REPORT BY THE U.S.



General Accounting Office






The International Agreement On Government

Procurement: An Assessment Of Its Commercial

Value And U.S. Government Implementation


The Government Procurement Agreement,
although an important policy step toward
less restrictive trade, has not had the
commercial impact originally anticipated
The signatories opened a far smaller value
of procurements to foreign competition than
expected, and most procurements did not
represent legitimate new trade opportu-
nities Nevertheless, the Agreement has
some commercial value

The U S government needs to improve
implementation of the Agreement GAO
recommends that U S embassies upgrade
their efforts to monitor foreign government
compliance and that Commerce focus its
assistance on those firms best able to ben-
efit from the Agreement It also concludes
that the Office of the U S Trade Repre-
sentative should seek improvements to the
information provided by foreign govern-
ments used in analyzing the relative benefits
of U S participation in the Agreement
