Of these, 12 members are in the process of acceding to the agreement. As a result, the first agreement on government procurement (the Tokyo Round Government Procurement Code) was signed in 1979 and entered into force in 1981. It was amended in 1987 and entered into force in 1988. Subsequently, in parallel with the Uruguay Round, the parties conducted negotiations on the extension of the scope and scope of the Agreement. Finally, on 15 April 1994, a new Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA 1994) was signed in Marrakesh at the same time as the Agreement Establishing the WTO, which entered into force on 1 January 1996. In the 1880s and 1890s, Puerto Ricans developed many different political parties, some of which sought independence from the island, while others, who, like their Cuban counterparts, had their headquarters in New York, preferred to ally with the United States. Spain proclaimed Puerto Rico`s autonomy on November 25, 1897, although the news did not reach the island until January 1898 and a new government was installed on February 12, 1898. Representatives of Spain and the United States signed a peace treaty in Paris on December 10, 1898, which established Cuba`s independence, ceded Puerto Rico and Guam to the United States, and allowed the victorious power to purchase the Philippine islands from Spain for $20 million. The war had cost the United States $250 million and 3,000 lives, 90 percent of which had died from infectious diseases. U.S.

In July 1898, disembarked soldiers, including the ninth and tenth African-American horsemen and the Rough Riders under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, opposed Kettle Hill, while forces led by Brigadier General Jacob Kent attacked San Juan Hill and pushed spanish troops further inland, causing 1,700 casualties. As the American commanders decided on another course of action, Admiral Cervera left the port only to be defeated by Schley. On July 16, the Spanish accepted the unconditional surrender of the 23,500 soldiers around the city. A few days later, Major General Nelson Miles sailed from Guantánamo to Puerto Rico. His troops landed near Ponce and marched towards San Juan with virtually no resistance. The GPA consists essentially of two parts: the text of the agreement and the parties` market access plans for commitments. U.S.
interest in buying Cuba had begun long before 1898. After the Ten Years` War, U.S. sugar interests bought large tracts of land from Cuba. Changes to the U.S. sugar tariff in favor of locally grown beet sugar helped revive revolutionary zeal in 1895. At the time, the United States had invested more than $50 million in Cuba, and annual trade, mainly in sugar, was worth twice as much. Enthusiasm for war had increased in the United States, despite President Grover Cleveland`s proclamation of neutrality on June 12, 1895. But the mood to enter the conflict grew in the United States when General Valeriano Weyler began to implement a policy of reconcentration that moved the population to central locations guarded by Spanish troops and, in February 1896, placed the entire country under martial law.
On December 7, President Cleveland repented and said that the United States could intervene if Spain did not end the crisis in Cuba. President William McKinley, who was inaugurated on March 4, 1897, was even more concerned about the involvement, especially after the New York Journal published a copy of a letter from Spanish Foreign Minister Enrique Dupuy de Lôme on February 9, 1898, criticizing the American president. Events moved quickly after the explosion aboard the USS Maine on February 15. The 9. In March, Congress passed a bill providing fifty million dollars for the strengthening of the military force. On March 28, the U.S. Court of Naval Investigation found that a mine had detonated Maine. On April 21, President McKinley ordered a blockade of Cuba, and four days later, the United States declared war. 1st Tokyo Round Public Procurement Code (1979) Apr. 1979:1979 Code signed Jan. 1981: 1979 The Code enters into force The Agreement aims to achieve this objective by providing a framework for cooperation in the conservation and management of these resources.
