This Decision is addressed to the Commission.

The notes to Subsection 2 of Section A to Appendix 1 of Annex XII (‘Government Procurement’) to the Trade Agreement shall be replaced as follows: ‘Notes to this Subsection 1. For the purposes of this Subsection “procuring entities” cover all sub-central public procuring entities, not having an industrial or commercial character. 2. Title VI of this Agreement does not cover: (a) procurements of food, agricultural raw materials/inputs and live animals related to agricultural support programmes and food assistance; and (b) procurements of goods classified under Section 2 (food products, beverages and tobacco; textiles, apparel and leather products) of the CPC version 1.0 for social assistance programmes.’

The modification laid down in Article 1 shall not entail compensatory adjustment since it does not lead to a reduction of coverage.

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
