The World Trade Organization - Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP)
8.7.1 The WTO-AGP is a multilateral agreement that aims to secure greater international competition for government procurement. The WTO-AGP came into effect on January 1, 1996. Member countries include Canada, the European Communities, the United States, Japan, Korea, Israel, Norway and Switzerland. The WTO-AGP replaces the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Government Procurement Code by extending the previous coverage of goods to include services and construction. The national treatment and non-discrimination provisions and procurement procedures of the WTO-AGP are similar to those of NAFTA.
