El ACP de 2012 y la prevención de prácticas corruptas en la contratación pública: una evaluación comparativa
Virtual
En esta mesa redonda, los expertos internacionales se centran en una cuestión fundamental de gobernanza de los sistemas de contratación pública: la prevención de prácticas corruptas. Como se indica en el ACP de 2012, la integridad de los sistemas de contratación pública es fundamental para la gestión eficiente y eficaz de los recursos públicos, el desempeño de las economías y el funcionamiento del sistema multilateral de comercio. ¿Contiene el ACP de 2012 normas o disposiciones específicas que ayuden a las Partes en el ACP a impedir prácticas corruptas en la contratación pública abarcada por dicho Acuerdo? ¿En qué se diferencia de las normas de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas contra la Corrupción, la Convención de la OCDE para Combatir el Cohecho de Servidores Públicos Extranjeros en Transacciones Comerciales Internacionales y la Recomendación de la OCDE para Fortalecer la Lucha contra el Cohecho de Servidores Públicos Extranjeros? Estas y otras preguntas arrojarán luz sobre la función y el potencial del ACP de 2012 como instrumento eficaz para prevenir la corrupción.

¿Qué función y alcance debe tener la contratación pública ecológica en un entorno comercial internacional abierto?
Híbrida
En el ODS 12 de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible se hace un llamamiento a “[p]romover prácticas de adquisición pública que sean sostenibles, de conformidad con las políticas y prioridades nacionales” (meta 12.7). La contratación pública ecológica contribuye directamente a este objetivo. Sin embargo, apenas se debate cómo encajar esta cuestión en el sistema internacional de comercio abierto. Las normas del comercio internacional, incluidas las establecidas en el Acuerdo sobre Contratación Pública de 2012 de la OMC y en los ALC, ¿ayudan u obstaculizan a los países en el cumplimiento de este objetivo? ¿Qué se debe hacer, y cómo se debe actuar, para que la contratación pública contribuya a un comercio internacional más sostenible y, al mismo tiempo, ayude a los países a dar el paso hacia economías circulares con emisiones de carbono más bajas (es decir, para conseguir una recuperación más ecológica)? ¿Cuál es la mejor manera de conciliar comercio y medio ambiente en la esfera de la contratación pública y de “asegurarnos de que la OMC respalde óptimamente la economía verde y circular” (como señaló la Directora General de la OMC, Dra. Okonjo-Iweala)? Esta actividad tuvo lugar en el marco del Foro Público de la OMC de 2021.
