WTO Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA)Wto Agreement • July 11th, 2023
During the past 50 years, the United States has played a prominent role in developing international trade rules on government procurement. Most U.S. free trade agreements include government procurement obligations. The most notable international procurement agreement to which the United States is a party is the World Trade Organization (WTO)’s Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA). The GPA has opened procurement opportunities around the world to foreign competition, worth trillions of U.S. dollars annually. It also requires parties to establish transparent and nondiscriminatory rules for covered procurement. In particular, the agreement enables U.S. businesses to bid for certain government contracts in the markets of other GPA parties. Likewise, it allows foreign businesses to bid for contracts tendered by U.S. procuring entities in areas where federal and state governments have agreed to open up their procurement markets. The WTO estimates the size of the procurement market covere

According to Halsbury’s Laws of England the word trade means (a) exchange of goods for goods or exchange of goods for money, and (b) any business carried on with a view to obtain profit.1 It can be also defined as any trade, business, industry, profession or occupation relating to production, supply and distribution of goods and services.2 The trade across the borders of the countries is called international trade and has been carried on since times immemorial. It can be also described as the sale of goods with international element. According to Simone Schnitzer, this element could be present due to the fact that the seller and buyer are established in different countries, or that the goods have to be transported from one country to another, or that the parties have chosen a jurisdiction other than their domestic one.3

While the WTG Agreement is a giant step forward, much work remains to be done to open up the telecommunications markets of the region to competition. Countries that want to compete economically must upgrade their telecommunications infrastructure in order to attract the capital they need. Making both competition and regulation of telecommunications companies a reality, though difficult, is necessary for the future.
