ATTACHMENT C

Switzerland's TERMS OF the United Kingdom's ACCESSION TO THE Agreement on Government in its own right0

  1. Upon the United Kingdom's accession to the Agreement on Government Procurement in its own right and, in addition, the entry into force for Switzerland of the Protocol Amending the Agreement on Government Procurement, done at Geneva on 30 March 2012, line 1 of Note 1 of section A ("Dérogations spécifiques par pays") of Annex 7 to Appendix I of Switzerland under the amended Agreement shall read as follows0:

"- en ce qui concerne les marchés passés par les entités mentionnées au chiffre 2 de l’Annexe 2 à tous les membres de l’AMP, à l’exception de ceux de l’Union Européenne, des membres de l’Association Européenne de Libre-Echange (AELE), de l’Arménie et du Royaume-Uni. "


__________

1 En adelante, el Acuerdo de 1994 y el Acuerdo modificado se denominarán en conjunto "Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública".

In English only.

2 Where the functions of an entity listed in this Annex have been or are transferred to another entity, which is itself a contracting authority, the successor entity shall be deemed to be included in this Annex (for sub-central contracting authorities, only for those functions).

0 According to the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016, a "public undertaking" means any undertaking over which contracting authorities may exercise directly or indirectly a dominant influence by virtue of:

a) their ownership of that undertaking;

b) their financial participation in that undertaking; or

c) the rules which govern that undertaking.

According to the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016, a "public undertaking" means a person over which one or more contracting authorities are able to exercise, directly or indirectly, a dominant influence by virtue of one or more of the following:

a) their ownership of that person;

b) their financial participation in that person;

c) the rights accorded to them by the rules which govern that person.

According to both the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 and the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016, a dominant influence on the part of contracting authorities is presumed in any of the following cases in which those authorities, directly or indirectly:

a) hold the majority of the undertaking's subscribed capital;

b) control the majority of the votes attaching to shares issued by the undertaking;

c) can appoint more than half of the undertaking's administrative, management or supervisory body.

0 As regards transport services, a network shall be considered to exist where the service is provided under operating conditions laid down by a competent authority of the United Kingdom such as conditions on the routes to be served, the capacity to be made available or the frequency of the service.

0 E.g. the provision or operation of networks (within the meaning of footnote 2) providing a service to the public in the field of transport by high-speed or conventional trains.

0 "affiliated undertaking" means any undertaking over which the procuring entity may exercise, directly or indirectly, a dominant influence, or which may exercise a dominant influence over the procuring entity, or which, in common with the procuring entity, is subject to the dominant influence of another undertaking by virtue of ownership, financial participation, or the rules which govern it.

0 When, because of the date on which an affiliated undertaking was created or commenced activities, the turnover is not available for the preceding three years, it will be sufficient for that undertaking to show that the turnover referred to in this paragraph is credible, in particular by means of business projections.

0 Except for services which entities have to procure from another entity pursuant to an exclusive right established by a published law, regulation or administrative provision.

0 Except for the procurement or acquisition of fiscal agency or depository services, liquidation, and management services for regulated financial institutions or services related to the sale, redemption and distribution of public debt, including loans and government bonds, notes and other securities.

0 Except arbitration and conciliation services.

0 Switzerland's terms of the United Kingdom's accession to the Agreement on Government Procurement in its own right are subject to Switzerland's relevant internal procedures. In case the Government Procurement Agreement enters into force for the United Kingdom before the Protocol Amending the Agreement on Government Procurement, done at Geneva on 30 March 2012, enters into force for Switzerland, Switzerland's Appendix I Annexes to the 1994 Agreement shall apply as between the United Kingdom and Switzerland. For purposes of clarity, Switzerland will extend the benefits of the provisions of the Government Procurement Agreement to the United Kingdom for procurement by authorities and bodies governed by public law at the district and communal level.
