Common use of Rectifications or Modifications Clause in Contracts

Rectifications or Modifications. 1. A Party shall notify the other Party of its rectifications or, in exceptional cases, other modifications relating to Annex 9, along with the information as to the likely consequences of the change for the mutually agreed coverage provided in this Chapter. If the rectifications or other modifications are of a purely formal or minor nature, notwithstanding Article 223, they shall become effective provided that no objection from the other Party has been raised within 30 days. In other cases, the Parties shall consult the proposal and any claim for compensatory adjustments with a view to maintaining a balance of rights and obligations and a comparable level of mutually agreed coverage provided in this Chapter prior to such rectification or other modification. In the event of an agreement between the Parties not being reached, the Party which has received such notification may have recourse to the dispute settlement procedure under Chapter 15. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, a Party may undertake reorganizations of its procuring entities, including programs through which the procurement of such entities is decentralized or the corresponding government functions cease to be performed by any government entity, whether or not subject to this Chapter. In cases of reorganizations, compensation need not be proposed. Neither Party shall undertake such reorganizations to avoid the obligations of this Chapter.
