KYIV. Nov 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The participants of the Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) unanimously supported Ukraine’s application to join the agreement, Deputy Economic Development and Trade Minister of Ukraine Maksym Nefyodov wrote on his Facebook page.
“This is the diplomatic victory of Ukraine – to join the agreement under the WTO [World Trade Organization], which opens mutual access to the public procurement markets,” he wrote.
He said that joining GPA is beneficial for Ukraine, as the Ukrainian market has been opened for foreign companies for many years, while the markets of other countries were closed for Ukrainian companies. He said that Ukraine does not require changing legislation to receive access to tenders abroad.
