WTO Government Procurement Agreement: Impact on World Markets

George Washington University School of LawThe George Washington University School of Law has posted online the slides of a webinar about changes to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement.

Twenty years after the 1994 version of the WTO Government Procurement Agreement was signed, a new version of the international accord–probably the most important free trade agreement in world public procurement markets–has taken effect, the school says on its website.

The United States, the European Union and many other nations, industrialized and not, are members of the GPA, which has been revamped and revised. George Washington University Law School’s Government Procurement Law Program is pleased to host this free colloquium, where experts will discuss the new agreement, what is new in this revision, and the likely impact on procurement markets, here and abroad.

The event was sponsored by The George Washington University Law School Government Procurement Law Program, the International Procurement Committees of the ABA Section of International Law, and the ABA Public Contract Law Section.
