    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: Reconhecendo a necessidade de melhores abordagens, adaptadas à aprendizagem e à prestação de contas em situações de conflito, o Comité de Ajuda ao Desenvolvimento (CAD) lançou uma iniciativa para desenvolver orientações para avaliar as atividades de prevenção de conflitos e de construção da paz. O objetivo deste processo tem sido o de ajudar a melhorar as práticas de avaliação e, assim, de apoiar a comunidade mais alargada de peritos e de organizações de implementação a melhorar a qualidade das intervenções de prevenção de conflitos e de construção da paz. Procura igualmente orientar os decisores políticos, técnicos na sede e no terreno, e os parceiros do país no sentido de alcançar uma melhor compreensão do papel e da utilidade das avaliações. As linhas de orientação apresentadas neste livro fornecem o enquadramento sobre questões políticas fundamentais que afetam o envolvimento dos doadores em contextos de conflito e de fragilidade e apresenta alguns dos desafios para a avaliação específicos nestes contextos. Em seguida, proporciona orientações detalhadas sobre os passos fundamentais no planeamento, implementação e aprendizagem a partir da avaliação, bem como alguns princípios básicos sobre a conceção e gestão de programas.

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Overcoming barriers to international investment in clean energy
    DDC: 353.6
    Keywords: Umweltschutzinvestition ; Nachhaltige Energieversorgung ; Welt ; Environment ; Finance and Investment ; Erneuerbare Energien ; Investition ; Handelshemmnis
    Abstract: The perceived potential of clean energy to support employment in the post-crisis recovery context has led several OECD and emerging economies to design green industrial policies aimed at protecting domestic manufacturers, notably through local-content requirements (LCRs). These typically require solar or wind developers to source a specific share of jobs, components or costs locally. Such requirements have been designed or implemented in the solar- and wind-energy sectors in at least 21 countries, including 16 OECD countries and emerging economies, mostly since 2009. Empirical evidence gathered in this report shows however that LCRs have actually hindered international investment across the solar PV and wind-energy value chains, by increasing the cost of inputs for downstream activities. This report also takes stock of other measures that can restrict international investment in solar PV and wind energy, such as trade remedies and technical barriers. This report provides policy makers with evidence-based analysis to guide their decisions in designing clean-energy support policies.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Open Government in Latin America
    Keywords: Governance
    Abstract: Los países de América Latina han implementado importantes reformas de gobierno abierto durante los últimos años. La combinación de los esfuerzos a nivel nacional con el soporte que los países han obtenido por parte de la Alianza para el Gobierno Abierto (AGA) ha sido benéfica para lograr avances cruciales en diversas áreas relacionadas al gobierno abierto. Entre 2013 y 2014, la OCDE - como socio oficial multilateral de la AGA - llevó a cabo un estudio para conocer el estado actual de los estrategias y prácticas de gobierno abierto en la región. Este reporte presenta los principales hallazgos producto de la implementación de un cuestionario regional enfocado a recabar información sobre estrategias de gobierno abierto, acceso a la información y datos abiertos. En paralelo, el reporte presenta tres casos de estudio que analizan a fondo el estado del gobierno abierto en Costa Rica, Perú y Colombia. El cuestionario y el marco analítico están basados en la experiencia y estándares de la OCDE lo que permitirá a los países latinoamericanos conocer y evaluar la situación de la región en cara a las mejores prácticas internacionales. Se presentan los principales logros y desafíos regionales de una manera comparativa con la finalidad de posicionar las prácticas nacionales e institucionales desde una perspectiva global. Aparte del análisis comparativo de datos e información, el proyecto busca reforzar el marco institucional de los países partícipes del presente estudio con la finalidad de facilitar la implementación de los compromisos adquiridos dentro de la AGA y fortalecer la red regional de oficiales nacionales a cargo de gobierno abierto.

    Series Statement: Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes
    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes peer reviews: Kazakhstan 2015
    DDC: 343.04
    Keywords: Steuer ; Finanzverwaltung ; Internationale Zusammenarbeit ; Kasachstan ; Taxation ; Kazakhstan
    Abstract: The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by over 120 jurisdictions which participate in the work of the Global Forum on an equal footing. The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes. These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004, which has been incorporated in the UN Model Tax Convention. The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. “Fishing expeditions” are not authorised, but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard. All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction’s legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined – Phase 1 plus Phase 2 – reviews. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.

    Keywords: Doppelbesteuerung ; Steuervermeidung ; Gewinnverlagerung ; Besteuerungsverfahren ; OECD-Staaten ; G20-Staaten ; Taxation
    Abstract: Drawing on the expertise of public international law and tax experts, this report explores the technical feasibility to develop a multilateral instrument to modify tax treaties so as to efficiently implement the tax treaty-related BEPS measures. The report concludes that such an instrument is desirable and feasible and that negotiations for the multilateral instrument should be convened quickly. Based on this analysis, a mandate has been developed for an ad-hoc group, open to the participation of all countries on an equal footing, to develop the multilateral instrument and open it for signature in 2016.

    Abstract: La Stratégie de la croissance verte de 2011 a fourni les orientations initiales aux gouvernements sur la manière d’engendrer la croissance économique et le développement, tout en empêchant des dommages environnementaux coûteux et une utilisation inefficace des ressources. Quels progrès ces pays ont-ils réalisés afin d’harmoniser leurs priorités économiques et environnementales depuis 2011 ? Ce rapport examine ces progrès et souligne les améliorations possibles permettant d’élever les ambitions et d’accroître l’efficacité des politiques pour une croissance verte. Il tire également les leçons de l’intégration de la croissance verte dans le programme de travail de l’OCDE, notamment la manière dont les gouvernements peuvent améliorer leur cadre institutionnel et leur gouvernance afin de saisir les opportunités économiques d’une transition vers une économie verte. Le rapport propose aussi des moyens d’enrichir la Stratégie pour une croissance verte, en s’appuyant sur les travaux entrepris depuis son lancement en 2011.

    Abstract: This report contains the 2014 “Phase 2: Implementation of the Standards in Practice” Global Forum review of Liechtenstein. The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by over 120 jurisdictions which participate in the work of the Global Forum on an equal footing.

    Keywords: Auskunftspflicht ; Internationales Steuerrecht ; Steuervermeidung ; Gewinnverlagerung ; Besteuerungsverfahren ; OECD-Staaten ; G20-Staaten ; Taxation
    Abstract: The lack of timely, comprehensive and relevant information on aggressive tax planning strategies is one of the main challenges faced by tax authorities worldwide. Mandatory disclosure regimes can enable countries to quickly respond to tax risks by providing early access to such information. This report includes an overview of mandatory disclosure regimes, based on the experiences of countries that have such regimes, and sets out recommendations for a modular framework for use by countries wishing to implement or amend mandatory disclosure rules in order to obtain early information on aggressive or abusive tax planning schemes and their users. The recommendations provide the necessary flexibility to balance a country’s need for better, more timely information with the compliance burdens for taxpayers. This report also sets out specific recommendations for rules targeting international tax schemes, as well as for the development and implementation of more effective information exchange and co-operation between tax administrations.

    Abstract: This report examines how countries perform in their ability to prevent, manage and treat cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes. The last 50 years have witnessed remarkable improvements in CVD outcomes. Since 1960, overall CVD mortality rates have fallen by over 60%, but these improvements are not evenly spread across OECD countries, and the rising prevalence of diabetes and obesity are threatening to offset gains. This report examines how OECD countries deliver the programmes and services related to CVD and diabetes. It considers how countries have used available health care resources to reduce the overall burden of CVD and diabetes, and it focuses on the variation in OECD health systems’ ability to convert health care inputs (such as expenditure) into health gains.

    Abstract: Afin de conserver les grandes avancées obtenues depuis 2000 et relever les défis à plus long terme de l'Afrique, il est essentiel pour les gouvernements africains et leurs partenaires internationaux d’assurer le maintien des engagements en faveur du développement, ainsi que le suivi et l’évaluation des résultats. Tel est l’objet de ce huitième Examen mutuel de l’efficacité du développement en Afrique préparé par la Commission économique pour l’Afrique et l’Organisation de Coopération et de Développement Économiques, répondant à un mandat confié par les chefs d’État et de gouvernement des pays du Nouveau partenariat pour le développement de l’Afrique (NEPAD). Considérant le passage à l'Agenda 2030 et les objectifs de développement durable récemment adoptés, cette édition 2015 s’articule autour de quatre grandes thématiques : croissance économique durable, investir dans le bien-être des populations, bonne gouvernance et financement du développement. Elle propose un examen approfondi de la concrétisation des engagements pris dans 19 domaines et étudie les priorités à venir pour l’action publique. Ce rapport se veut un outil concret à l’intention des dirigeants politiques et des décideurs. Il porte sur l’Afrique dans son ensemble, tout en prenant acte de l’extraordinaire diversité qui caractérise le continent.

    Abstract: The 2011 Green Growth Strategy provided initial guidance to governments on how to achieve economic growth and development, while preventing costly environmental damage and inefficient resource use. What progress have countries made in aligning economic and environmental priorities since 2011? This report attempts to evaluate this progress and highlight where there is broad scope to heighten the ambition and effectiveness of green growth policy. It draws lessons from green growth mainstreaming across the OECD’s work programme, notably in terms of how governments can maximise institutional settings to seize economic opportunities surrounding the transition to a green economy, and considers ways to enrich the Green Growth Strategy based on work undertaken since its launch.

It covers three areas: 1) mitigation targets and goals, 2) carbon pricing instruments (such as energy and carbon taxation, emissions trading systems, as well as support for fossil fuels) and 3) key domestic policy settings in the energy and other sectors (including renewable energy, power generation and transport, innovation and R&D, and mitigation policies in agriculture, forestry, industry and waste sectors). The report is accompanied by an online country profiles tool containing more detailed information.

    Keywords: Umweltpolitik ; Klimaschutz ; Klimapolitik ; Treibhausgas-Emissionen ; OECD-Staaten ; Klimaänderung ; Treibhausgas ; Klimaschutz ; Anpassung ; Strategie ; Nachhaltigkeit ; Energy ; Environment ; Finance and Investment ; Governance ; Taxation ; Transport ; Trade ; Erde ; Klimaschutz
    Abstract: This report produced in co-operation with the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Transport Forum (ITF) and the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) identifies the misalignments between climate change objectives and policy and regulatory frameworks across a range of policy domains (investment, taxation, innovation and skills, trade, and adaptation) and activities at the heart of climate policy (electricity, urban mobility and rural land use). Outside of countries’ core climate policies, many of the regulatory features of today’s economies have been built around the availability of fossil fuels and without any regard for the greenhouse gas emissions stemming from human activities. This report makes a diagnosis of these contradictions and points to means of solving them to support a more effective transition of all countries to a low-carbon economy.

    Keywords: Immaterialgüterrechte ; IP-Management ; Innovation ; Malaysia ; Science and Technology ; Malaysia
    Abstract: In order to attain its objective of becoming a high-income economy by 2020, Malaysia is engaged in efforts to enhance the performance of its innovation system. A range of challenges need to be addressed and different policy tools can help in this respect. For this purpose the national intellectual property (IP) system can play a pivotal role. This review assesses how Malaysian's national IP system promotes innovation and offers recommendations to improve the design of the system. It does so by analysing the organisation and governance of Malaysia's IP system as well as opportunities and challenges for different local users - ranging from small businesses to frontier companies and public research institutions. Moreover, the review discusses the state of IP markets in Malaysia and related policies and provides a comprehensive set of statistics describing the use of IP in Malaysia in recent years.

    Abstract: Die Expansion der digitalen Wirtschaft stellt das internationale Steuerrecht vor eine Reihe von Herausforderungen, die in diesem Bericht analysiert werden. Da die digitale Wirtschaft immer mehr zur Wirtschaft an sich wird, ist eine strikte Trennung der digitalen Wirtschaft vom Rest der Wirtschaft für Steuerzwecke nicht möglich. Einige Geschäftsmodelle und wesentliche Merkmale der digitalen Wirtschaft können die Risiken von Gewinnverkürzung und Gewinnverlagerung (BEPS) jedoch verstärken. Diesen Risiken wird mit den Arbeiten zu den anderen Punkten des BEPS-Aktionsplans begegnet, die auch den entscheidenden Merkmalen der digitalen Wirtschaft Rechnung tragen. Dieser Bericht analysiert außerdem einige allgemeinere Herausforderungen, vor denen die Besteuerung im Bereich der digitalen Wirtschaft steht, und erörtert potenzielle Optionen zu ihrer Bewältigung. Zur Evaluierung dieser allgemeineren Herausforderungen und potenziellen Lösungsansätze werden 2015 allerdings weitere Arbeiten durchgeführt werden müssen.

    Abstract: The new OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises provide an internationally agreed benchmark to help governments assess and improve the way they exercise their ownership functions in state-owned enterprises. Good corporate governance of state-owned enterprises is a key reform priority in many countries. Improved efficiency and better transparency in the state owned sector will result in considerable economic gains, especially in countries where state ownership is important. In addition, creating a level playing field for private and state-owned enterprises will encourage a sound and competitive business sector. The Guidelines, first adopted in 2005, provide a set of good practices on the legal and regulatory framework for state-owned enterprises (SOEs), the professionalisation of the state ownership function and the corporate governance arrangements of SOEs. This new version of the recommendation was developed in the light of almost a decade of experiences with its implementation and a number of thematic and comparative studies, developed on the basis of the earlier version of the Guidelines, that showed the need for, and supported, their revision, including in areas such as disclosure and transparency, public-private competition, board practices and funding and financing of SOE.

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Multi-dimensional review of Myanmar ; Vol. 2: In-depth analysis and recommendations
    Keywords: Development ; Myanmar ; Birma ; Entwicklung
    Abstract: Building on an initial assessment of constraints to development in Myanmar (Volume 1), this second volume provides analysis and policy recommendations in three key areas: structural transformation, education and skills, and financing development. It finds that Myanmar faces a crucial few years to shape growth towards a higher, more sustainable and equitable trajectory. To succeed, it will require a transformation of the economy from an agrarian base reliant on small-scale agriculture at present towards a broad range of modern activities. Building up the right skills in the workforce will be essential to support this structural transformation. Myanmar’s transformation will also depend upon how effectively the country can mobilise and allocate the financial resources needed to support its development, which could amount to as much as an additional 5-10% of GDP on average over the next two decades.

    Abstract: How do cities govern themselves as they grow bigger? The answer can shape the competitiveness and quality of life in those cities and depends on a number of factors, ranging from the country's institutional framework to the cities' specific socioeconomic dynamics. This report presents a typology of metropolitan governance arrangements observed across OECD countries and offers guidance for cities seeking for more effective co-ordination, with a closer look at two sectors that are strategic importance for urban growth: transport and spatial planning. The report draws from international examples of metropolitan governance mechanisms, and includes a series of in-depth case studies in a selection of six large metropolitan areas: Aix-Marseille (France), Frankfurt (Germany), Athens (Greece), Daejeon (Korea), Puebla-Tlaxcala (Mexico), and Chicago (United States).

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes peer reviews: Colombia 2015
    Keywords: Steuer ; Finanzverwaltung ; Internationale Zusammenarbeit ; Kolumbien ; Taxation ; Colombia
    Abstract: This report contains the 2014 “Phase 2: Implementation of the Standards in Practice” Global Forum review of Colombia. The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by over 120 jurisdictions which participate in the work of the Global Forum on an equal footing. The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes. These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004, which has been incorporated in the UN Model Tax Convention. The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. “Fishing expeditions” are not authorised, but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard. All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction’s legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined – Phase 1 plus Phase 2 – reviews. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.

    Keywords: Qualifikation ; Soziale Kompetenz ; Emotion ; Intelligenz ; OECD-Staaten ; Education
    Abstract: Today’s children will need a balanced set of cognitive, social and emotional skills in order to succeed in modern life. Their capacity to achieve goals, work effectively with others and manage emotions will be essential to meet the challenges of the 21st century. While everyone acknowledges the importance of socio-emotional skills such as perseverance, sociability and self-esteem, there is often insufficient awareness of “what works” to enhance these skills. Teachers and parents don’t really know whether their efforts at developing these skills are paying off, and what they could do better. Policies and programmes designed to measure and enhance socio-emotional skills vary considerably within and across countries. This report presents a synthesis of the OECD’s analytical work on the role of socio-emotional skills and proposes strategies to raise them. It analyses the effects of skills on a variety of measures of individual well-being and social progress, which covers aspects of our lives that are as diverse as education, labour market outcomes, health, family life, civic engagement and life satisfaction. The report discusses how policy makers, schools and families facilitate the development of socio-emotional skills through intervention programmes, teaching and parenting practices. Not only does it identify promising avenues to foster socio-emotional skills, it also shows that these skills can be measured meaningfully within cultural and linguistic boundaries.

    Abstract: ¿Cómo va la vida? 2015. Medición del bienestar describe los componentes esenciales que conforman el bienestar de las personas en los países de la OCDE y los países asociados. Incluye una gran variedad de estadísticas que abarcan tanto el bienestar material (ingresos, empleo y vivienda) como la calidad de vida en un sentido más amplio (salud, educación, balance vida-trabajo, medio ambiente, comunidad o apoyo social, compromiso cívico, satisfacción ante la vida y seguridad). En el informe se presenta la evidencia más reciente sobre el bienestar, así como su evolución en el tiempo y la distribución de los resultados de bienestar entre diferentes grupos de la población. Esta tercera edición de ¿Cómo va la vida? 2015. Medición del bienestar nos ayuda a comprender el bienestar en nuevas y diferentes formas. Se presta especial atención al bienestar de los niños, concluyendo que no todos tienen un buen inicio en la vida, y que los niños que pertenecen a familias de escasos recursos enfrentan mayores riesgos en su bienestar. En el informe se presentan nuevas medidas para capturar algunos de los recursos naturales, humanos, sociales y económicos que contribuyen a sostener el bienestar a lo largo del tiempo. En un capítulo sobre el trabajo de voluntariado se sugiere que éste puede crear un círculo virtuoso: hacer el bien propicia que las personas se sientan bien consigo mismas y aporta varios beneficios de bienestar adicionales, no solamente para los voluntarios sino también para la sociedad en su conjunto. Por último, en el informe se analizan las desigualdades de bienestar que prevalecen entre las diferentes regiones de los países, y se demuestra que el lugar donde habitan las personas puede influir de manera importante en sus oportunidades para vivir bien. ¿Cómo va la vida? 2015. Medición del bienestar es parte de la Iniciativa para una Vida Mejor de la OCDE, la cual incluye una serie de publicaciones sobre medición del bienestar, así como el Índice para una Vida Mejor, un sitio web interactivo que tiene por objetivo incluir a las personas en el debate sobre qué significa para ellos una vida mejor.

Die Analyse richtet den Blick auf vier miteinander verknüpfte Bereiche – Finanzierung, Innovation, Kooperation mit ländlichen Gemeinden im Umland und Governance – und schlägt eine lösungsorientierte Typologie auf der Grundlage bestimmter städtischer Merkmale vor. Dabei wird insbesondere festgestellt, dass ein nachhaltiges Wassermanagement das Zusammenwirken verschiedener staatlicher Ebenen voraussetzt, die mit lokalen Initiativen und Akteuren zusammenarbeiten.

This report examines the role, performance and impact of farm advisory services, training and extension initiatives in the OECD area to foster green growth in agriculture. Based on a series of case studies, the report discusses a range of methodological issues and the merits of the different types of providers, and identifies best practices in sustainable agricultural management.

    Abstract: Este libro recoge las estrategias innovadoras en 28 países con el fin de ofrecer ideas e inspiración a las autoridades fiscales en los países en desarrollo con respecto a la educación de los contribuyentes y la divulgación para fortalecer la moral tributaria y el cumplimiento fiscal de sus ciudadanos. Los gobiernos se están esforzando más que nunca para movilizar una mayor recaudación tributaria a nivel nacional. Para ello, están llegando cada vez más a informar y comprometer generaciones de contribuyentes (de hoy - y futuras). El objetivo es fomentar una "cultura de cumplimiento" global basado en los derechos y responsabilidades, en el que los ciudadanos ven el pago de impuestos como un aspecto integral de su relación con su gobierno. En este contexto, la educación del contribuyente se convierte en el puente que une a la administración tributaria y los ciudadanos. Las autoridades fiscales son conscientes de que es muy difícil cambiar la cultura tributaria sin educación a una edad temprana o sin ciudadanos que abrazan voluntariamente el pago de impuestos. Estos esfuerzos son, en su mayor parte, bastante nuevo. La mayoría de los programas de educación de los contribuyentes, especialmente en América Latina y África, fueron creados durante la última década. Sin embargo, a pesar de esta corta historia, la educación del contribuyente cada vez mas se incluyó entre las líneas de negocio estratégicas de las administraciones tributarias.

    Abstract: People today are living longer than ever before, while birth rates are dropping in the majority of OECD countries. Such demographics raise the question: are current public social expenditures adequate and sustainable? Older workers play a crucial role in the labour market. Now that legal retirement ages are rising, fewer older workers are retiring early, but at the same time those older workers who have lost their job after the age of 50 have tended to remain in long term unemployment. What can countries do to help? How can they give older people better work incentives and opportunities? These reports offer analysis and assessment on what the best policies are for fostering employability, job mobility and labour demand at an older age.

    Keywords: Taxation
    Abstract: La presente pubblicazione contiene il testo ufficiale della Convenzione Multilaterale sulla Mutua Assistenza Amministrativa in materia fiscale, come modificata dal Protocollo del 2010. La Convenzione originaria è stata elaborata congiuntamente dal Consiglio d’Europa e dall’OCSE ed è stata aperta alla firma degli Stati membri di entrambe le Organizzazioni il 25 gennaio 1988. La Convenzione originaria è stata modificata nel 2010 al fine di armonizzarla con gli standard internazionali in materia di scambio di informazioni a fini fiscali e per aprirla all’adesione di tutti i Paesi, rispondendo all’appello del G20 di consentire a tutti i Paesi di trarre vantaggio dal nuovo contesto di cooperazione in materia fiscale mediante un iter più semplice. La Convenzione modificata dal Protocollo 2010 è entrata in vigore il 1° giugno 2011. La suddetta Convenzione mira ad aiutare i Governi ad assicurare il rispetto delle loro leggi fiscali e fornisce un quadro giuridico internazionale per la cooperazione tra Paesi per contrastare l’evasione e la frode fiscali a livello internazionale. La Convenzione offre una gamma di strumenti destinati alla cooperazione amministrativa in materia fiscale, prevedendo tutte le forme di scambio di informazioni, l’assistenza alla riscossione delle entrate e la notifica dei documenti. Facilita altresì i controlli congiunti e la condivisione di informazioni per contrastare altri delitti gravi (per esempio: il riciclaggio di denaro, la corruzione) quando siano state soddisfatte determinate condizioni. Tutela i diritti dei contribuenti, fornisce ampie garanzie per proteggere la confidenzialità delle informazioni scambiate, in particolare, riguardo ai dati personali. Il funzionamento di questa Convenzione multilaterale autonoma è supervisionato da un organo di coordinamento costituito dalle Parti alla Convenzione.

    Abstract: The Dutch food, agriculture and horticulture sector is innovative and export oriented, with high value-added along the food chain and significant world export shares for many products. Continuous adoption of innovation has permitted to reach high levels of productivity and sustained productivity growth, in particular at the farm level, in a context of increasing environmental regulatory constraints. The challenge is whether marginal improvements in current technologies and know-how will be enough to pursue current rates of productivity growth – sustainably – and whether the innovation system will be able to generate the new ideas that are needed to face future challenges, including those linked to climate change.

    Abstract: Les menaces de sécurité numérique potentiellement lourdes de conséquences économiques sont récemment devenues plus nombreuses et sophistiquées, alors même que l’environnement numérique est devenu un maillon essentiel du fonctionnement de l’économie et un facteur important de croissance, de bien-être et d’inclusivité. Pour profiter pleinement des avantages liés à l’environnement numérique, les parties prenantes doivent absolument cesser d’aborder le risque de sécurité numérique sous un angle technique dissocié de considérations économiques et sociales plus larges. Il leur faut d’urgence intégrer la gestion de ce risque à leurs processus décisionnels en matière économique et sociale. Les responsables de l’action publique doivent également mesurer toute la complexité du risque de sécurité numérique dans ses multiples dimensions, de la prospérité économique et sociale aux activités de police (lutte contre la « cybercriminalité ») en passant par la défense, la sécurité nationale et la sécurité internationale. Cette Recommandation de l'OCDE et son document d'accompagnement offrent des orientations sur ces aspects.

    Abstract: The global fleet of powered two-wheelers (PTWs) is constantly increasing. In many countries, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds play a significant role in mobility, particularly in many of the world’s large cities. As such, PTWs are becoming an important component of the transport system. However, they represent an important challenge for road safety. PTW riders are at far more risk than car drivers per kilometre ridden in terms of fatalities and severe injuries entailing long-term disability. Moreover, they have not benefited from safety improvements at the same pace as car occupants over recent decades. Addressing the issue of PTW safety is thus an essential contribution to the success of the United Nations’ Decade of Action for Road Safety, which aims at halving the expected number of road deaths worldwide by 2020. This report reviews recent trends in powered two-wheeler crashes, the factors contributing to these crashes and their severity. It describes a set of countermeasures targeting user behaviours, the use of protective equipment, the vehicles and the infrastructure. Finally, it discusses motorcycle safety strategies in the context of a safe system.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Innovation, Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability in Canada
    Keywords: Agriculture and Food ; Environment ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; Science and Technology ; Industry and Services ; Canada
    Abstract: Pour l’essentiel, le secteur canadien de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture est compétitif et axé sur les exportations. Bien que les défis et opportunités du secteur agricole canadien varient nettement selon les régions, le secteur agricole primaire bénéficie d’abondantes ressources naturelles et les contraintes environnementales auxquelles il est assujetti sont limitées. Du fait de son climat et de sa géographie, le Canada diffère notamment de nombreux autres pays exportateurs nets dans la mesure où son agriculture représente une part de l’utilisation des terres et de l’eau bien moindre. Les principales atteintes à l’environnement qui lui sont dues tiennent à la pollution de l’eau par les éléments nutritifs localisée dans certains endroits. Les gains de productivité résultant de l’innovation et des changements structurels ont entraîné une hausse de la production et des revenus sans trop peser sur les ressources. Le secteur agricole canadien, axé sur les exportations, doit impérativement être capable d’innover pour tirer profit de l’augmentation et de l’évolution de la demande mondiale de produits agroalimentaires.

    Keywords: Betrieblicher Standort ; Internationales Steuerrecht ; Steuervermeidung ; Gewinnverlagerung ; Besteuerungsverfahren ; OECD-Staaten ; G20-Staaten ; Taxation
    Abstract: This report includes changes to the definition of permanent establishment in the OECD Model Tax Convention that will address strategies used to avoid having a taxable presence in a country under tax treaties. These changes will ensure that where the activities that an intermediary exercises in a country are intended to result in the regular conclusion of contracts to be performed by a foreign enterprise, that enterprise will be considered to have a taxable presence in that country unless the intermediary is performing these activities in the course of an independent business. The changes will also restrict the application of a number of exceptions to the definition of permanent establishment to activities that are preparatory or auxiliary nature and will ensure that it is not possible to take advantage of these exceptions by the fragmentation of a cohesive operating business into several small operations; they will also address situations where the exception applicable to construction sites is circumvented through the splitting-up contracts between closely related enterprises.

    Abstract: This book brings together a collection of papers prepared for the Global Forum on Agriculture that took place at the OECD in December 2014. It reviews current knowledge about agricultural policy and agricultural trade policy settings, and questions its pertinence in light of the profound market and structural changes that have been taking place in the global agro-food sector in recent decades. It aims to inform and assist policy-makers and negotiators as they seek to overcome the problems that have made the agricultural pillar of the Doha Agenda trade negotiations particularly difficult. The data and analysis presented cover OECD countries and major G20 and emerging economies that account for the great bulk of global food production, consumption and trade.

    DDC: 343.67110402632
    Keywords: Taxation ; Cameroon
    Abstract: Le Forum mondial sur la transparence et l’échange de renseignements à des fins fiscales est l’enceinte multilatérale au sein de laquelle le travail en matière de transparence fiscale et d’échange de renseignements est mené par plus de 120 juridictions participant, sur un pied d’égalité, aux travaux du Forum mondial. Le Forum mondial est chargé de la surveillance approfondie et de l’examen par les pairs de la mise en œuvre des standards en matière de transparence et d’échange de renseignements en matière fiscale. Ces standards sont essentiellement reflétés dans le Modèle d’accord d’échange de renseignements en matière fiscale et ses commentaires publiés en 2002 par l’OCDE et dans l’article 26 du Modèle de convention fiscale concernant le revenu et la fortune de l’OCDE et ses commentaires, tels que mis à jour en 2004. Ces standards ont aussi été repris dans le Modèle de convention fiscale des Nations Unies. Les standards prévoient l’échange de renseignements sur demande des informations vraisemblablement pertinentes pour l’administration et l’application de la législation fiscale interne de la partie requérante. La pêche aux renseignements n’est pas autorisée mais tous les renseignements vraisemblablement pertinents doivent être fournis, y compris les renseignements bancaires et les renseignements détenus par des agents fiduciaires, sans tenir compte de l’existence d’un intérêt fiscal national. Tous les membres du Forum mondial, ainsi que les juridictions identifiées par le Forum mondial comme pertinentes pour ses travaux, seront examinés. Ce processus est réalisé en deux phases. L’examen de phase 1 évalue la qualité du cadre juridique et réglementaire des juridictions en matière d’échange de renseignements alors que l’examen de phase 2 se concentre sur la mise en œuvre pratique de ce cadre. Certains membres du Forum mondial font l’objet d’un examen combiné – phase 1 et phase 2. Le but final vise à aider les juridictions à mettre effectivement en œuvre les standards internationaux en matière de transparence et d’échange de renseignements en matière fiscale.

    Keywords: Steuer ; Finanzverwaltung ; Internationale Zusammenarbeit ; Senegal ; Taxation ; Senegal ; Senegal ; Finanzverwaltung
    Abstract: The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by over 120 jurisdictions which participate in the work of the Global Forum on an equal footing. The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes. These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004, which has been incorporated in the UN Model Tax Convention. The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. “Fishing expeditions” are not authorised, but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard. All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction’s legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined – Phase 1 plus Phase 2 – reviews. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.

    Abstract: Cette publication réalisée conjointement par l’OCDE et la Commission européenne présente la première grande comparaison internationale sur les résultats des immigrés et de leurs enfants entre tous les pays de l’UE et de l’OCDE, au travers de 27 indicateurs d'intégration organisés autour de cinq grands thèmes: emploi, éducation et compétences, inclusion sociale, citoyenneté active et cohésion sociale (chapitres 5 à 12). Trois chapitres contextuels présentent les caractéristiques démographiques, celles spécifiques à la population immigrée ainsi que la composition des ménages immigrés (chapitre 2 à 4). Deux chapitres spéciaux sont dédiés à des groupes spécifiques. Les jeunes issus de l’immigration, dont les résultats sont souvent pris comme référence pour évaluer le succès ou l’échec de l’intégration, constituent le premier groupe. Le second groupe est formé par les ressortissants de pays tiers dans l’Union européenne, et constitue un groupe cible des politiques d’intégration de l’Union européenne.

    Keywords: Aufsichtsbehörde ; Kolumbien ; Governance ; Colombia ; Kolumbien ; Telekommunikation ; Regulierung ; Aufsichtsbehörde
    Abstract: Measuring regulators’ performance can strengthen the contribution of regulatory policies to sustainable growth and development. While measuring a regulator’s performance is a fundamental function of a “world class” regulator, it is challenging, starting with the definition of what should be measured and including the attribution of outcomes to regulators’ actions and the availability of robust and evidence-based evaluation methodologies. This review is the first application of an innovative methodology that helps regulators address these challenges and improve the way in which they assess their own performance. The mehtodology puts performance measurement in the wider context of governance arrangements of economic regulators. The review finds a close link between the independence of the regulator and performance. It also stresses the importance of focusing on regulatory tools and processes and measuring their quality to help improve performance. It highlights the need to define clear goals to develop output and outcome indicators that can be actionable and useful for the regulator. The review provides a roadmap for strengthening performance assessment by Colombia's communications regulator and is expected to help advance the better regulation agenda of other Colombian regulators and economic regulators of OECD members.

    Abstract: En raison de la mobilité et de la fongibilité de l’argent, les groupes multinationaux peuvent aisément obtenir des résultats fiscaux favorables en jouant sur le montant de la dette au sein d’une entité du groupe. L’approche recommandée fait en sorte que les déductions nettes d’une entité au titre d’intérêts sont directement liées à son activité économique, sur la base d’un certain pourcentage de son résultat avant charges d’intérêts, impôts, amortissement et provisions (EBITDA). Cette approche associe trois éléments : une règle fondée sur un ratio déterminé qui repose sur un ratio de référence intérêts nets/EBITDA ; une règle fondée sur un ratio de groupe qui autorise une entité à déduire plus de charges d’intérêts dans certaines circonstances, en fonction de la position de son groupe mondial ; et des règles ciblées qui traitent des risques spécifiques. Un pays peut décider de ne pas adopter la règle fondée sur un ratio de groupe, mais doit alors appliquer la règle fondée sur un ratio déterminé aux entités appartenant à des groupes multinationaux et nationaux, sans faire de discrimination indue.

    Abstract: The Preservation of Records, Knowledge and Memory (RK&M) across Generations initiative was launched by the Nuclear Energy Agency in 2011 to foster international reflection and progress towards this goal and to meet increasing demands by waste management specialists and other interested parties for viable and shared strategies. The RK&M initiative is now in its second phase, which is to last until 2017. Phase I culminated on 15‑17 September 2014 with the organisation of an international conference and debate on "Constructing Memory" held in Verdun, France. The conference was attended by approximately 200 participants from 17 countries and 3 international organisations. Participants included specialists from the radioactive waste management area and beyond, academics in the fields of archaeology, communications, cultural heritage, geography and history, as well as artists, archivists, representatives from local heritage societies and from communities that could host a radioactive waste repository.

The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. “Fishing expeditions” are not authorised, but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard. All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction’s legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined – Phase 1 plus Phase 2 – reviews. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Managing food insecurity risk
    DDC: 630
    Keywords: Ernährungssicherung ; Indonesien ; Agriculture and Food ; Indonesia
    Abstract: Many of the recent concerns about food security relate to perceived threats to current levels of food security, such as those due to price shocks or natural disasters. These threats concern the risk of food insecurity. This publication develops a risk-management tool to examine the robustness of policy responses to managing risks and uncertainty across a variety of different threats to food security, and applies the framework to an Indonesia case study. Five risk scenarios were selected as major threats to food security in Indonesia, following a consultation process among stakeholders and policy makers, and assessed in terms of existing and alternative agricultural and social policies. The risk assessment shows that domestic economic and natural disaster scenarios are more important than global price hikes and that a policy strategy that concentrates on addressing a single source of risk, such as a price spike in international markets, may increase vulnerability to other sources of risk such as domestic crop failure. The analysis yields a number of specific policy recommendations, including targeting of social assistance programme using food vouchers or cash transfers.

    Abstract: Decommissioning of both commercial and R&D nuclear facilities is expected to increase significantly in the coming years, and the largest of such industrial decommissioning projects could command considerable budgets. Several approaches are currently being used for decommissioning cost estimations, with an international culture developing in the field. The present cost estimation practice guide was prepared in order to offer international actors specific guidance in preparing quality cost and schedule estimates to support detailed budgeting for the preparation of decommissioning plans, for the securing of funds and for decommissioning implementation. This guide is based on current practices and standards in a number of NEA member countries and aims to help consolidate the practice and process of decommissioning cost estimation so as to make it more widely understood. It offers a useful reference for the practitioner and for training programmes.

    Keywords: Environment
    Abstract: This Test Guideline describes a cytotoxicity-based in vitro assay that is performed on a confluent monolayer of Statens Seruminstitut Rabbit Cornea (SIRC) cells, cultured on a 96-well polycarbonate microplate. After five-minute exposure to a test chemical, the cytotoxicity is quantitatively measured as the relative viability of SIRC cells using the MTT assay. Decreased cell viability is used to predict potential adverse effects leading to ocular damage. Cell viability is assessed by the quantitative measurement, after extraction from the cells, of blue formazan salt produced by the living cells by enzymatic conversion of the vital dye MTT, also known as Thiazolyl Blue Tetrazolium Bromide. The obtained cell viability is compared to the solvent control (relative viability) and used to estimate the potential eye hazard of the test chemical. A test chemical is classified as UN GHS Category 1 when both the 5% and 0.05% concentrations result in a cell viability smaller than or equal to (≤) 70%. Conversely, a chemical is predicted as UN GHS No Category when both 5% and 0.05% concentrations result in a cell viability higher than (〉) 70%.

    Abstract: Agriculture is a provider of commodities such as food, feed, fibre and fuel, and it can bring both positive and negative impacts on the environment. Yet most policy measures target farm systems, inputs and practices and agricultural infrastructure (driving forces) rather than the provision of agri-environmental public goods (environmental outcomes). This report analyses how a handful of OECD countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, United Kingdom and the United States) defines agri-environmental public goods and sets agri-environmental targets and reference levels, and the policies they implement for targeting certain agri-environmental public goods.

    Series Statement: Nuclear Development
    Keywords: Nuclear Energy
    Abstract: Nuclear new build has been progressing steadily since the year 2000, with the construction of 94 new reactors initiated and 56 completed reactors connected to the grid. Among these new reactors are some of the first generation III/III+ reactors of their kind. Drawing on a combination of conceptual analysis, expert opinion and seven in-depth case studies, this report provides policy makers and stakeholders with an overview of the principal challenges facing nuclear new build today, as well as ways to address and overcome them. It focuses on the most important challenges of building a new nuclear power plant, namely assembling the conditions necessary to successfully finance and manage highly complex construction processes and their supply chains. Different projects have chosen different paths, but they nonetheless share a number of features. Financing capital-intensive nuclear new build projects requires, for example, the long-term stabilisation of electricity prices whether through tariffs, power purchase agreements or contracts for difference. In construction, the global convergence of engineering codes and quality standards would also promote both competition and public confidence. In addition, change management, early supply chain planning and “soft issues” such as leadership, team building and trust have emerged over and again as key factors in the new build construction process. This report looks at ongoing trends in these areas and possible ways forward.

    Keywords: Environment
    Abstract: This method provides information on health hazard likely to arise from exposure to liquid or solid test substance by dermal application. This Test Guideline recommends sequential testing strategies, which include the performance of validated and accepted in vitro or ex vivo tests for corrosion/irritation. The albino rabbit is the preferable laboratory animal. The substance to be tested is applied in a single dose to a small area of skin (approximately 6cm²) of an experimental animal; untreated skin areas of the test animal serve as the control. The exposure period is 4 hours. Residual test substance should then be removed. The dose is 0.5ml (liquid) or 0.5g (solid) applied to the test site. The method consists of two tests: the initial test and the confirmatory test (used only if a corrosive effect is not observed in the initial test). All animals should be examined for signs of erythema and oedema during 14 days. The dermal irritation scores should be evaluated in conjunction with the nature and severity of lesions, and their reversibility or lack of reversibility. When responses persist to the end of the 14-day observation period, the test substance should be considered an irritant.

    Keywords: Environment
    Abstract: This screening Test Guideline describes the effects of a test chemical on male and female reproductive performance. It has been updated with endocrine disruptor endpoints, in particular measure of anogenital distance and male nipple retention in pups and thyroid examination. The test substance is administered in graduated doses to several groups of males and females. Males should be dosed for a minimum of four weeks. Females should be dosed throughout the study, so approximately 63 days. Matings "one male to one female" should normally be used in this study. This Test Guideline is designed for use with the rat. It is recommended that each group be started with at least 10 animals of each sex. Generally, at least three test groups and a control group should be used. Dose levels may be based on information from acute toxicity tests or on results from repeated dose studies. The test substance is administered orally and daily. The results of this study include clinical observations, body weight and food/water consumption, oestrous cycle monitoring, offspring parameters observation/measurement, thyroid hormone measurement, as well as gross necropsy and histopathology. The findings of this toxicity study should be evaluated in terms of the observed effects, necropsy and microscopic findings. Because of the short period of treatment of the male, the histopathology of the testis and epididymus should be considered along with the fertility data, when assessing male reproductive effects.

    Abstract: Cette Ligne directrice décrit une procédure in vitro qui peut être utilisée pour identifier les dangers présentés par les produits chimiques irritants (substances et mélanges) conformément à la Catégorie 2 du Système général harmonisé de classification et d’étiquetage (SGH) de l’ONU. Elle s’appuie sur un épiderme humain reconstitué, qui dans sa conception globale, reproduit les propriétés biochimiques et physiologiques de la partie supérieure de la peau humaine. La viabilité cellulaire est mesurée par la conversion enzymatique du colorant vital MTT en un sel de formazan bleu, qui est mesuré quantitativement après extraction des tissus. Les produits chimiques testés irritants sont identifiés par leur capacité à réduire la viabilité cellulaire au-dessous d’un seuil défini (inférieur ou égal à 50% pour la Catégorie 2 du SGH de l’ONU). Cette Ligne directrice comprend aussi des normes de performance pour l’évaluation de méthodes d’essai similaires ou modifiées sur épiderme humain reconstitué. Quatre méthodes d’essai validées sont conformes à cette Ligne directrice. En fonction du cadre législatif et du système de classification utilisé, cette procédure peut être utilisée pour déterminer l’irritation cutanée de produits chimiques testés, en tant qu’essai de substitution d’essai d’irritation cutanée in vivo, ou en tant qu’essai de substitution partiel, dans le cadre d’une stratégie d’essai à plusieurs niveaux. Les produits chimiques colorés et ceux qui interfèrent avec le MTT peuvent également être testés par procédure HPLC.

    Keywords: Environment
    Abstract: This Test Guideline describes an in vitro procedure allowing the identification of chemicals (substances and mixtures) not requiring classification and labelling for eye irritation or serious eye damage in accordance with UN GHS. It makes use of reconstructed human cornea-like epithelium (RhCE) which closely mimics the histological, morphological, biochemical and physiological properties of the human corneal epithelium. The test evaluates the ability of a test chemical to induce cytotoxicity in a RhCE tissue construct, as measured by the MTT assay. Coloured chemicals can also be tested by used of an HPLC procedure. RhCE tissue viability following exposure to a test chemical is measured by enzymatic conversion of the vital dye MTT by the viable cells of the tissue into a blue MTT formazan salt that is quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues. The viability of the RhCE tissue is determined in comparison to tissues treated with the negative control substance (% viability), and is then used to predict the eye hazard potential of the test chemical. Chemicals not requiring classification and labelling according to UN GHS are identified as those that do not decrease tissue viability below a defined threshold (i.e., tissue viability 〉 60%, for UN GHS No Category).

    Abstract: The in vitro mammalian cell gene mutation test can be used to detect gene mutations induced by chemical substances. This TG includes two distinct in vitro mammalian gene mutation assays requiring two specific tk heterozygous cells lines: L5178Y tk+/-3.7.2C cells for the mouse lymphoma assay (MLA) and TK6 tk+/- cells for the TK6 assay. Genetic events detected using the tk locus include both gene mutations and chromosomal events. Cells in suspension or monolayer culture are exposed to, at least four analysable concentrations of the test substance, both with and without metabolic activation, for a suitable period of time. They are subcultured to determine cytotoxicity and to allow phenotypic expression prior to mutant selection. Cytotoxicity is usually determined by measuring the relative cloning efficiency (survival) or relative total growth of the cultures after the treatment period. The treated cultures are maintained in growth medium for a sufficient period of time, characteristic of each selected locus and cell type, to allow near-optimal phenotypic expression of induced mutations. Mutant frequency is determined by seeding known numbers of cells in medium containing the selective agent to detect mutant cells, and in medium without selective agent to determine the cloning efficiency (viability). After a suitable incubation time, colonies are counted.

    Abstract: Colombia’s record in extending health insurance and health services to its population is impressive. In 1990, around 1 in 6 of the population had health insurance. Now, nearly 97% do, with greatest expansion occurring amongst poorer households. Likewise, in 1993 out-of-pocket spending made up 52% of total national expenditure on health. By 2006, this had fallen to less than 15%. Although Colombia has high rates of income inequality (with a Gini coefficient of 53.5 in 2012, compared to the OECD average of 32.2), access to health care services is much more equal. In urban populations, for example, 1.8% of children aged less than two years of age are recorded as having received no routine vaccinations, compared to 1.0% of rural children. Colombia nevertheless faces important challenges to maintain and improve the performance of its health system. This report looks at Colombia’s health care system in detail and offers recommendations on what Colombia can do to ensure accessibility, quality, efficiency and sustainability.

    Abstract: Tackling mental ill-health of the working-age population is a key issue for labour market and social policies in OECD countries. OECD governments increasingly recognise that policy has a major role to play in keeping people with mental ill-health in employment or bringing those outside of the labour market back to it, and in preventing mental illness. This report on Australia is the ninth and last in a series of reports looking at how the broader education, health, social and labour market policy challenges identified in Sick on the Job? Myths and Realities about Mental Health and Work (OECD, 2012) are being tackled in a number of OECD countries. It concludes that policy thinking in Australia shows well-advanced awareness both of the costs of mental illness for society as a whole and of the health benefits of employment. However, challenges remain in: making employment issues a concern of the health care services; helping young people succees in their future working lives; making the workplace a safe, supportive psychosocial environment; and better designing and targeting employment services for jobseekers with mental ill-health.

    Keywords: Risikomanagement ; Katastrophenschutz ; Governance
    Abstract: Strategically managing crises is an essential responsibility of governments. Often critical decisions need to be made swiftly under difficult and complex conditions, as crises’ impacts may spread beyond national borders and can trigger significant economic, social and environmental knock-on effects. Governments have a significant role to play in strengthening the resilience of their populations, communities and critical infrastructure networks. This report highlights the changing landscape of crises that governments are confronted with today. It discusses new approaches to deal with both traditional and new kinds of crises, and invites reflection on how best governments can adapt to change. Topics covered include capacity for early warning and “sense-making”, crisis communication and the role of social media, as well as strategic crisis management exercises. Finally, the review proposes practical policy guidance for strategic crisis management.

    Keywords: OECD ; Urbanisierung ; OECD-Staaten ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; OECD ; Metropolregion ; Verstädterung
    Abstract: The report provides an outline of recent and likely future urbanisation trends and discusses the consequences. The world is in the middle of an urbanisation process that will cause urbanisation rates to rise from low double digit rates to more than 80% by the end of the century. It argues that this is both a great opportunity and a great challenge, as decisions taken today will affect the lifes of people for a long time to come. The report aims at explaining why cities exist, and what can make them prosperous and function well. It also discusses whether cities are good for residents, for the countries they are located in and for the global environment. The report argues that cities exist and grow because they are a source of economic prosperity and offer amenities that benefit their residents. It concludes that urbanisation is a process that needs to be shaped by policy makers to ensure that all benefit from it.

    Abstract: Groundwater has provided great benefits to agriculture irrigation in semi-arid OECD countries, but its intensive use beyond recharge in certain regions has depleted resources and generated significant negative environmental externalities. The report provides a characterisation of the diversity of groundwater systems, reviews policies in OECD countries, and proposes a package of recommendations to ensure that groundwater can sustain its services to agriculture and contribute to climate change adaptation.

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als National climate change adaptation
    Keywords: Klimaschutz ; Welt ; Environment ; Klimaänderung ; Klimaschutz
    Abstract: Developing countries are increasingly moving towards more strategic national policies and plans, the effectiveness of which will depend upon proper assessment of a given country’s vulnerability to climate change. This report draws upon emerging monitoring and evaluation practices across developed and developing countries to identify four tools that countries can draw upon in their own assessment frameworks: 1) climate change risk and vulnerability assessments, 2) indicators to monitor progress on adaptation priorities, 3) project and programme evaluations to identify effective adaptation approaches, and 4) national audits and climate expenditure reviews. The appropriate mix of tools to monitor and evaluate national climate-change adaptation will to a large extent be determined by data availability, monitoring and evaluation capacity, and the ability to bring together the producers and the users of relevant climate information. The report also examines how development co-operation providers can support partner countries in their efforts to monitor and evaluate adaptation.

    Series Statement: Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes
    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes peer reviews: Lesotho 2015
    DDC: 343.04
    Keywords: Steuer ; Finanzverwaltung ; Internationale Zusammenarbeit ; Lesotho ; Taxation ; Lesotho
    Abstract: The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by over 120 jurisdictions which participate in the work of the Global Forum on an equal footing. The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes. These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004, which has been incorporated in the UN Model Tax Convention. The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. “Fishing expeditions” are not authorised, but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard. All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction’s legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined – Phase 1 plus Phase 2 – reviews. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.

    Abstract: Bank lending is the most common source of external finance for many SMEs and entrepreneurs, yet has proven challenging to newer, innovative and fast growing companies, as well as to those undertaking important transitions in their activities or seeking to de-leverage and improve their capital structures. This report maps a broad range of external financing techniques to address diverse needs in varying circumstances, including asset-based finance, alternative debt, hybrid instruments, and equity instruments. It further highlights key enabling factors for their development, discusses major market trends and obstacles to SME uptake, and suggests some key areas of policy action to overcome challenges to market development.

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Governing the metropolitan city of Venice
    Keywords: Kommunalpolitik ; Venedig ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development
    Abstract: Prepared at the request of the City of Venice, this report explores the implications for Venice of the adoption in 2014 of new legislation on the governance of metropolitan cities. It builds on the analysis of the OECD Territorial Review of Venice (2010), analysing a number of different "functional geographies" of the larger urban region centred on Venice. The report argues that, although the new legislation offers some opportunities for Venice to address local challenges, it is important to look beyond the Metropolitan City of Venice as defined in the new legislation and to pursue greater governance co-ordination across the larger city region that encompasses Padua, Treviso and Venice (PaTreVe). Co-operation in the fields of transport, land use, environmental protection and water resources management is particularly important; there are also significant opportunities in the fields of culture and tourism. The report also outlines a possible way forward for governance co-operation at the level of PaTreVe.

    Abstract: Agriculture and the agro-processing sector in Brazil have shown impressive growth over the past two decades. This has largely been driven by productivity improvements and structural adjustment resulting from broad economic reforms, as well as new technologies developed by agricultural science. Government policy and industry initiatives are increasingly focused on the sustainability of agricultural development.

    Abstract: This report delivers evidence-based and practical recommendations on how to better support employment and economic development in Israel. It builds on sub-national data analysis and consultations with local stakeholders in Haifa and Yizreel. It provides a comparative framework to understand the role of the local level in contributing to more and better quality jobs. The report can help national and local policy makers in Israel build effective and sustainable partnerships at the local level, which join-up efforts and achieve stronger outcomes across employment, training, and economic development policies. Co-ordinated policies can help workers find suitable jobs, while also stimulating entrepreneurship and productivity, which increases the quality of life and prosperity within a community as well as throughout the country.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Talent Abroad; A Review of German Emigrants
    Keywords: Social Issues/Migration/Health ; Germany
    Abstract: 2010/2011 lebten mehr als drei Millionen in Deutschland geborene Personen in einem anderen OECD-Land. Um beurteilen zu können, welches Potenzial diese Auswandererpopulation für den deutschen Arbeitsmarkt darstellt, wird in diesem Bericht die Verteilung der deutschen Auslandsbevölkerung auf die einzelnen OECD-Länder sowie ihre Alters-, Geschlechts- und Bildungsstruktur ermittelt. Dabei wird eine Umorientierung der deutschen Auswanderer hin zu europäischen Zielländern und höheren Bildungsabschlüssen festgestellt. Die meisten deutschen Auswanderer sind nach wie vor in den Vereinigten Staaten ansässig, doch in der Schweiz und in Spanien ist die deutsche Auswandererbevölkerung besonders rasch gewachsen. Die internationalen Studierenden aus Deutschland stellen inzwischen sogar die größte Gruppe internationaler Studierender im OECD-Raum dar. Zwar erzielen deutsche Auswanderer weniger gute Arbeitsmarktergebnisse als die deutsche Inlandsbevölkerung, sie arbeiten jedoch überdurchschnittlich häufig in Berufen mit hohem Qualifikationsniveau. Die Erhebungsdaten deuten darauf hin, dass sich viele Deutsche in Deutschland mit Auswanderungsgedanken tragen und dass viele deutsche Auswanderer offen für eine eventuelle Rückkehr sind. Allerdings scheinen jene, die in den letzten Jahren zurückgekehrt sind, ein niedrigeres Bildungsniveau aufzuweisen als die, die ausgewandert sind.
