement, subject to any terms negotiated between the Party and the developing country in order to maintain an appropriate balance of opportunities under this Agreement.

3.         Based on its development needs, and with the agreement of the Parties, a developing country may adopt or maintain one or more of the following transitional measures, during a transition period and in accordance with a schedule, set out in its relevant annexes to Appendix I, and applied in a manner that does not discriminate among the other Parties:

(a)        a price preference programme, provided that the programme:

(i) provides a preference only for the part of the tender incorporating goods or services originating in the developing country applying the preference or goods or services originating in other developing countries in respect of which the developing country applying the preference has an obligation to provide national treatment under a preferential agreement, provided that where the other developing country is a Party to this Agreement, such treatment would be subject to any conditions set by the Committee;  and

(ii)        is transparent, and the preference and its application in the procurement are clearly described in the notice of intended procurement;

(b)        for any other developing country, only the period necessary to implement the specific obligation and not to exceed three years.

5.         Any developing country that has negotiated an implementation period for an obligation under paragraph 4 shall list in its Annex 7 to Appendix I the agreed implementation period, the specific obligation subject to the implementation period and any interim obligation with which it has agreed to comply during the implementation period.

6.         After this Agreement has entered into force for a developing country, the Committee, on request of the developing country, may:

(a)        extend the transition period for a measure adopted or maintained under paragraph 3 or any implementation period negotiated under paragraph 4;  or

(b)        approve the adoption of a new transitional measure under paragraph 3, in special circumstances that were unforeseen during the accession process.

Selective Tendering

4.         Where a procuring entity intends to use selective tendering, the entity shall:

(a)        include in the notice of intended procurement at least the information specified in Article VII:2(a), (b), (f), (g), (j), (k) and (l) and invite suppliers to submit a request for participation;  and

(b)        the entity promptly provides to suppliers that have expressed an interest in a given procurement to the entity, sufficient information to permit them to assess their interest in the procurement, including all remaining information required in Article VII:2, to the extent such information is available.

13.        A procuring entity covered under Annex 2 or 3 may allow a supplier that has applied for inclusion on a multi-use list in accordance with paragraph 10 to tender in a given procurement, where there is sufficient time for the procuring entity to examine whether the supplier satisfies the conditions for participation.

Information on Procuring Entity Decisions

Article X         Technical Specifications and Tender Documentation

Technical Specifications

1.         A procuring entity shall not prepare, adopt or apply any technical specification or prescribe any conformity assessment procedure with the purpose or the effect of creating unnecessary obstacles to international trade.

2.         In prescribing the technical specifications for the goods or services being procured, a procuring entity shall, where appropriate:

(a)        set out the technical specification in terms of performance and functional requirements, rather than design or descriptive characteristics;  and

(b)        base the technical specification on international standards, where such exist;  otherwise, on national technical regulations, recognized national standards or building codes.

3.         Where design or descriptive characteristics are used in the technical specifications, a procuring entity should indicate, where appropriate, that it will consider tenders of equivalent goods or services that demonstrably fulfil the requirements of the procurement by including words such as "or equivalent" in the tender documentation.

4.         A procuring entity shall not prescribe technical specifications that require or refer to a particular trademark or trade name, patent, copyright, design, type, specific origin, producer or supplier, unless there is no other sufficiently precise or intelligible way of describing the procurement requirements and provided that, in such cases, the entity includes words such as "or equivalent" in the tender documentation.

5.         A procuring entity shall not seek or accept, in a manner that would have the effect of precluding competition, advice that may be used in the preparation or adoption of any technical specification for a specific procurement from a person that may have a commercial interest in the procurement.

6.         For greater certainty, a Party, including its procuring entities, may, in accordance with this Article, prepare, adopt or apply technical specifications to promote the conservation of natural resources or protect the environment.

Tender Documentation

7.         A procuring entity shall make available to suppliers tender documentation that includes all information necessary to permit suppliers to prepare and submit responsive tenders.  Unless already provided in the notice of intended procurement, such documentation shall include a complete description of:

(b)        any conditions for participation of suppliers, including a list of information and documents that suppliers are required to submit in connection with the conditions for participation;

(c)        all evaluation criteria the entity will apply in the awarding of the contract, and, except where price is the sole criterion, the relative importance of such criteria;

(d)        where the procuring entity will conduct the procurement by electronic means, any authentication and encryption requirements or other requirements related to the submission of information by electronic means;

(e)        where the procuring entity will hold an electronic auction, the rules, including identification of the elements of the tender related to the evaluation criteria, on which the auction will be conducted;

(f)        where there will be a public opening of tenders, the date, time and place for the opening and, where appropriate, the persons authorized to be present;

(g)        any other terms or conditions, including terms of payment and any limitation on the means by which tenders may be submitted, such as whether on paper or by electronic means;  and

(h)        any dates for the delivery of goods or the supply of services.

8.         In establishing any date for the delivery of goods or the supply of services being procured, a procuring entity shall take into account such factors as the complexity of the procurement, the extent of subcontracting anticipated and the realistic time required for production, de-stocking and transport of goods from the point of supply or for supply of services.

9.         The evaluation criteria set out in the notice of intended procurement or tender documentation may include, among others, price and other cost factors, quality, technical merit, environmental characteristics and terms of delivery.

10.        A procuring entity shall promptly:

(a)        make available tender documentation to ensure that interested suppliers have sufficient time to submit responsive tenders;

(b)        provide, on request, the tender documentation to any interested supplier;  and

(c)        reply to any reasonable request for relevant information by any interested or participating supplier, provided that such information does not give that supplier an advantage over other suppliers.

Modifications

11.        Where, prior to the award of a contract, a procuring entity modifies the criteria or requirements set out in the notice of intended procurement or tender documentation provided to participating suppliers, or amends or reissues a notice or tender documentation, it shall transmit in writing all such modifications or amended or re-issued notice or tender documentation:

(a)        to all suppliers that are participating at the time of the modification, amendment or re‑issuance, where such suppliers are known to the entity, and in all other cases, in the same manner as the original information was made available;  and

(b)        in adequate time to allow such suppliers to modify and re-submit amended tenders, as appropriate.

Article XI        Time-Periods

General

1.         A procuring entity shall, consistent with its own reasonable needs, provide sufficient time for suppliers to prepare and submit requests for participation and responsive tenders, taking into account such factors as:

(a)        the nature and complexity of the procurement;

(b)        the extent of subcontracting anticipated;  and

(c)        the time necessary for transmitting tenders by non-electronic means from foreign as well as domestic points where electronic means are not used.

Such time-periods, including any extension of the time-periods, shall be the same for all interested or participating suppliers.

Deadlines

2.         A procuring entity that uses selective tendering shall establish that the final date for the submission of requests for participation shall not, in principle, be less than 25 days from the date of publication of the notice of intended procurement.  Where a state of urgency duly substantiated by the procuring entity renders this time-period impracticable, the time-period may be reduced to not less than 10 days.

3.         Except as provided for in paragraphs 4, 5, 7 and 8 a procuring entity shall establish that the final date for the submission of tenders shall not be less than 40 days from the date on which:

(b)        the procuring entity, for recurring contracts, indicates in an initial notice of intended procurement that subsequent notices will provide time-periods for tendering based on this paragraph;  or

(c)        a state of urgency duly substantiated by the procuring entity renders the time-period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 impracticable.

(b)        all the tender documentation is made available by electronic means from the date of the publication of the notice of intended procurement;  and

(c)        the entity accepts tenders by electronic means.

6.         The use of paragraph 5, in conjunction with paragraph 4, shall in no case result in the reduction of the time-period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 to less than 10 days from the date on which the notice of intended procurement is published.

7.         Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article, where a procuring entity purchases commercial goods or services, or any combination thereof, it may reduce the time-period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 to not less than 13 days, provided that it publishes by electronic means, at the same time, both the notice of intended procurement and the tender documentation.  In addition, where the entity accepts tenders for commercial goods or services by electronic means, it may reduce the time-period established in accordance with paragraph 3 to not less than 10 days.

8.         Where a procuring entity covered under Annex 2 or 3 has selected all or a limited number of qualified suppliers, the time-period for tendering may be fixed by mutual agreement between the procuring entity and the selected suppliers.  In the absence of agreement, the period shall not be less than 10 days.

Article XII      Negotiation

1.         A Party may provide for its procuring entities to conduct negotiations:

(a)        where the entity has indicated its intent to conduct negotiations in the notice of intended procurement required under Article VII:2;  or

2.         A procuring entity shall:

(a)        ensure that any elimination of suppliers participating in negotiations is carried out in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out in the notice of intended procurement or tender documentation;  and

(b)        where negotiations are concluded, provide a common deadline for the remaining participating suppliers to submit any new or revised tenders.

Article XIII     Limited Tendering

1.         Provided that it does not use this provision for the purpose of avoiding competition among suppliers or in a manner that discriminates against suppliers of any other Party or protects domestic suppliers, a procuring entity may use limited tendering and may choose not to apply Articles VII through IX, X (paragraphs 7 through 11), XI, XII, XIV and XV only under any of the following circumstances:

(a)        where:

(i)         no tenders were submitted or no suppliers requested participation;

(ii)        no tenders that conform to the essential requirements of the tender documentation were submitted;

(iii)       no suppliers satisfied the conditions for participation;  or

(iv)       the tenders submitted have been collusive,

provided that the requirements of the tender documentation are not substantially modified;

(ii)        the protection of patents, copyrights or other exclusive rights;  or

(iii)       due to an absence of competition for technical reasons;

(c)        for additional deliveries by the original supplier of goods or services that were not included in the initial procurement where a change of supplier for such additional goods or services:

(i)         cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, software, services or installations procured under the initial procurement;  and

(ii)        would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the procuring entity;

(d)        insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the procuring entity, the goods or services could not be obtained in time using open tendering or selective tendering;

(e)        for goods purchased on a commodity market;

(f)        where a procuring entity procures a prototype or a first good or service that is developed at its request in the course of, and for, a particular contract for research, experiment, study or original development.  Original development of a first good or service may include limited production or supply in order to incorporate the results of field testing and to demonstrate that the good or service is suitable for production or supply in quantity to acceptable quality standards, but does not include quantity production or supply to establish commercial viability or to recover research and development costs;

(g)        for purchases made under exceptionally advantageous conditions that only arise in the very short term in the case of unusual disposals such as those arising from liquidation, receivership or bankruptcy, but not for routine purchases from regular suppliers;  or

(h)        where a contract is awarded to a winner of a design contest provided that:

(i)         the contest has been organized in a manner that is consistent with the principles of this Agreement, in particular relating to the publication of a notice of intended procurement;  and

(b)        the results of any initial evaluation of the elements of its tender where the contract is to be awarded on the basis of the most advantageous tender;  and

(c)        any other relevant information relating to the conduct of the auction.

Article XV       Treatment of Tenders and Awarding of Contracts

Treatment of Tenders

1.         A procuring entity shall receive, open and treat all tenders under procedures that guarantee the fairness and impartiality of the procurement process, and the confidentiality of tenders.

2.         A procuring entity shall not penalize any supplier whose tender is received after the time specified for receiving tenders if the delay is due solely to mishandling on the part of the procuring entity.

3.         Where a procuring entity provides a supplier with an opportunity to correct unintentional errors of form between the opening of tenders and the awarding of the contract, the procuring entity shall provide the same opportunity to all participating suppliers.

Awarding of Contracts

4.         To be considered for an award, a tender shall be submitted in writing and shall, at the time of opening, comply with the essential requirements set out in the notices and tender documentation and be from a supplier that satisfies the conditions for participation.

5.         Unless a procuring entity determines that it is not in the public interest to award a contract, the entity shall award the contract to the supplier that the entity has determined to be capable of fulfilling the terms of the contract and that, based solely on the evaluation criteria specified in the notices and tender documentation, has submitted:

(a)        the most advantageous tender;  or

(b)        where price is the sole criterion, the lowest price.

6.         Where a procuring entity receives a tender with a price that is abnormally lower than the prices in other tenders submitted, it may verify with the supplier that it satisfies the conditions for participation and is capable of fulfilling the terms of the contract.

Article XVI     Transparency of Procurement Information

Information Provided to Suppliers

1.         A procuring entity shall promptly inform participating suppliers of the entity's contract award decisions and, on the request of a supplier, shall do so in writing.  Subject to paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article XVII, a procuring entity shall, on request, provide an unsuccessful supplier with an explanation of the reasons why the entity did not select its tender and the relative advantages of the successful supplier's tender.

Publication of Award Information

2.         Not later than 72 days after the award of each contract covered by this Agreement, a procuring entity shall publish a notice in the appropriate paper or electronic medium listed in Appendix III.  Where the entity publishes the notice only in an electronic medium, the information shall remain readily accessible for a reasonable period of time.  The notice shall include at least the following information:

5.         Where a Party publishes its statistics on an official website, in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of paragraph 4, the Party may substitute a notification to the Committee of the website address for the submission of the data under paragraph 4, with any instructions necessary to access and use such statistics.

6.         Where a Party requires notices concerning awarded contracts, pursuant to paragraph 2, to be published electronically and where such notices are accessible to the public through a single database in a form permitting analysis of the covered contracts, the Party may substitute a notification to the Committee of the website address for the submission of the data under paragraph 4, with any instructions necessary to access and use such data.

Article XVII    Disclosure of Information

Provision of Information to Parties

1.         On request of any other Party, a Party shall provide promptly any information necessary to determine whether a procurement was conducted fairly, impartially and in accordance with this Agreement, including information on the characteristics and relative advantages of the successful tender.  In cases where release of the information would prejudice competition in future tenders, the Party that receives the information shall not disclose it to any supplier, except after consulting with, and obtaining the agreement of, the Party that provided the information.

Non-Disclosure of Information

2.         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Party, including its procuring entities, shall not provide to any particular supplier information that might prejudice fair competition between suppliers.

(b)        might prejudice fair competition between suppliers;

(c)        would prejudice the legitimate commercial interests of particular persons, including the protection of intellectual property;  or

(d)        would otherwise be contrary to the public interest.

Article XVIII  Domestic Review Procedures

1.         Each Party shall provide a timely, effective, transparent and non-discriminatory administrative or judicial review procedure through which a supplier may challenge:

(a)        a breach of the Agreement;  or

(b)        where the supplier does not have a right to challenge directly a breach of the Agreement under the domestic law of a Party, a failure to comply with a Party's measures implementing this Agreement,

arising in the context of a covered procurement, in which the supplier has, or has had, an interest.  The procedural rules for all challenges shall be in writing and made generally available.

7.         Each Party shall adopt or maintain procedures that provide for:

(a)        rapid interim measures to preserve the supplier's opportunity to participate in the procurement.  Such interim measures may result in suspension of the procurement process.  The procedures may provide that overriding adverse consequences for the interests concerned, including the public interest, may be taken into account when deciding whether such measures should be applied.  Just cause for not acting shall be provided in writing;  and

(b)        where a review body has determined that there has been a breach or a failure as referred to in paragraph 1, corrective action or compensation for the loss or damages suffered, which may be limited to either the costs for the preparation of the tender or the costs relating to the challenge, or both.
