Proposal for a Council Decision regarding the amendment of Annex XII of the Trade Agreement between the European Union and Colombia and Peru

Background and further information:

This proposal concerns the decision establishing the position to be adopted on behalf of the Union in the Trade Committee of the Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and Colombia and Peru, of the other part, in connection with the envisaged adoption of a decision concerning the modification by Colombia of Annex XII to the Agreement.

Subsection 2 of Section A to Appendix 1 of Annex XII sets out the list of Colombia's sub-central government entities covered under the commitments on government procurement. Colombia proposes to modify this by adding a note to specify that ‘procuring entities’ cover all sub-central public procuring entities not having an industrial or commercial character.
