Provide the Packing Group number from the UN Model Regulations 4, if applicable.

The Working Group may therefore wish to consider whether both Models 1 and 2 should be provided for in the Model Law, or only Model 1.

Given that neither model A nor model B take account of the proposal made by the Eastern European Group, my country deems them both unacceptable in their present form.

At its 2nd to 4th meetings, the expert group reviewed and amended the draft model bilateral agreement.

We begin this debate taking the model presented by the group of four as our point of reference.

The group of technical experts recommended that while the model and guide are being developed, the secretariat should

At its eighth session, the Working Group continued its work on proposals for the revision of the Model Law.

The Working Group decided that the Model Law should include an enabling provision to permit the opening of electronic tenders.

The Working Group considered the scope and extent of its revisions to the Model Law and the Guide to Enactment.

A social partnership group was working to develop a fully inclusive social insurance model that would include the partnership option.

The Expert Group requested the Secretariat to edit the revised guidelines and further elaborate the individual booklet model to be submitted to the Expert Group for consideration at its next meeting.

It decided to entrust the drafting of proposals for the revision of the Model Law to its Working Group I (Procurement).

Commentary on the proposed text for the Model Law, and outstanding issues for the Working Group to address follow the draft itself.

The background to the current work of Working Group I (Procurement) on the revision of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Procurement of Goods, Construction and Services (the UNCITRAL Model Procurement Law or the Model Law ) is set out in paragraphs 5 to 34 of document A CN.9 WG.I WP.37.

The type of information that was ultimately included in the Model Law's provisions was not necessarily considered in depth by the Working Group.

The background to the current work of Working Group I (Procurement) on the revision of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Procurement of Goods, Construction and Services (the Model Law ) is set out in paragraphs 5 to 33 of document A CN.9 WG.I WP.37, submitted to the Working Group for its consideration at the current session.

Most of the information that has historically been required to be published was considered by the Working Group when the Model Law was prepared.

The Secretariat also requests that a methodology and a statistical model be established in the context of the next meeting of the Working Group.

My country, being one of the sponsors of the model submitted by the group of four, has been reiterating its position for many years now.

After the presentations by representatives, the Chairman invited the expert group to consider and discuss the draft model bilateral agreement submitted by the United States.

Nonetheless, the Working Group considered that the Guide to Enactment should describe the concepts, referring to functional equivalence provisions in the Model Law as necessary.

The Working Group based its deliberations on proposed revisions to article 30 of the Model Law (A CN.9 WG.I WP.38 Add.1, para.

As far as we know, there were two variants for paragraph 3. One is based on the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce, the other on the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signatures. After discussion, the Working Group eventually adopted the former.

Some information was not considered by the Working Group at that time probably because it was considered that such information fell outside the scope of the Model Law or was linked to procurement procedures that the then Working Group did not consider, for example, framework agreements, or decided from the outset not to include in the Model Law, for example, suppliers' lists.

The Working Group agreed that a purely oral arbitration agreement should not be regarded as formally valid under the Model Law (A CN.9 508, para.

The Working Group was of the view that the use of electronic publication under the Model Law should remain optional (A CN.9 568, para. 27).

So I think eventually, once we have one of these models for people, which we'll get eventually I mean, our group won't get all the way there but eventually we'll have a very good computer model sort of like a global climate model for weather.

As regards the electronic publication of legal texts and other information, the Working Group agreed that the scope of article 5 of the Model Law should be expanded to cover all procurement related information that the Model Law required to be published, including legal texts.

The Working Group acknowledged the importance of appropriate procurement planning and contract administration for overall effective functioning of procurement and fulfilling the objectives of the Model Law.

Eventually, the new model will replace the old model.

OECD issued in 2002 the Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters (hereinafter referred to as OECD Model TIEA), which was developed by the OECD Global Forum Working Group on Effective Exchange of Information and resulted from the work undertaken by OECD to address harmful tax practices beginning with the 1998 OECD report (see OECD Model TIEA, introduction and paras.

The Working Group has agreed to provide for a general principle as to the form of communication in article 9 of the Model Law (A CN.9 575, paras. 32 and 33), which would apply to all types of communications dealt with in the Model Law.

The Commission was informed that the Working Group intended to complete its review of draft articles 17 and 17 bis of the Model Law, including finalizing its position on how to deal with ex parte interim measures in the Model Law, at its forthcoming two sessions.

Based on the model of the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering, the group is made up of Belarus, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Russian Federation and Tajikistan.

In both models, the auction would determine the successful supplier (unlike other possible models, which the Working Group had provisionally decided not to address in the Model Law).

The Working Group suspended its deliberations in order to complete the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Conciliation and the draft provisions relating to interim measures in arbitration.

Model

This model, a model of overlap, is the way to move forward.

At its forty second session (New York, 10 14 January 2005), the Working Group requested the Secretariat to consider the issue of the form in which the legislative provisions on interim measures and preliminary orders could be presented in the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration ( the Model Law ) and present possible variants for consideration by the Working Group at a future session (A CN.9 573, para.

Model 2

Model 3

Further, the Working Group may consider that not including a definition would be consistent with the general principle of addressing only procurement specific electronic commerce issues in the Model Law.

As regards abnormally low tenders (ALTs), the Working Group agreed to continue its consideration of new provisions to be incorporated in the Model Law enabling the identification of possible ALTs.
