Government Procurement Agreement

摘要

Ukraine and Moldova joined the Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) in 2016. Good progress was made on the accessions of Australia, the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan while discussions continued on China's accession. Russia applied to join the GPA. Phase II of the e-GPA web portal was completed, providing a single entry point for market access information. The WTO Secretariat continued to provide technical assistance to developing countries and strengthened its partnerships with other international organizations.
