1. Please summarise briefly any relationship between the public
procurement / government contracting laws in your jurisdiction and
those of any supra-national body (such as WTO GPA, EU,
UNCITRAL).
For Switzerland, the most important international treaties are
the WTO's Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) and the
Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss
Confederation on certain aspects of government procurement
(Procurement Agreement with the EU).
The above-mentioned treaties are implemented at the federal
level by the Federal Act on Public Procurement (PPA) and the
Ordinance on Public Procurement (PPO). At the sub-federal level,
the treaties are implemented by the Intercantonal Agreement on
Public Procurement (IAPP) and the 26 enactment laws of the Swiss
Cantons.
