WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) was designed to liberalize and expand trade in government procurement. Revised GPA was implemented in 1996 and the latest revision was completed (but not yet implemented) in 2012, but as a plurilateral agreement. Since the end of the UR, there has been attempts by various WTO members to liberalize trade in the government procurement market - through an expansion of Parties who are signatories to GPA, and through a negotiated agreement on transparency in government procurement. The attempt to expand the Parties who are signatories to the GPA - attempt to increase the width of the coverage of the agreement - has been somewhat successful, but I argue that the goal should be to further liberate the government procurement markets of the current Party members - to reduce thresholds and other barriers which limit market access even to other GPA members, in other words, to increase the depth of coverage. Taking cue from Korea's FTA, I propose a two-level liberalization of the government procurement market under the GPA: A "light" level which would be the same as the current level of liberalization; and a "deep" level with lower thresholds and less exemptions. I argue that, as seen in Korea, with FTAs, many GPA Parties already have multiple levels of liberalization (i.e, spaghetti-bowl effect of FTAs), but by limiting the levels of liberalization to two, we can seek the best of deep liberalization but reduce the spaghetti-bowl effect.

Recently, the world government procurement market has been greatly opened thanks to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement and FTA etc..In spite of that, many companies trying to export their products into overseas procurement market have been still facing many kinds of invisible barriers and practices for restricting the market access. With the survey results, this study aims to suggest strategic and political implications for the exporting companies in the procurement area for preparing the marketing strategy and introducing the export assistance regime and developing the negotiation position in the concerned FTA. This study has showed some kinds of important implications for the export promotion in the area. Firstly, the companies have to try to increase their products competitiveness, to strength efforts for bids information gathering, to use special program for the foreign companies in some countries. Secondly, the Korean Government also has to try to establish a realistic system for gathering many information about the foreign government procurement market, to assist the companies's export marketing, to introduce the global standards for adapting international technical specifications, and to conclude the FTA agreement with the concerned developing countries in the procurement area etc..

The governments of almost countries have the rules and procedures that the purchasing entities have to follow, in order to ensure that the best value for money spent is obtained in procuring goods and services. However, there are often some of important problems in their rules relating to government procurement. Namely, almost countries have a variety of discriminatory regulations for foreign suppliers in the government procurement laws with the object of national security, economic welfare, and protection of domestic market from international competition. For this reason, several advanced countries had reached the Plurilateral Agreement on Government Procurement during Tokyo Round(1973-1979) and Uruguay Round(1986-1994). However, the provisions of two agreements do not apply to all products made by the government but only to those made by purchasing entities specified by each member country in its list in the Appendix. Accordingly, the size of goods and services purchased from foreign suppliers were comparatively not large. As we know well, the United States have spent a large amount of money from federal and state government budget. But the portion of procurement from foreign suppliers is still small, compared with the portion of procurement from domestic suppliers. The main reason are that U.S. has applied for long time the so-called Buy American Act to government procurement positively and maintained many kinds of other domestic regulations which have discriminatory provisions for foreign goods and foreign suppliers. On the recognition of these points, this thesis deals with the Buy American Act and other U.S. domestic laws, regional and bilateral, and plurilateral agreements including WTO Agreement on Government Procurement. As a result, the author found that there are several concerns and problems in the U.S. regulations relating to government procurement. It include the provisions on priority procurement of U.S.-produced products, local contents requirements, set-aside procurement from small business, and exclusion of preferential procurement from the developing countries.

미국의 탈퇴 이후 불확실성이 많지만, TPP는 정부조달 시장개방에 소극적이었던 베트남, 말레이시아, 브루나이, 멕시코 등의 주요 중진국들의 정부조달 시장을 개방하는 데에 성공하였다. 본 글에서는 현재 가장 큰 규모의 세계 정부조달 시장개방 협정인 WTO GPA와 TPP의 조건들과 규정을 비교하면서 어떻게 TPP가 이 국가들의 시장을 개방하였는지에 대한 함의를 얻고자 한다. 시장개방범위 및 하한선 차원에서 TPP 정부조달 분야의 가장 큰 특징은 정부조달 시장개방에 소극적인 중진국들에게 20년까지의 전환기간을 부여하고, 하한선을 단계적으로 내리게 했다는 점이다. 또한, TPP는 GPA에 비해서 개도국 정부기관들의 행정적 부담 및 비용을 낮추어 주고자 하고 있다. 정부는 새로운 정부조달 시장개방 협상에서 정부조달 시장의 개방을 위해 위의 협상 전략을 고려할 필요가 있다.

International Procurement refers to the actions governments and public institutions worldwide buy goods and services. With the WTO agreement on government procurement, most procurements are realized by bidding, which accelerates the opening-up of International procurement. Today International procurement has drawn the world's attention. The scale of international procurement market has been developing fast, reaching about US$ 5.55 trillion this year, In our country, however, due to the difficulty in initial market access to local procurement, the participation in taking international procurement is quite inactive, especially when compared with our exporting scale. The UN procurement market has procurement rules that countries which make contributions to UN and developing countries are favorably treated, and non-discriminatory and public competition in bidding and the optimum purchase are kept, and so on. It has its own head office and many subsidiary agencies. Actually the international procurement market offers an international marketplace for suppliers of all tangible goods and services. Therefore, UN and international procurement markets are great significant foreign markets to our country. But our country lagges behind in international procurement as it has not reached to our monetary contribution to UN. Therefore, it's essential to stimulate our company's participations in the UN procurement market. To fulfil this purpose, first of all, this study analyzes the current status of UN procurement market and Korea's current participation status. Then it investigates the procurement information system of UN and Korea's international procurement market information system as well as assistance system. Based on the above, by studying on the actual spots of the interview investigations on the registered firms in UNPD, this thesis discloses the problems with the Korea's national information system and assistance system on UN procurement market. Finally, this study raises the efficient plan for the integrated international procurement information system & assistance system.

최근 도시 인프라의 건설과 운영을 위하여 민자유치사업들이 급증하고 있다. 이러한 민자유치 인프라 프로젝트들은 국가 재정 부족의 보완과 창의성 및 효율성 향상을 통해 지역발전을 촉진하기 위한 것이라고 강조되지만, 실제 시장 메커니즘에 따른 민간자본의 새로운 투자 영역 확대와 이윤기회의 보장이라는 신자유주의적 도시정책에 따른 것이라고 할 수 있다. 이로 인해 한국에서도 1994년 이후 이러한 민자유치사업이 본격화되고 있지만, 실제 여러 가지 문제점들을 노정시키고 있다. 본 연구의 사례 분석 결과, 민자유치에 위한 범안로의 건설 및 운영에 있어 과다한 계획 교통량 예측 문제, 공사비 과다 계상 및 부대사업 조건의 문제, 사업 주체의 비합리적 운영과 회계 문제, 실시협약 내용 변경의 문제, 최소운영수입 보장 문제 등이 지적될 수 있다. 이러한 문제들을 안고 있는 범안로의 합리적 운영을 위해 가능한 대책으로, 통행료 수입 존대 방안, 재정 지원 축소 방안, 일부 구간 운영권 회수 방안, 전체 구간 운영권 회수 방안 등이 고려될 수 있다.

현재, 한.미 ROU 협상당시 의도했던 목적은 이미 달성되었다. 우리나라는 WTO 정부조달협정에 가입하여 협정을 준수하고 있으며, WTO 정신에 입각하여 통신장비 조달도 공개, 공정, 비차별 원칙에 따라 운영하고 있다. 양허대상 통신사업자인 한국통신의 경우, 1997년 10월부터 출자전환과 함께 조달시장이 전면 개방됨에 따라 전세계 모든 공급업체에 비차별, 내국민대우를 보장하고 있다. 또한 한.미 ROU에 명시된 바와 같이 한국이 WTO 정부조달협정에 가입함으로서 한.미 ROU에서 배제조건을 충족시키고 있다. 더불어 현재 KT의 정부지분은 100% 민간에 매각되어 완전하게 민영화되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 한.미 ROU는 WTO 정부조달협정으로 대체되거나 종료되지 않고 있어 양허대상인 통신사업자는 한.미 ROU의 본래의 취지와는 달리 경영의 자율성 침해와 조달의 비효율성 증가로 인하여 많은 추가비용을 지불하고 있다. 따라서 본 고는 국내통신사업의 발전과 규제완화라는 측면에서 정부조달협정 중에서 가장 파급효과가 큰 한.미 ROU의 개정협상을 위한 방향을 모색해 보았다.
