	Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The OECD is at the forefront of efforts to understand, and to help governments to respond to, new developments and concerns.
		OECD databases span areas as diverse as national accounts, economic indicators, the labour force, trade, employment, migration, education, energy, health, industry, taxation and the environment.
		Among other areas, the OECD has taken a role in co-ordinating international action on corruption and bribery, creating the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, which came into effect in February 1999.

	EcoWin - Economic database: OECD Economic Outlook
		The Economic Outlook database is a comprehensive and consistent macroeconomic database of the OECD economies, covering expenditures, foreign trade, output, employment and unemployment, interest rates and exchange rates, the balance of payments, outlays and revenues of government and of households, and government debt.
		The OECD assessments of the future trends of key macroeconomic variables are better characterised as conditional projections rather than forecasts, since they are conditional on a set of technical assumptions about macroeconomic policies, nominal exchange rates and the path of oil- and non-oil commodity prices.
		Thus, the OECD projections provide answers to questions like:’What is likely to happen in country X if the government maintains the current set of macropolicies?’ or, ‘On present policies, what kind of imbalances or pressure points are likely to develop over the next two years e.g.

	OECD Observer: Migration and EU enlargement
		The renewed interest in labour-related migration in many OECD countries in the last decade, as well as the predominance of family reunification and the great number of asylum seekers, counters criticism of what is termed ”Fortress Europe”.
		The unemployment rate among foreigners in some European OECD countries is twice that of their percentage in the total labour force.
		Indeed, some OECD countries have begun focusing more energy and finance on training and supporting new arrivals, in part to help them to integrate more rapidly into the labour market or to retain those who might otherwise move on to competitor countries.

	OECD
		One of the key areas of concern of the OECD as it affects the Bahamas is taxation.
		The stated objective of the OECD’s efforts to eliminate harmful tax practices is to encourage an environment in which free and fair tax competition can contribute to economic growth and development worldwide, and not to dictate to any country how its tax system should be structured or what its tax rates should be.
		In order to avoid being included on the OECD’s list of Uncooperative Tax Havens (published in April 2002) and being subjected to possible defensive measures of the OECD, the jurisdictions listed in the 2000 report were required to make public commitments to the OECD in relation to transparency and the effective exchange of information.

		France and Germany both registered sharp decreases in inward investment which the OECD said in a report were largely due to repayments of inter-company loans that shifted money abroad.
		Regarding the surges in inward and outward U.S. investment, the OECD said developments last year partly reflected weakness in the dollar but also a spending spurred by U.S. companies.
		Inward investment flows to the OECD area were the lowest in seven years at $407 billion but still better than much of the 1990s, the OECD said, noting that sliding inflows had initially been U.S.-induced but were now due to continental Europe.

		As regular readers of Demys.net will recall, the OECD is itself no stranger to the difficulties of tracking cyber-snatchers who fail to provide their registrar with genuine contact details.
		The OECD finds that problems with WHOIS data quality in the gTLD regime partially reflect the fact that registrars have not always implemented the Accreditation Agreement measures in practice and that ICANN has not, until recently, enforced the agreements.
		The OECD also puts forward a word of caution to those domain name registrars and registries who allow private individuals or non-commercial entities to 'opt-out' of the publically available register of domain name ownership.

	OECD Observer
		Although natural phenomena such as large volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, the likes of El Niño or even changes in the earth’s tilt might all be contributing factors, carbon dioxide (CO2) generated by human activity—whether running homes and factories or driving cars and lawnmowers—is cited as a major culprit in the rise of global temperatures.
		When the OECD recently co-launched a new Middle East and North Africa project (MENA) on investment and governance in Jordan in February, there was much talk in the air about change and a new era.
		One of the most striking paradoxes of today’s OECD societies is that, although people live longer and healthier, they also tend to retire earlier and younger.

	OECD Attempts to Set Up Anti-Competition Tax Cartel
		The talks at the OECD's headquarters in Paris, which follow earlier meetings in Barbados and London, were meant to find a mutually acceptable way of ending the climate of secrecy in offshore financial centres so that rich industrialised nations can track down tax dodgers.
		OECD sources said the officials, including Britain's Gabriel Maklouf, who chairs the OECD's committee of fiscal affairs, were appalled by Mr Arthur's independent, pro-competition behaviour.
		An OECD spokesman said that the discussions later overcame their early difficulties and began focusing on serious and substantive issues, overunning their 5pm deadline in Paris.

	Letter to OECD Ministers 10/98
		We thank the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Government of Canada for the invitation to some public interest groups to participate in the OECD Ministerial Conference, "A Borderless World: Realising the Potential of Global Electronic Commerce," which is being held in Ottawa, Canada, on 7-9 October 1998 ("Ottawa Ministerial Conference").
		The promotion of electronic commerce by the OECD and member governments must be considered within the broader framework of protection of human rights, the promotion and strengthening of democratic institutions, and the provision of affordable access to advanced communication services.
		Consumer protection: The OECD should support the establishment of minimum standards for consumer protection, including the simplification of contracts, means for cancellation, effective complaint mechanisms, limits on consumer liability, non-enforceability of unreasonable contract provisions, recourse at least to the laws and courts of their home country, and cooperation among governments in support of legal redress.

	Regional position on harmful tax competition - 3601 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The OECD Initiative was developed in response to OECD concerns regarding the supposed erosion of their tax bases through mobile financial activities offered by offshore financial centres.
		The OECD’s Harmful Tax Initiative is forcing jurisdictions to choose between either committing to the Initiative (so suffering possible and immediate to long-term loss of economic activity through the loss of offshore sector clients) or not providing a commitment (and suffering loss of economic activity through the imposition of defensive measures by OECD members).
		The OECD is requested to commit to a consultative and inclusive process which would allow the development of a mutually acceptable outcome, comprising agreed constituent elements, able to be implemented by both OECD and non-OECD jurisdictions.
