    Abstract: This ECMT Round Table contains four papers that show how a disconnect between transport policy planning and spatial policy planning and measures have curtailed the effectiveness of transport policy. The papers discuss ways to overcome the lack of coordination between transport and spatial policies and formulate proposals on how fiscal incentives can help to avoid the failure of interjurisdictional co-ordination.

    Abstract: La République tchèque, à l'aube de l'adhésion à l'Union européenne, a connu une croissance relativement régulière et attiré un flux important d’investissements directs étrangers. L'un des défis majeurs auxquels la République tchèque doit faire face est de préserver le rôle de la région de la capitale de Prague et de ses environs comme moteurs de la croissance de l'économie nationale, tout en assurant un développement adéquat dans d'autres régions. Cette étude examine les sujets suivants : le chômage, l’aide à l’entreprenariat et l’adaptation aux nouvelles technologies ainsi que les obstacles indirects à la mobilité du travail.

    Abstract: The OECD Territorial Review of Mexico City highlights the region’s great potential for further growth, which is linked to the concentration of headquarters, educational establishments and research facilities, as well as high levels of FDI and rich cultural resources. However, it also reveals that this growth is constrained by low levels of human capital, inadequate infrastructure and widespread, acute poverty. The current governance framework, characterised by modest co-operation, also remains a sticking point for the region’s development.

    Abstract: En los países miembros de la OCDE resulta sorprendente el espectro, número y crecimiento de los programas de apoyo para la iniciativa empresarial y la microempresa. Buena parte del interés de política por fomentar la iniciativa empresarial se refleja en la convicción de que la creación de nuevas empresas contribuirá a facilitar el logro de importantes objetivos económicos y sociales. El aumento en el ritmo de creación de empresas es hoy una inquietud casi universal para las autoridades locales, al igual que para los gobiernos centrales que desean combatir la marginación económica local. Sin embargo, a pesar del amplio interés de política, pocos estudios han analizado sistemáticamente la relación entre la creación de nuevas empresas y el desarrollo económico local. Esta publicación analiza las principales rutas a través de las cuales la creación de empresas y su desarrollo puede tener un impacto sobre las economías locales. Así, se analiza la evidencia empírica acerca de la relación entre la iniciativa empresarial y las economías locales. Asimismo, se demuestra que aunque la creación de empresas puede resultar un componente crucial para el desarrollo económico local, el fomento de la iniciativa empresarial no constituye una panacea para el desarrollo. Por ello, se discuten a profundidad una serie de limitaciones potenciales de las estrategias orientadas hacia la iniciativa empresarial y cómo estas limitaciones pueden contrarrestarse. Este libro presenta detalladas recomendaciones de política tanto en el ámbito gubernamental local como nacional. Las recomendaciones se relacionan con tres ámbitos temáticos: estrategia, financiamiento y diseño de programas. Se espera que estos lineamientos sean de utilidad para los gobiernos centrales y locales en el diseño y la puesta en marcha de programas y estrategias eficaces en términos de costos. En este sentido, la presente publicación describe los tipos de investigación que deben llevarse a cabo para lograr un mejor entendimiento de los temas clave de política.

    Abstract: Las tendencias económicas recientes, que se reflejan en una mayor presión en términos económicos, la reforma del Estado benefactor, el surgimiento de la sociedad civil y la democracia participativa, han destacado la importancia creciente del sector sin fines de lucro en los países de la OCDE. Este sector, a menudo asociado con conceptos como “la economía social”, “el tercer sector”, “el sector de trabajo voluntario”, “el tercer sistema”, “el sector independiente” y, más recientemente, “la iniciativa empresarial social”, se ha enfrentado a una serie de retos cruciales. Entre ellos se encuentra el impulso para introducir criterios administrativos rigurosos, mientras que a la vez se mantiene la dimensión social única del sector y se fomenta la innovación social. Esta publicación ofrece una evaluación integral y transformadora de las nuevas tendencias en el ámbito de los estudios sobre el sector sin fines de lucro. Contiene contribuciones de expertos y académicos líderes en esta disciplina, y analiza los acontecimientos más significativos registrados en este sector en los países de la Unión Europea, Estados Unidos, Canadá, México y Australia. Asimismo, presenta un análisis comparativo y detallado de las herramientas y métodos empleados para financiar, supervisar y evaluar este sector de actividad económica y social. Este libro es una lectura fundamental para los diseñadores de políticas, practicantes en el sector y académicos interesados en conocer los más recientes acontecimientos teóricos y empíricos registrados en este sector en continua expansión.

    Abstract: The report reviews progress on the availability of broadband access across the OECD area. It particularly focuses on benchmarking digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable modem expansion and availability, as well as the emergence of broadband wireless as a platform to provide low-cost high-performance access networks in rural and remote areas. The paper finds that DSL availability is proceeding apace, with around three-quarters of existing subscriber lines being able to provide service by 2003. Cable networks pass 58% of households with just under three-quarters of those networks having been upgraded for broadband access. The paper also explores the increasing capabilities of wireless...

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. OECD Territorial Reviews: Montreal, Canada 2004
    Keywords: Governance ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; Canada
    Abstract: Dans de nombreux pays de l'OCDE, les zones métropolitaines sont morcelées en diverses unités territoriales qui ne correspondent pas à la zone géographique plus large où se posent les problèmes économiques et sociaux. Si le déséquilibre qui en découle n'est pas un phénomène nouveau, le morcellement apparaît de plus en plus comme une des causes majeures des dysfonctionnements des grandes villes comme les disparités fiscales internes, l’étalement urbain et la polarisation spatiale qui constituent à leur tour un obstacle à la compétitivité. Ce rapport examine le cas de la région métropolitaine de Montréal qui a connu l'une des plus audacieuses réformes institutionnelles parmi les pays de l'OCDE. D'un côté, on a procédé à des fusions de municipalités pour créer deux nouvelles villes : Montréal et Longueuil. De l'autre, la grande région économique fonctionnelle s'est dotée d'une nouvelle structure, la Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, représentant 63 municipalités. Ces réformes institutionnelles constituent une occasion appréciable de relever le défi de la compétitivité de Montréal. Certains aspects du nouveau cadre de gouvernance métropolitaine demandent cependant à être consolidés, en particulier en ce qui concerne la clarification des compétences, des responsabilités et des ressources fiscales. La rationalisation des structures institutionnelles et des ressources fiscales ne sera toutefois pas suffisante. La mise en œuvre, et pas seulement l’élaboration, d’une stratégie économique globale pour toute la région métropolitaine constituera pour Montréal le principal défi à relever dans les années à venir. L’Examen Territorial de Montréal s’inscrit dans un programme plus vaste d’examens territoriaux nationaux et thématiques, menés par le Comité des Politiques de Développement Territorial de l’OCDE. L’objectif général des examens territoriaux est de fournir des recommandations pratiques aux gouvernements dans trois domaines: la gouvernance à plusieurs niveaux, le développement durable aux échelons régional et local, et les réseaux régionaux au service de la compétitivité.

    Abstract: Metropolitan areas in many OECD countries are fragmented into various territorial units, which do not correspond to the larger geography of economic and social problems. While the ensuing mismatch is not a new phenomenon, increasingly, fragmentation appears as one of the root causes of metropolitan dysfunctions, such as internal fiscal disparities, urban sprawl, and spatial polarisation, which in turn constitute an obstacle for competitiveness. This review examines the case of the metropolitan region of Montreal which has undergone one of the most radical institutional reforms in OECD countries. On the one hand, the amalgamations of municipalities led to the creation of the two new cities of Montreal and Longueuil. On the other hand, a new metropolitan body was set up to cover the whole functional and economic area — the Montreal Metropolitan Community (CMM). These institutional reforms provide a valuable opportunity to meet the challenges of Montreal's competitiveness. The new governance framework needs however to be consolidated, especially with regards to clarification of competencies and fiscal responsibilities and resources. Streamlining institutional structures and fiscal resources will not be enough. Implementing and not simply elaborating a comprehensive economic strategy for the whole metropolitan region will be the main challenge for Montreal in the following years.

    Abstract: The European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) has adopted a new approach to strengthening its work on road safety. It is now working to contribute more effectively to the debate on the improvement of road safety policies by conducting peer reviews of the measures and policies enacted by member countries. Lithuania is the first country to undertake this type of review in the safety field. This review, carried out by experts from Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden and the ECMT Secretariat, is an effective way for Lithuania to openly examine its policies and practices through detailed expert comment, discussion and insight on its activities. The peer review process is used extensively within the OECD and its affiliated organisations, always originating at the request of the country being reviewed. Apart from providing an open appraisal of national policies, the review process should help relevant Ministries obtain needed resources and implement effective policies and practice.

Some of the measures will be hard measures, which include taxes, emission standards, speed limits, and other fiscal and regulatory instruments. Others will be soft, such as the provision of information and the use of communication strategies and educational techniques. The book examines the measures needed.

    Abstract: One of the key barriers to improving urban public transport access has been a lack of co-ordination between local authorities and public transport operators. The European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) and the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) have joined forces to examine how public authorities and transport operators can better work together to improve urban public transport vehicles, systems, and associate infrastructure. This report is the fruit of a joint ECMT-UITP task force. It explores how improved co-operation between transport operators and local authorities — along with a close sustained dialogue with members of the disabled community — can ensure better accessibility to public transport. With a focus on four cities: Gothenburg, Grenoble, Prague and Liverpool, the report identifies the critical elements of partnerships between public authorities at different levels of government and public transport operators.

    Abstract: À La Réunion, les performances économiques ont été fortement influencées par les tranferts sociaux en provenance de la métropole. Si cette politique a permis un certain rattrapage sur le reste du pays, elle ne parvient plus à diminuer significativement le chômage et à réduire les inégalités. L'île a besoin d'une stratégie d'ouverture aux économies voisines et de diversification de sa base économique. Ce rapport recommande de mettre l'accent sur l'amélioration de l'environnement concurrentiel et d'accélérer les coopérations avec les économies voisines. Il suggère de restructurer et d'optimiser le système d'aides et de donner plus de moyens aux instances locales et régionales pour mener des politiques d'investissement dynamiques.

    Keywords: Employment ; Governance ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development
    Abstract: New forms of governance are emerging. Government, business and civil society are increasingly seeking ways to develop and pursue economic development strategies and solve socio-economic problems jointly. Regional strategic platforms, partnerships, open governments and other agents of change help release the potential of their area thanks to better co-ordination, and adaptation of public policies to local conditions. This book examines how the new forms of governance overcome administrative, political and financial obstacles and impact local prosperity and the quality of life. These new approaches are illustrated with the results of some of the ambitious initiatives taken by Belgium, the Czech Republic, Mexico, Norway, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

    Abstract: Few studies have systematically examined the relationship between the creation of new firms and local economic development -- yet it is a universal concern for central and local governments wishing to combat localised economic distress. This book examines the principal routes through which enterprise creation can have a positive impact on local economies. Recommendations cover three thematic areas: strategy, finance and programme design. The book is for investment agencies, entrepreneurs seeking to invest locally and economists in the corporate sector. "Overall, this is an excellent overview of the key issues concerning entrepreneurship and local economic development. While primarily aimed at the pragmatic policymakers, who will find it extremely valuable, it also has the rigor and breadth to interest researchers and students."

    Abstract: Every day, thousands are injured and almost 350 people are killed on the roads of OECD countries. New technologies could reduce this toll by as much as 40%. However, considerable challenges need to be overcome in order to achieve these benefits. Billions of dollars are currently being spent to develop new technologies which are not related to safety, and many of these may have a negative impact on road safety if action is not taken to ensure their compatibility with current road systems. This report evaluates the global impact of new technologies on road safety and provides recommendations to governments and industry to ensure that fatalities and injuries in road traffic are reduced.

Debate at the seminar between stakeholders in the transport and environment communities revealed a large measure of agreement on the importance of demand management and on the instruments that should be employed. A small number of cases of good practice were identified in integrated transport, land use planning and charging for the use of infrastructure.

    Abstract: Relatively little has been done by governments to facilitate the essential flows of goods in urban areas and to reduce the adverse impacts of urban goods transport on the communities served. This has resulted in increasing problems associated with goods delivery including competition with passenger transport for access to road infrastructure and space for parking/delivery facilities. How should OECD countries deal with the challenges they face in this area? This report analyses measures taken in many cities and provides recommendations for dealing with these challenges.

    Abstract: Qu’il s’agisse de la pression économique grandissante, de la réforme de l’État-providence, de l’essor de la société civile ou de la démocratie participative, les récentes tendances socio-économiques ont souligné l’importance croissante du secteur à but non lucratif dans les pays de l’OCDE. Ce secteur a été confronté à un nombre important de nouveaux défis. Parmi eux figure la volonté d’introduire des critères de management rigoureux tout en conservant d’une part la dimension sociale propre au secteur et en stimulant, d’autre part, l’innovation sociale. Ce rapport offre un bilan détaillé des nouveaux développements les plus importants dans les pays de l’Union européenne, aux États-Unis, au Canada, au Mexique et en Australie. Il propose également une étude minutieuse des outils et méthodes utilisés pour financer et évaluer ce secteur d’activités sociales et économiques. Cet ouvrage est destiné aux décideurs et chercheurs dans le secteur des entreprises.

Almost every experience is unique and one of the main conclusions of the Round Table is that a record should be kept of each event with regard to its organisation and staging requirements. In this way, an event “memory” could be built up and made available to any would-be event organiser. The Round Table is the first stage in this process.

    Keywords: Employment ; Governance ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development
    Abstract: Decentralising labour market policy is a delicate and challenging subject of political debate. Does decentralisation really enable co-ordination of policies? At the local level, how do we make the best use of decentralised powers? How can greater flexibility be provided in managing policies while still guaranteeing efficiency and accountability? To enhance responsiveness to citizens’ needs, governments increasingly decentralise the way policies are designed and implemented. In the labour market policy area, many stakeholders, from business and local government to community groups and NGOs have been receptive. The OECD invited leading experts and experienced policy makers and practitioners to address these questions and share their experiences in dealing with such issues. This report, supported by statistical data, summarises the lessons learnt from their experiences. It is for researchers, leading experts, business communities, economists in government circles and NGOs.

    Abstract: Les ministres de l’Environnement des pays de l’OCDE ont approuvé lors de leur réunion de mai 2001 une série des lignes directrices pour progresser sur la voie des transports écologiquement viables (TEV). Ces lignes directrices, qui s’appuient sur les résultats et conclusions du projet sur les TEV auquel ont été associés de nombreux pays membres et non membres de l’OCDE, offrent une solution pour rendre la politique des transports plus viable et améliorer la qualité de vie. Elles ont été élaborées pour favoriser le développement économique et le bien-être individuel sans entraîner d’impact excessif au plan de la santé et de l’environnement ni appauvrir les ressources restreintes. Les lignes directrices pour les TEV guideront les pouvoirs publics, à tous les niveaux, dans l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre de stratégies axées sur les TEV, lesquelles, pour être efficaces, devront prendre en compte les particularités géographiques et socio-économiques des pays ou régions. Ces lignes directrices constituent une approche souhaitable et réaliste pour le secteur des transports, mais elles trouveront aussi une application utile dans le développement durable d’autres secteurs.

    Abstract: A la fin des années 1990, la Région du Grand Helsinki s’est affirmée comme un pôle économique compétitif à l’échelle internationale. Cet examen passe en revue les facteurs ayant contribué à cette réussite et les nouveaux enjeux qui en découlent en matière de développement. L’économie finlandaise est fortement tributaire du secteur de la téléphonie mobile et des télécommunications en général, ce qui préoccupe sérieusement les pouvoirs publics. Aujourd’hui, le positionnement stratégique de la grappe industrielle du secteur des TIC finlandais se fonde sur un scénario associant profits élevés et prise de risques considérables. Le maintien de la compétitivité de la région sur le long terme exige une stratégie de diversification plus fine, autrement dit le développement des activités du secteur des TIC bien au-delà du cadre de la grappe industrielle actuelle. L’inclusion sociale constitue également une question cruciale. La persistance du chômage chez les personnes à faible niveau de formation et les disparités croissantes en matière de revenu nécessitent une restructuration des politiques appliquées dans le passé. La Région du Grand Helsinki doit trouver de nouvelles façons de promouvoir la cohésion sociale. Conséquence de l’accroissement de la compétitivité économique, la rapidité de la croissance démographique exige de réitérer les engagements en faveur d’une croissance maîtrisée et d’un développement compact. Tous ces enjeux nécessitent une meilleure coordination métropolitaine, les besoins en la matière étant ici examinés successivement. L’examen territorial d'Helsinki s’inscrit dans un programme plus vaste d’examens territoriaux nationaux et thématiques, menés par le Comité des Politiques de Développement Territorial de l’OCDE. L’objectif général de la série des examens régionaux thématiques est de fournir des recommandations pratiques de politique aux gouvernements dans trois domaines: la gouvernance à plusieurs niveaux, le développement durable aux échelons régional et local, et les réseaux régionaux au service de la compétitivité.

    Abstract: Recent socio-economic trends, welfare state reform; the emergence of civil society and democracy have highlighted the growing significance of the non-profit sector – a sector between state and market – often associated with concepts such as ‘social economy’, ‘third sector’, ‘voluntary sector’, ‘third system’, ‘independent sector’ and, more recently, ‘social entrepreneurship’. This sector is facing a number of crucial new challenges such as management quality whilst both maintaining the sector's unique social dimension and fostering social innovation. Drawing on contributions from leading experts and academics, this report provides ground-breaking assessment of new trends; reviews the significant non-profit sector developments in EU countries, the US; Canada; Mexico and Australia; and provides tools on how to finance, monitor and evaluate the sector. This book, supported by statistical data, is for policy makers, practitioners, academics and the corporate sector.

    Abstract: OECD's Territorial Review of the Vienna/Bratislava region. The Vienna-Bratislava region on the Austrian-Slovak border rapidly increased its competitiveness after 1989, following a 40 year separation by the Iron Curtain. As a result of the removal of many national and international barriers, trade flows and foreign direct investment have flourished, and regional growth, above national averages, has reduced internal disparities. However, new obstacles to further integration have emerged. Institutional reforms and stronger cross-border collaboration will enable the region to improve transport infrastructure, tackle restrictions on labour mobility, and better link the learning and productive systems on both sides of the border.

    Keywords: Governance ; Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; Denmark ; Sweden
    Abstract: OECD's comprehensive territorial review of the Oresund region of Denmark and Sweden. Competitiveness is increasingly cited as the key objective of regional economic policy. In the same way that company executives strive to improve their market share and national governments are introducing competitiveness strategies, policy makers in urban areas are looking for ways to increase or maintain the competitive edge of their cities. This is a daunting task in any situation, but particularly so when, as in this case, the functional economic area concerned stretches across national boundaries. The constituent regions of Öresund, comprising the island of Zealand in Denmark, home of Copenhagen, and Sweden’s Skåne region which hosts the country’s third biggest city, Malmö are both wealthy areas. It is a “learning region” and has a strong presence in some high technology sectors. As such, the key to future growth is not simply the creation of a fixed link between the two parts of the region or improved flexibility in an expanded labour market. The region must look outward and compete with other metropolitan areas to retain and augment the assets that give it, at present, a strong competitive position in the “new economy”.

    Abstract: The Greater Helsinki Region emerged from the 1990s as an internationally competitive economy. This review examines the factors contributing to this success and the new development challenges it has created. One critical policy question is the Finnish dependence on the telecom/mobile industry. The current strategic positioning of the Finnish ICT cluster builds on a high-return/high-risk scenario. Long-term regional competitiveness requires a more focused strategy of diversification, i.e. developing ICT activities beyond the current cluster scope. Social inclusion is another crucial issue. Persistent unemployment among the less educated population and growing income disparities are calling for the restructuring of past policies. The Greater Helsinki Region needs to find ways to promote new opportunities of social cohesion. Rapid population growth has resulted from greater economic competitiveness requiring renewed commitment to managed growth and compact development. All of these challenges create needs for greater metropolitan co-ordination that are examined in turn.

    Abstract: This book examines the major rural developments and the issues that policy makers have been dealing with across the OECD over the last two decades. The OECD Conference, held in Siena, Italy, in July 2002, on the Future of Rural Policy, identified the need for rural policies to look beyond agriculture and offer new trajectories of development. It concluded that the major shift necessary to guarantee the future vitality of rural regions is the diversification of their economies. The papers examine key critical issues, including the EU LEADER Community Initiative and the Mexican Micro-region programme and provide a new approach that recognises the importance of the interdependence between rural and urban areas, fostering investment (rather than distributing subsidies). This approach also emphasises governance structures that get the locals involved in grass root initiatives to develop and implement new policies. This book is for practitioners and policy makers involved in grass root policies.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Transport et développement économique
    Keywords: Transport
    Abstract: The linkage between transport and economic development is a highly contentious issue which has generated considerable debate and an abundant literature. There is a firmly-held belief among politicians that investment in transport infrastructure promotes economic development and, by extension, employment. However, this belief is not borne out by scientific analysis, which would seem to indicate that the impact of this type of investment on employment and economic development remains limited, at least in developed countries, and at the purely regional level can even prove negative. The Round Table set out to clarify this issue by analysing the arguments for and against the presumed linkage between "transport infrastructure" and "economic development". This provided a basis on which it could draw conclusions regarding the evaluation methods of investment commonly used. The debate ended with a review of the basic policy issue of whether or not a link existed between transport and economic growth.

    Abstract: OECD's territorial review of the Italian province of Siena. It finds that Siena, a predominantly rural province in central Italy, has enjoyed steady economic growth throughout the post-war period. This success has its roots in a diverse economy based on manufacturing, services, high-value-added agriculture and a dynamic tourism sector. Nonetheless, it is these last two sectors that give Siena its main competitive advantage: an outstanding concentration of high-quality environmental and cultural resources which are unique to the region. The promotion of different sustainable development initiatives has been motivated by the need to ensure the valorisation and conservation of this major asset. This is most apparent in the effort to ensure that the region's development is not spoilt by the impact of mass tourism and an uncoordinated offer. The agrarian landscape also faces an uncertain future as the bulk of the cultivated land area remains dependent on EU subsidies, notwithstanding the market success of many agricultural producers. To respond to the challenges of sustainable development, Siena needs to fully integrate its development objectives with the most effective means to bring them about, in a co-ordinated and long-term planning exercise.

    Abstract: Decisions to invest in transport infrastructure projects require careful deliberation. Governments need evaluation methods to ensure that their scarce resources are allocated in a way that maximises their net return to society. How can the efficiency of allocating funds for transport infrastructure be improved? Is the widely-used approach of cost-benefit analysis appropriate? Does transport infrastructure investment have wider impacts on regional development which need to be taken into account in determining infrastructure investment priorities? Do we find evidence of such impacts in evaluations of major transport infrastructure projects? Which impacts might be included in future appraisal methods? Which impacts matter? How do evaluation frameworks match government policy objectives? This report provides insights into these key issues by analysing illustrative studies of the impacts of transport infrastructure investments.

    Abstract: Globalisation and advances in information and communication technologies are reshaping the world’s trading patterns. Today’s internationally competitive businesses work through strategic, integrated global networks designed to deliver efficient and high-quality response to demands from anywhere in the world. This trend has given rise to the terms "global logistics" or "supply-chain management". In addition, growing environmental concerns require that logistics should not only be efficient; they should also contribute to sustainable development. The OECD TRILOG project aimed to provide insights into these key issues through an exchange of experiences relating to freight transport logistics in the Asia-Pacific, Europe and North American regions. This report attempts to identify constraints and address issues common to the three regions, and suggest possible solutions and approaches that could facilitate the development of policies to promote efficient and sustainable international logistics.

What measures are being developed in OECD countries for assessing the relative efficiency of modes and modal combinations? What opportunities exist to improve complex intermodal transport chains? How are such opportunities identified and assessed? Today’s highly competitive global market calls for intermodal transport systems that meet industry’s expectations in efficiency and reliability as well as government’s sustainability expectations. While benchmarking is a tool for achieving such objectives, how are these benchmarking exercises best implemented? This report analyses illustrative benchmarking exercises to provide insights into these important questions.

    Abstract: The Environment Ministers of OECD member countries endorsed the Guidelines for moving towards Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST) at their meeting in May 2001. These Guidelines are based on the results and conclusions of the EST project involving many OECD and non-OECD countries and provide a solution to making transport policy more sustainable and enhancing quality of life. They have been developed to enable economic development and individual welfare without causing undue health and environmental impacts and depletion of finite resources. The EST Guidelines will assist governments at all levels in the development and implementation of strategies towards EST. Effective implementation of the EST Guidelines requires strategies that accommodate the particular geographic and socio-economic conditions of countries or regions.These guidelines guidelines represent a desirable and feasible approach for the transport sector that may also be of value in the sustainable development of other sectors.

The real tragedy is that, to a large extent, these crashes and the resultant deaths and injuries could be prevented. This report identifies and assesses "best practices" among road safety programmes in OECD countries. Emphasis is placed on those programmes that have been evaluated. In addition, the underlying criteria that influence the success or failure of these "best practices" are identified to facilitate the development of effective road safety policies in Member countries.

    Abstract: Moving people and freight in an environmentally sustainable manner will be one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. Overall, insufficient progress has been made so far towards achieving environmental sustainability for the transport sector. A new target-oriented approach is needed that places environment and health at the top of the policy agenda for transport and related sectors, at international, national and local levels. The OECD’s Working Group on Transport recently concluded a five-year work programme with the development of Guidelines for Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST) and supporting analytical reports, endorsed by OECD Environment Ministers at their meeting in Paris on 16 May 2001.

What frameworks exist to evaluate the impact and efficiency of these measures and strategies? And how effective are they? With the continued growth forecast in car ownership and distance travelled, what are the expected trends in CO2 emissions and their consequences for the potential achievement of the Kyoto Protocol? What models are available to predict the level of CO2 emissions? Are they useful? This report, which has been prepared by an OECD Working Group, uses a number of illustrative and pragmatic cases to provide important insights into these major questions.

    Abstract: La Canada peut se diviser en trois grandes régions : un corridor méridional concentrant toutes les zones métropolitaines importantes, une périphérie rurale non contiguë aux zones très urbanisées et un sous-continent septentrional très isolé. Les disparités entre ces trois grandes régions ne diminuent pas mais se creusent plutôt. Ces déséquilibres affectent le potentiel de croissance du pays. Les opportunités de développement des régions se réduisent aussi du fait que les avantages comparatifs locaux ne sont pas suffisamment mis à profit. Dans de nombreuses régions, la faiblesse des gouvernements infraprovinciaux est un obstacle au développement des projets locaux, la diffusion des résultats de la recherche vers les PME est lente et le dialogue entre les firmes et les institutions d’enseignement insuffisant. Ce rapport met en lumière la nécessité pour les agences fédérales et les ministères sectoriels d’évaluer en permanence leurs politiques en fonction de leur impact sur ces grandes régions afin d’améliorer la cohérence territoriale et de mieux ajuster les programmes aux conditions locales. Une présence plus affirmée du gouvernement fédéral dans le traitement des problèmes des métropoles dans un cadre négocié avec les autres acteurs du développement urbain pourrait contribuer à moderniser les politiques conduites jusqu’à maintenant. Le rapport note aussi les progrès récents accomplis en matière de politique rurale, tout en remarquant qu’une stratégie est toujours à définir dans certains domaines comme les aménités. Enfin, s’agissant du Grand Nord, la priorité semble devoir être donnée à la résolution des problèmes de gouvernance. L’Examen territorial du Canada s’inscrit dans un programme plus vaste d’Examens territoriaux, aux niveaux national et régional, menés par le Comité des Politiques de Développement Territorial de l’OCDE. L’objectif général des Examens territoriaux est de fournir des recommandations pratiques aux gouvernements.

    Abstract: Sienne est une province essentiellement rurale située dans le centre de l’Italie. Elle a connu une croissance économique stable tout au long de la période de l’après-guerre. Cette réussite est due à une économie variée fondée sur l’industrie manufacturière, les services, une agriculture à forte valeur ajoutée et un secteur du tourisme dynamique. Néanmoins, c’est dans ces deux derniers domaines que Sienne détient un réel avantage concurrentiel, dans la mesure où ils dépendent tous deux de la concentration exceptionnelle en ressources environnementales et culturelles qu'offre la région. C’est la nécessité d’assurer à la fois la pleine mise en valeur et la préservation de cet atout qui a justifié le soutien aux différentes initiatives de développement durable. Un effort a notamment été fait pour que le développement de la région ne soit pas mis en péril par l’impact du tourisme de masse et le manque de coordination de l’offre. Le paysage agraire est également confronté à des incertitudes, dans la mesure où la majorité des terres cultivées dépend toujours des subventions de l’Union européenne, malgré la réussite commerciale de plusieurs producteurs agricoles. Afin de répondre aux défis du développement durable, Sienne doit faire cadrer ses objectifs de développement avec les moyens les plus appropriés de les atteindre, tout en assurant la coordination et la planification de l'ensemble à long terme. L’Examen territorial de Sienne s’inscrit dans un programme plus vaste d’Examens territoriaux, aux niveaux national et régional, menés par le Comité des Politiques de Développement Territorial de l’OCDE. L’objectif général des Examens territoriaux est de fournir des recommandations pratiques aux gouvernements. Les Examens territoriaux portent sur trois types de régions (urbain, intermédiaire, rural). Ils permettent de mieux comprendre les défis auxquels ces régions sont confrontées et identifient des solutions concrètes pour y faire face.

    Abstract: Among the OECD countries, Turkey figures as a comparative latecomer to regulatory reform. Yet, there is a crucial need for it. Over the last three decades, the Turkish economy has suffered from macro-economic instability and chronic inflation, with implications for both investment and growth. Governance and regulatory structures remained weak and contributed also to the 2001 economic crisis. Nonetheless, this review notes the highly encouraging efforts currently being undertaken to reform key economic sectors, the public administration and the regulatory framework. These developments appear to mark a fundamental break with the past. Important elements, such as a clear competition policy, are already in place. Fighting corruption, among other measures, is high on the policy agenda, and constitutional amendments are reshaping the relationship between citizens and the state. The "depoliticisation" of the public sector and its renewal on a merit basis is underway. Future success will depend crucially on the continuing implementation of the programme. In particular, sustained political commitment is required well beyond the recovery from the recent crisis.

    Abstract: Le péage n’est pas à proprement parler une invention contemporaine. La technique du péage est très ancienne et ses fondements théoriques remontent loin dans le passé. On peut cependant remarquer que les finalités du péage ont été diverses et variées au cours du temps. Droit de passage à l’origine, le péage a été utilisé ultérieurement pour le financement et les dépenses d’entretien des infrastructures, avant de devenir un élément d’internalisation des coûts externes et de gestion de la demande. A l’heure actuelle, deux motifs principaux sont avancés pour justifier l’instauration de péages : les traditionnels besoins de financement et la recherche d’une certaine efficacité dans l’usage des infrastructures. Cependant, comme le montre cette Table Ronde, les péages ne sont pas une panacée et leur introduction peut être politiquement délicate. Cette Table Ronde offre un large panorama, tant de la perspective théorique du péage que des problèmes concrets posés par son application. Elle permet de faire le point, d’une manière scientifique, sur une question d’actualité brûlante à un moment où plusieurs pays envisagent d’instaurer des péages électroniques généralisés.

Cette région est confrontée à des défis majeurs en termes de développement, de croissance, de cohésion sociale et de gouvernance. Son économie est fortement dépendante d’activités agricoles traditionnelles dont la survie n’est assurée que par le soutien financier considérable de la Politique Agricole Commune (PAC). Or, ce soutien est malheureusement appelé à disparaître. Les incitations mises en place pour moderniser les activités agricoles et promouvoir d’autres types d’activités économiques se sont avérées inefficaces. La politique de développement local doit à présent prendre un nouvel élan. Il s’agit de modifier les anciennes habitudes de la population locale et de l’inciter à développer ses compétences à travers de nouveaux projets économiques. Les politiques susceptibles d’être les plus efficaces et de générer un nouvel état d’esprit sont celles qui s’appuient sur l’identification et l’essaimage d’un petit nombre d’initiatives heureuses dont les résultats ont été visibles. La transformation des produits agricoles de base en produits à valeur ajoutée est une des stratégies à prendre en compte pour suivre la tendance actuelle de la demande. Il faudrait également exploiter les importantes ressources touristiques de la région afin d’attirer des touristes en quête d’authenticité. L’Examen territorial de Tzoumerka s’inscrit dans un programme plus vaste d’Examens territoriaux, aux niveaux national et régional, menés par le Comité des Politiques de Développement Territorial de l’OCDE. L’objectif général des Examens territoriaux est de fournir des recommandations pratiques aux gouvernements. Les Examens territoriaux portent sur trois types de régions (urbain, intermédiaire, rural). Ils permettent de mieux comprendre les défis auxquels ces régions sont confrontées et identifient des solutions concrètes pour y faire face.

    Abstract: Indian coal reserves are the third largest in the world, after the United States and China. India is the third largest coal producer in the world and the eighth largest importer. With annual production of 310 million tonnes and imports of almost 25 million tonnes, coal provides one-third of energy supply in India. The Indian government forecasts huge increases in electricity capacity based on coal. Massive increases in coal supply would be required if these plans are realised, although it is not clear if they are feasible. The principal objective of Indian coal policy should be to improve the financial performance of the industry by creating a freely competitive coal industry. A financially viable electricity industry will be necessary to support reforms in the coal industry. This report describes the Indian coal sector, and comments on government policies and the performance of India’s largely state-owned coal companies. There is a substantial need for reforms in India’s coal sector to improve efficiency and competitiveness.

    Abstract: There is widespread agreement that in order to bring about sustainable travel in urban areas, flexible, integrated policy packages are needed that send the right signals to urban land use and transport markets. The project on Implementing Sustainable Urban Travel Policies conducted by the ECMT has shown that actually implementing integrated policy packages for sustainable urban travel is easier said than done for a great number of cities in ECMT and OECD countries. While in most countries, urban land use and travel policies are defined and implemented at the local or regional levels, there is growing recognition that national governments can improve chances for implementation of integrated policy packages by providing for a flexible, sectorally integrated policy framework that sends the right messages to regions and cities via policy incentives and project financing. This report examines the ways in which national governments can act as catalysts for sustainable travel practices on a local level.

    Keywords: Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; France
    Abstract: La Champagne-Ardenne, située dans le nord-est, est la 5ème région française en matière de PIB/tête. Elle dispose d’avantages comparatifs dans certains secteurs industriels comme la mécanique, le travail des métaux et l’emballage et aussi dans l’agriculture et bien évidemment dans les activités liées au Champagne. La région a néanmoins perdu du terrain lors de la récession du début des années 1990. Si la reprise fait maintenant sentir ses effets, des incertitudes demeurent quant à l’avenir de la région. Ce rapport analyse les résultats de la stratégie mise en place par le Conseil Régional pour renforcer le processus de rattrapage et favoriser la diversification de l’économie régionale. Il met l’accent sur les deux moteurs principaux de la croissance : l’entrepreneuriat et les investissements directs étrangers. Il souligne la nécessité d’accélérer la transition vers une économie davantage fondée sur les activités dépendantes du savoir. Ceci implique de stimuler plus activement la recherche et d’encourager les PME à s’intégrer dans des réseaux et à innover. La région doit aussi trouver un meilleur équilibre entre politique agricole et politique rurale. Enfin, il est important que le Conseil régional s’investisse plus dans la lutte contre le déclin des villes. En effet, la Champagne-Ardenne est une des régions dont la part de la population vivant dans les zones urbaines sensibles est une des plus importantes en France. Cet ouvrage suggère que la coopération entre les villes et la constitution de réseaux urbains ont un grand rôle à jouer dans le développement de la région. L’Examen territorial de Champagne-Ardenne s’inscrit dans un programme plus vaste d’Examens territoriaux, aux niveaux national et régional, menés par le Comité des Politiques de Développement Territorial de l’OCDE. L’objectif général des Examens territoriaux est de fournir des recommandations pratiques aux gouvernements. Les Examens territoriaux portent sur trois types de régions (urbain, intermédiaire, rural). Ils permettent de mieux comprendre les défis auxquels ces régions sont confrontées et identifient des solutions concrètes pour y faire face.

    Abstract: Environ 125 000 personnes meurent chaque année sur les routes des pays de l’OCDE. En d’autres termes, toutes les quatre minutes une personne est tuée dans un accident de la circulation. La véritable tragédie est que ces accidents ainsi que les décès et blessures qui en résultent pourraient, dans une large mesure, être évités. Les arguments en faveur de l’investissement pour la sécurité routière ne sont pas uniquement de nature émotionnelle. Les accidents de la route ont un coût économique important qui peut représenter, dans certains pays, jusqu’à 4% du PIB. Dans les pays de l’OCDE, le nombre de tués sur les routes pourrait être diminué de moitié si tous les gouvernements s'engageaient pleinement à améliorer la sécurité routière en mettant en œuvre les meilleures pratiques et en les faisant respecter.Le rapport identifie et évalue les meilleures pratiques parmi les programmes de sécurité routière des pays de l’OCDE. L’accent est mis sur les programmes pour lesquels une évaluation a été conduite. En outre, afin de faciliter le développement de politiques de sécurité routière efficaces dans les pays Membres, le rapport identifie les critères sous-jacents qui influencent la réussite ou l’échec de ces « meilleures pratiques ».

Globalement, les progrès réalisés à ce jour sur la voie de la viabilité écologique dans le secteur des transports sont insuffisants. Il faut adopter une nouvelle approche ciblée qui fasse de l’environnement et de la santé des priorités d’action en ce qui concerne les transports et les secteurs connexes, aux plans international, national et local. Au terme de cinq ans de réflexion, le Groupe de travail de l’OCDE sur les transports a récemment présenté des lignes directrices pour des transports écologiquement viables (TEV), ainsi que les rapports d’analyse connexes, qui ont été approuvés par les ministres de l’Environnement des pays de l’OCDE réunis à Paris le 16 mai 2001.

    Abstract: Les décisions d’investissement relatives aux projets d’infrastructure de transport nécessitent une délibération approfondie. Les gouvernements ont besoin de méthodes d’évaluation pour s'assurer que leurs rares ressources sont affectées de manière à maximiser leur "rendement net" pour la société. Comment améliorer l’allocation des fonds consacrés aux infrastructures de transport ? Les analyses coûts-avantages, très largement utilisées, sont-elles appropriées ? Les investissements en matière d’infrastructure de transport n’auraient-ils pas des effets plus larges sur le développement régional qui nécessiteraient d’être pris en compte lors du choix des priorités en matière d’infrastructure ? De tels effets ont-ils pu être identifiés dans les évaluations des principaux projets d’infrastructure de transport ? Quels effets pourrait-on inclure dans les futures méthodes d’évaluation ? Et quels sont les effets qui peuvent être considérés comme substantiels ? Enfin, comment les cadres d’évaluation répondent-ils aux objectifs des politiques gouvernementales ? Ce rapport fournit des réponses à ces questions importantes en analysant, à travers des cas pratiques, les effets des investissements en matière d’infrastructure de transport.

    Abstract: Strictly speaking, tolls are not a modern invention. Tolling is, in fact, an ancient tradition, with its origins rooted in history. Tolling has served numerous and wide-ranging purposes across the ages. While initially providing right of way, tolls were later used to finance the building and maintenance of infrastructure, before becoming a means of internalising external costs and managing demand. Nowadays, two main arguments are put forward for the introduction of tolls: to meet funding requirements and to respond to society’s desire for efficient use of infrastructure. However, as this Round Table shows, tolls are not a universal panacea and the introduction of road tolls is a politically delicate issue. The Round Table provides a broad view of both the theoretical aspects of tolling and the practical problems posed by its introduction. It takes a scientific look at what is a burning issue, at a time when a number of countries are envisaging the widespread adoption of electronic tolls.

    Abstract: La mondialisation et les progrès des technologies de l’information et des communications ont refaçonné les caractéristiques du commerce mondial. Aujourd’hui, les entreprises compétitives au niveau international gèrent leurs activités par le biais de réseaux globaux intégrés conçus pour répondre avec efficacité et sérieux aux demandes du marché d’où qu’elles viennent. Cette tendance a donné le jour aux termes « logistique globale » ou « gestion de la chaîne d’approvisionnement ». En outre, les préoccupations environnementales croissantes exigent une logistique qui soit non seulement efficace mais également favorable au développement durable. Comment les gouvernements perçoivent-ils l’état actuel des systèmes logistiques ? Existe-t-il une vision partagée des réseaux logistiques mondiaux à développer sur laquelle les gouvernements pourraient fonder leurs réflexions ? Quelles sont les contraintes pour parvenir à des réseaux logistiques efficaces et respectueux de l’environnement ? Le projet TRILOG de l’OCDE vise à fournir une perspective sur ces questions clés grâce à l’échange d’approches et d’expériences relatives à la logistique du transport de marchandises en Asie-Pacifique, en Europe et en Amérique du Nord. Ce rapport cherche à identifier les contraintes et à analyser les problèmes communs aux trois régions. Il propose des solutions et des approches susceptibles de faciliter le développement de politiques visant à promouvoir une logistique efficace et durable au niveau international.

    Keywords: Urban, Rural and Regional Development ; Greece
    Abstract: OECD's territorial review of the Tzoumerka region of Greece. The Tzoumerka is a mountainous area in Northwestern Greece that presents considerable development challenges with respect to economic growth, social cohesion and governance. The area is highly dependent on traditional agricultural activities that are only made viable by considerable Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) support. Unfortunately, this support will almost inevitably decline. As incentives to modernise agricultural activities and promote other business activity have been ineffective, local development policy will need to go farther. It must direct the local population away from old survival habits to investing in capabilities required of new economic projects. The policy instruments that are likely to be most effective in creating a new mindset will consist in identifying and incubating a small number of successful initiatives with strong demonstration effects. Strategies identified include processing raw agricultural products into premium foodstuffs, to appeal to contemporary demand trends, and harnessing the valuable tourism resources of the area in order to attract visitors who increasingly seek out authenticity in their tourism experiences.

    Abstract: Die Schweiz weist, verglichen mit andern OECD-Staaten, geringe interregionale Disparitäten auf. Doch viele Strategien, die der nationalen Kohäsion förderlich sind, wie die Landwirtschaftspolitik, der service public, das öffentliche Beschaffungswesen oder der Finanzausgleich, sind im letzten Jahrzehnt unter Reformdruck geraten. Zudem stehen neue Themen auf der politischen Agenda, wie etwa die wachsenden Ungleichgewichte innerhalb der Metropolitanräume oder die Modernisierung traditioneller Industrien. Das vorliegende Examen zeigt deshalb, dass es notwendig ist, die Regionalpolitik neu zu orientieren. Es betont die Notwendigkeit, Regionalpolitik auf das ganze Land auszudehnen und stärker mit der Raumplanung zu verknüpfen, um sicherzustellen, dass alle Landesteile von den Vorteilen von Liberalisierung und Globalisierung profitieren können.

    Abstract: Dans les pays de l’OCDE, les régions métropolitaines enregistrent souvent des taux de croissance supérieurs à la moyenne ; elles rivalisent pour bénéficier de l’investissement direct étranger, dominent l’économie fondée sur le savoir et attirent l’immense majorité des immigrants. Cependant, elles doivent aussi faire face aux nombreux problèmes que posent les encombrements, le renouvellement des infrastructures ou encore l’expansion des quartiers en difficulté. L’amélioration des stratégies de développement des zones métropolitaines joue un rôle crucial pour le maintien de leur taux de croissance, mais les structures de gouvernance en place sont souvent anciennes et mal adaptées aux tâches à accomplir, d’autant que les agglomérations s’étendent souvent sur de nombreuses collectivités distinctes. Cet ouvrage se fonde sur les enseignements tirés des échecs et des succès de la réforme de la gouvernance métropolitaine. Il répertorie les moyens dont disposent les gouvernements centraux et métropolitains pour optimiser le potentiel de chaque région urbaine.

    Abstract: Dans toutes les études et évaluations du développement territorial menées aux niveaux infra-nationaux, le choix de l’unité territoriale est de première importance. La disponibilité de l’information conduit les organismes internationaux, les chercheurs ainsi que les responsables politiques à prendre le plus souvent en compte, dans leurs travaux, les découpages administratifs des pays. Pourtant, malgré leur existence officielle et leur stabilité, ces découpages présentent certaines limites et imperfections pour la comparabilité internationale. A la demande du Comité des Politiques de Développement Territorial de l’OCDE, le Service du Développement Territorial a entrepris un travail expérimental sur les régions fonctionnelles. Ces régions correspondent à des bassins d’emploi et semblent ouvrir des perspectives nouvelles pour les analyses territoriales internationales. Délimitées selon un principe similaire, celui des conditions de navettage, ces régions présentent une relative adéquation entre la demande et l’offre de main d'oeuvre et peuvent, de ce fait, être assimilées à des espaces de la vie quotidienne. Cette publication fait le point des définitions et des usages des régions fonctionnelles dans les pays de l’OCDE. Elle explicite les raisons qui poussent les pays à mettre en place ce genre d’entités, elle recense les responsabilités et les prérogatives de ces échelons, elle comptabilise enfin leurs ressources financières. Cette publication est une évaluation de la pertinence d’utiliser ces régions comme unités territoriales d’analyse dans les pays de l’OCDE et comme cadre d’intervention de certaines politiques territoriales.

    Abstract: Qu’est-ce qu’un transport intermodal de marchandises efficace ? Comment mettre en évidence les « meilleures pratiques » ? Quelles mesures les pays de l’OCDE prennent-ils pour évaluer l’efficacité relative des modes de transport et des combinaisons modales ? Comment peut-on améliorer les chaînes complexes du transport intermodal ? Enfin, comment identifier ces possibilités d’amélioration et les évaluer ? Le marché mondial d’aujourd’hui étant très concurrentiel, il exige des systèmes de transport intermodal qui répondent aux attentes de l’industrie en matière d’efficacité et de fiabilité, ainsi qu’aux impératifs de développement durable des pouvoirs publics. Si l’évaluation comparative est assurément un instrument qui contribue à la réalisation de ces objectifs, comment peut-on la mettre en oeuvre de façon concrète ? Ce rapport analyse des exemples d’évaluation comparative pour éclairer ces importantes questions.

    Abstract: The review points to the need to redesign regional policy. The ongoing reform of fiscal federalism, supposed to foster subnational autonomy and to reduce disparities more effectively, is an important step towards balanced regional development. The review emphasises the need to extend regional policy to the entire country, and to link it more strongly to spatial planning, in order to ensure that all regions benefit from the advantages of liberalisation and globalisation.

    Abstract: Encouraging wage earners to use public transport has a vital role to play in meeting environmental objectives, particularly the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Changing people's behaviour calls for action in the workplace and one option open to employers is to recruit mobility managers whose task is to help reduce employees' dependence on private car use. Governments can support such initiatives by running information campaigns, by publishing practical guides to incentive schemes and by harmonising regulatory and fiscal frameworks. Round Table 121 was devoted to this innovative topic and opened with a discussion of the provision of free parking facilities to company employees in the United States, a practice that has many knock-on effects and ramifications. One solution is for companies to replace free parking with cash-out schemes under which financial benefits are given to employees who choose not to make use of their free parking space. The Round Table then proceeded to consider several examples of employee mobility schemes in Europe, and ended by drawing conclusions of interest to local, regional and national authorities.
