    Abstract: This publication presents annual energy consumption data in manufacturing sectors. Over the last 25 years, energy consumption has become just as important as energy supply for policy makers. There is a need for energy efficiency indicators and data to monitor developments in energy consumption and energy efficiency trends as they affect the environment. In order to analyse energy use and energy efficiency, it is essential to have disaggregated industry level consumption data. This publication provides such data. Time series of annual energy consumption are provided at the disaggregated manufacturing industry level for most of the OECD countries from 1990 to 1999 where available.

    Abstract: Pour relever les nombreux défis environnementaux auxquels nous sommes confrontés aujourd'hui, comme par exemple le changement climatique, les pays s'efforcent de développer des instruments de gestion de l’environnement efficaces et efficients au niveau national. Les permis négociables/transférables en sont un exemple. Quels sont les principaux paramètres pour concevoir de tels instruments ? Quelles considérations supplémentaires les responsables de ces politiques devraient-ils prendre en compte avant de choisir les permis négociables plutôt que d'autres instruments politiques ? Pourquoi de nombreuses propositions ayant trait aux systèmes de permis négociables nationaux n'ont-elles pas abouti, et comment surmonter les obstacles rencontrés ? Cette publication tente de répondre à ces questions en présentant une analyse systématique des différents défis, approches, conditions et solutions possibles pour concevoir et mettre en œuvre des systèmes nationaux de permis transférables.

    Abstract: La paperasserie vue par les entreprises permet, pour la première fois, de comparer systématiquement des données émanant de 11 pays de l’OCDE. Ces données montrent comment les petites et moyennes entreprises perçoivent le coût de l’administration et de la réglementation nationales. La réglementation et les formalités administratives, ce qu'on appelle la "paperasserie", sont d’importants outils dont se servent les autorités publiques pour conduire leur action dans de nombreux domaines, notamment la sécurité, la santé et la protection de l’environnement. Toutefois, si elles sont mal conçues ou mal appliquées, inefficaces ou dépassées, elles peuvent entraver l’innovation, l’accès au marché, l’investissement, et créer des obstacles inutiles aux échanges et à l’efficacité économique. Une réglementation et des formalités administratives de piètre qualité ont un coût pour les économies nationales : la capacité de croissance de ces dernières, leur compétitivité, leur capacité d’adaptation et leur aptitude à créer des emplois peuvent en pâtir. Ce rapport s'appuie sur les résultats d’une enquête menée auprès de 8 000 entreprises, il fait le point sur la qualité, la mise en œuvre et le poids de la réglementation et des formalités administratives dans les domaines de l’emploi, de l’environnement et de la fiscalité. Les résultats sont inquiétants. Un exemple : la « paperasserie » absorbe 4 % du chiffre d’affaires annuel des entreprises (ce sont les plus petites qui sont le plus durement frappées) et ce coût augmente dans la plupart des pays.

    Abstract: The Guidelines are recommendations to multinational enterprises on their business conduct in such areas as labour, environment, consumer protection and the fight against corruption. The recommendations are made by the 33 adhering governments and, although they are not binding, governments are committed to promoting their observance. This book provides an account of what governments have been doing to enhance the contribution of the Guidelines to the improved functioning of the global economy. It also provides a comparative analysis and comments by the business, labour and NGO communities on the complementarities and differences between the Guidelines and other global instruments for corporate responsibility (e.g. UN Global Compact, Global Reporting Initiative).

    Keywords: Environment ; Industry and Services ; Industrie ; Biotechnologie ; Nachhaltigkeit
    Abstract: Dans un nombre croissant de secteurs industriels, les entreprises sont sensibilisées à l'importance du développement durable et au potentiel des biotechnologies. Les biotechnologies peuvent en effet rendre les activités industrielles plus respectueuses de l'environnement et réduire tant les dépenses d'investissement que les coûts d'exploitation. Elles peuvent également contribuer à diminuer, d'une part, les quantités de matières premières et d'énergie consommées et, d'autre part, les volumes de déchets générés. Cet ouvrage est le premier à rassembler toute une série d'études de cas présentant des applications biotechnologiques intégrées à des procédés industriels. Il les analyse en profondeur afin d'en extraire des enseignements pour les chefs d'entreprise et les décideurs politiques. Les premiers y trouveront motif à encouragement et les seconds des éléments sur lesquels bâtir de futurs programmes.

    Series Statement: Energy Market Reform
    Keywords: Energy ; Industry and Services
    Abstract: Most OECD countries, and many countries outside the OECD, are now deeply engaged in a reform of their electricity markets to stimulate competition and improve efficiency. This book considers the key elements of effective reform based on a review of experiences to date. A converging trend emerges, that emphasises competition in the generation, supply and trade of electricity, aimed at maximising consumer choice. It also highlights the development of new approaches to regulation of the transmission system, which remains monopolistic. This book is an invaluable guide and reference for energy policy makers. It examines the many issues and functions that define a modern, liberalised electricity supply industry, and the challenges posed by regulatory reform. It updates the 1999 IEA publication “Electricity Market Reform - an IEA Handbook”, and is the latest in a series of IEA publications on energy market reforms.

    Abstract: What are the problems faced by SMEs in OECD countries and developing and transition economies in today’s globalising world? What are the framework conditions that influence SMEs’ incentives and capacities to innovate? What is the optimal role of public policy in consolidating and developing clusters? Are SMEs failing to capture the full benefits of e-commerce and if so, why? Which are the best-practice instruments for fostering co-operation and partnership between SMEs in OECD and non-OECD countries? The OECD Bologna Conference gathered Ministers, high-level policy makers and business representatives from more than 50 countries and 60 international organisations with a view to releasing the potential of SMEs and enhancing their access to global markets. The Bologna Ministerial Conference has contributed to putting SMEs at the forefront of the international policy agenda.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. New Patterns of Industrial Globalisation: Cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions and Strategic Alliances
    Keywords: Industry and Services ; Industrie ; Globalisierung ; Internationales Management
    Abstract: Les nouvelles tendances de la mondialisation accélèrent l’internationalisation de l’industrie et remodèlent la structure industrielle à l’échelon mondial. La rapide multiplication des fusions et acquisitions et des alliances stratégiques est une caractéristique notable de la mondialisation actuelle. Au même titre que les formes traditionnelles d’échanges et d’investissement, ces pratiques sont devenues pour les entreprises des modes usuels d’internationalisation des opérations, de la recherche et des marchés. La majeure partie de l’investissement direct étranger (IDE) prend maintenant la forme de fusions et acquisitions plutôt que d’investissements ex nihilo, les entreprises abandonnant les anciennes stratégies de diversification et d’expansion pour centrer leur effort sur leurs compétences de base. Les alliances stratégiques sont aussi un puissant mécanisme de restructuration industrielle à l’échelle mondiale. Cet ouvrage présente les dernières tendances et les forces motrices de la mondialisation dans les grands pays de l’OCDE ainsi que leurs conséquences pour la performance industrielle et l’action des pouvoirs publics. Il analyse les évolutions régionales et sectorielles, notamment dans les secteurs des télécommunications, de l’automobile, de l’acier, des produits pharmaceutiques, des compagnies aériennes et dans les services financiers. La multiplication des alliances pour le commerce électronique interentreprises (B2B) et grand public (B2C) et la mondialisation des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) y sont évaluées. Une annexe statistique présente des chiffres allant jusqu’à la fin de l'année 2000.

    Keywords: Energy ; Governance ; Science and Technology ; Transport ; Industry and Services ; Öffentliche Wirtschaft ; Restrukturierung
    Abstract: Les activités de service public, autrefois considérées comme des monopoles monolithiques, sont en réalité constituées de nombre d'activités distinctes, dont certaines peuvent affronter une réelle concurrence. L'expérience montre qu'introduire la concurrence dans ces secteurs conduit à une efficience accrue, une plus grande innovation ainsi qu'à des bienfaits pour les consommateurs tels que des prix plus bas, un meilleur service et une plus grande diversité.Cependant, les détenteurs de l'activité qui constitue un goulot d'étranglement sont souvent en position de restreindre ou de limiter l'expansion de la concurrence. A cet égard, une prise de conscience s’est opérée : on s’accorde désormais à penser que des changements structurels fondamentaux sont souvent nécessaires pour que les consommateurs et autres utilisateurs tirent pleinement profit de la concurrence.Cette publication explore la nature et l'impact des règles qui affectent la structure des activités de service public. Elle porte non seulement sur la théorie qui sous-tend les différentes formes de séparation mais également sur l'expérience pratique d’un grand nombre de pays et de secteurs. Cette publication comprend également la nouvelle recommandation de l'OCDE sur la séparation structurelle dans les secteurs réglementés. Cette recommandation incite les pays Membres à envisager la séparation du monopole des parties concurrentielles des secteurs réglementés, en particulier dans le cadre du processus de privatisation ou de libéralisation.Secteurs couverts : Transport ferroviaire Électricité Services postaux Télécommunications Industrie du gaz Services aériens Transport maritime

    Abstract: In the former Soviet Union, extensive networks were constructed to supply urban populations with clean, safe water. However, the networks were not well designed and this resulted in low quality water services and high operation and maintenance costs. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the condition of water infrastructure deteriorated more dramatically following sharp decreases in public budgets and the continued tradition of providing water services virtually free of charge. Without urgent action, the quality of services will continue to worsen and, in some of the New Independent States (NIS) of the former Soviet Union, may even collapse, with serious consequences for human health and economic activity. This volume analyses the causes underlying this dire situation and presents recommendations for addressing it which were adopted at a meeting of Economic/Finance and Environment Ministers held in Almaty, Kazakhstan, in October 2000. The meeting was organized within the framework of the EAP Task Force, with its Secretariat at OECD, and involved key stakeholders from the governmental and non-governmental sectors. The EAP Task Force will implement a focused programme of work guided by the main recommendations agreed by participants.

    Abstract: À medida que nos aproximamos do século XXI, poderosas forças de mudança convergem para aquilo que poderá ser durante as próximas décadas o palco de uma expansão económica prolongada e sustentada – a transição para uma sociedade do conhecimento, com os seus elevados ganhos de produtividade; a emergência de mercados globais, mais integrados, de bens, serviços, capitais e tecnologia; e o rápido crescimento de uma consciência ambiental capaz de acelerar fortemente a mudança para novos padrões de produção e consumo, baseados numa utilização de recursos menos intensiva. Como resultado, poderemos assistir a décadas seguidas de crescimento económico acima da média, aumentos significativos do rendimento e da riqueza, e melhorias visíveis de bem-estar por todo o mundo.Mas o que será necessário para desencadear estas forças dinâmicas? Iniciativas para estabelecer as regras e as estruturas que conduzam à transição para uma economia do conhecimento, global e sustentada, não serão suficientes. Acima de tudo, serão exigidos esforços excepcionais por parte dos decisores ao nível dos governos, das empresas, e da sociedade no seu conjunto, para incentivar continuamente a inovação, a criatividade e níveis elevados de investimento, e para promover novas e intensas formas de cooperação internacional e o reforço das instituições. Inevitavelmente, alguns países beneficiarão mais do que outros, mas uma expansão prolongada, com toda a sua capacidade de criação de riqueza, constituirá uma oportunidade única para inverter a tendência das últimas décadas de intensificação da falta de qualidade e da exclusão social.Este livro analisa as forças promotoras das alterações económicas e sociais do mundo de hoje, estima a probabilidade de uma expansão prolongada nas primeiras décadas do século XXI e explora as políticas estratégicas necessárias.

    Abstract: The first OECD Conference on Women Entrepreneurs in SMEs in 1997 highlighted their contribution to innovation and job creation. Since that time, women’s entrepreneurship has been burgeoning. Women entrepreneurs constitute a growing share of SME owners, with higher than average start-up rates in several OECD Member and non-member countries. Eliminating obstacles to the creation and development of firms by women and creating a level playing field for women business owners is vital for a thriving entrepreneurial sector and important for national growth strategies. Women business owners are creating new niches for entrepreneurial activity and have the potential to become key players in the new, knowledge-based economy. However, they must adapt to profound changes in the way small enterprises do business, both locally and at the global level. The 2000 Conference aimed at finding ways to help women-owned SMEs seize the opportunities offered by globalisation, ICTs, changes in firm organisation, the increasing importance of the service sector, and other current developments. Cette publication est tirée de la conférence de l'OCDE sur « Les femmes entrepreneurs à la tête de PME : pour une participation dynamique à la mondialisation et à l'économie fondée sur le savoir ». Les lecteurs de langue française y trouveront une synthèse en français des présentations, discussions et conclusions de la conférence.

    Abstract: Businesses’ Views on Red Tape provides the first opportunity to systematically compare data across 11 OECD countries. The data show how small and medium-sized enterprises perceive national administrative and regulatory costs. Regulations and government formalities, so-called "red tape", are important tools used by governments to carry out public policies in many policy areas, including safety, health, and environmental protection. However, if they are poorly designed or applied, inefficient, or outdated, they can impede innovation, entry, investment, and create unnecessary barriers to trade, investment, and economic efficiency. The result of poor regulation and formalities is that national economies become less able to grow, compete, adjust, and create jobs. Based on a survey of almost 8 000 businesses, this report assesses the quality, application and burdens of employment, environment and tax regulations and formalities. The results are dramatic: for example, red tape accounts for 4% of the annual turnover of companies, while the hardest hit are the smallest companies, and these costs are growing in most countries.

    Abstract: The 2001 edition of Transfer Pricing Guidelines was substantially revised in July 2010. See the current edition . This compact version of Transfer Pricing Guidelines provides the complete and current text of the OECD pricing guidelines accepted by member countries and to be used by multinational enterprises when transferring goods and services across boundaries and within the same group of companies. They maintain the arm's length principle of treating related entreprises within a multinational group and affirm traditional transaction methods as the prefered way of implementing the principle. These controversial issues are not just of interest to tax experts. National tax administrations, taxpayers, and businessmen alike all have a share in avoiding conflicting tax rules which might seriously hamper the development of world trade. These guidelines have also been published in a loose leaf version.

    Keywords: Agriculture and Food ; Industry and Services
    Abstract: The term multifunctionality is increasingly used, but is prone to different interpretations concerning its definition, its utility and its implications for policy at domestic and international level. The OECD undertook this analysis to clarify the concept of multifunctionality and to try to establish a common analytical framework and terminology. Examining production, externality and public good aspects of multifunctionality, the analysis contained in this report leads to a series of questions, the answers to which determine if and when policy intervention is warranted and what the nature of that intervention should be. The framework encompasses both negative and positive externalities of agriculture. The first question relates to the degree of jointness in production between the multiple outputs. The second question identifies the circumstances in which market failure arises. A third question leads to an investigation of the public good characteristics of the outputs in question and helps to define the optimal type of intervention. These may range from market creation, to the imposition of user fees, the formation of clubs or public provision financed at local, regional or national level. The most efficient policy option is defined by the nature of jointness on the supply side and by the characteristics of the output on the demand side, all costs and benefits being taken into account.

    Abstract: Private initiatives for corporate responsibility have been a major development in international management over the last twenty years. The initiatives include issuance of codes of business conduct, implementation of management systems and broader efforts to improve business accountability. Yet, there is little agreement about what these initiatives mean or how effective they are. OECD research on private initiatives sheds light on various aspects of the corporate responsibility movement: what are firms and business associations doing? How have governments influenced the initiatives? What contributions, if any, have these initiatives made to improving the business sector’s ability to comply with law and regulation and to respond to broader societal expectations?

    Abstract: Municipal waste has increased 22 % per capita from 1980 to 1997. At the same time, the difficulty of siting new waste disposal facilities has increased. While major progress has been made to lessen the per capita generation of air and water pollution over the past decades, waste generation is still on the rise. Faced with the increase of waste, many governments have reviewed available policy options and concluded that placing the responsibility for the post-consumer phase of certain goods on producers could provide a means to relieve certain environmental pressures, arising from post-consumer waste. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach under which producers accept significant responsibility - financial and/or physical - for the treatment or disposal of post-consumer products. Assigning such responsibility could provide incentives to prevent wastes at the source, promote product design for the environment and support the achievement of public recycling and materials management goals. Within the OECD the trend is towards the extension of EPR to new products, product groups and waste streams such as electrical appliances and electronics. This guidance manual represents one means to inform national governments about the potential benefits and costs associated with EPR.

    Abstract: A general consensus has been reached among technical experts that high-level radioactive waste can safely be disposed of in deep geological repositories. Safety studies are carried out to evaluate the overall capacity of a particular disposal site to confine waste and minimise radioactive releases. Since the principal way in which radioactive elements might eventually reach the biosphere is by transport of dissolved radionuclides in groundwater, the safety study calculations must be able to estimate their rate of transfer through each of the barriers surrounding the repository. It is well known that, for many radioelements, sorption reactions can lead to a reduction of the amount of radionuclides present in the solution phase. How best to take radionuclide sorption reactions into account in repository performance assessment models is the subject of this book.

Rapidly growing cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and strategic alliances are distinctive features of globalisation in the current era. They have become common paths to internationalising business operations, research and markets, together with traditional forms of trade and investment. An overwhelming share of foreign direct investment (FDI) is now in the form of M&As rather than greenfield investment, as firms shelve earlier diversification and expansion strategies and focus on core competencies. Strategic alliances are also a powerful mechanism for industrial restructuring on a global basis. This book presents the latest trends and drivers of globalisation in major OECD countries and their implications for industrial performance and government policies. It analyses regional as well as sectoral trends, including in telecommunications, automobiles, steel, pharmaceuticals, airlines and financial services. Growing alliances for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) electronic commerce, and globalisation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are assessed. A Statistical Annex presents data through 2000.

    Abstract: The taxation of professional services and other activities of an independent character under Article 14 of the OECD Model Tax Convention is problematic. For example, what activities and entities fall within Article 14 as opposed to the business profits Article (Article 7)? Is the distinction between those activities and entities satisfactory and easy to apply? What are the practical differences between taxation under Article 7 and 14? This report analyses those questions in detail and concludes that there is no practical difference between the two Articles or if any differences did in fact exist, there is no valid policy justification for them. It recommends that Article 14 be eliminated from the Model and describes the changes that would need to be made to the Articles and Commentary of the Model as a consequence.

    Abstract: Die Welt steht heute an der Schwelle zu einer neuen Ära, in der die Chance einer lang anhaltenden Phase der Hochkonjunktur in den ersten Jahrzehnten des neuen Jahrtausends zum Greifen nahe sein wird. Das Zusammenwirken mehrerer Einflüsse – insbesondere der Übergang zu einer wissensbasierten Gesellschaft, die Globalisierung der Wirtschaft und das Streben nach ökologischer Nachhaltigkeit – könnte gewaltige Verbesserungen sowohl in bezug auf die Kapazitäten zur Schaffung von Wohlstand als auch für das weltweite Wohlergehen der Menschen mit sich bringen.Welche Weichenstellungen sind notwendig, damit diese Chance nicht ungenützt bleibt? Neue Institutionen werden gebraucht, um die internationalen Regeln und Rahmenbedingungen zu schaffen, die den Übergang zur wissensbasierten Gesellschaft erleichtern. Der Bericht gibt einen Überblick über die fundamentalen Antriebskräfte des gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Wandels von morgen. Er schätzt die Plausibilität des Eintretens in ein „Goldenes Zeitalter“ ein und analysiert die Politikerfordernisse, die zu seiner Verwirklichung notwendig sind.

    Abstract: Tourism plays an increasingly important role in many OECD economies. How can its impact on the economy and its potential for job creation be measured? The Tourism Satellite Account and the Employment Module - two new economic instruments designed by the OECD’s Tourism Committee - provide insights into the socio-economic impact, structure and development of activities related to tourism. For the first time, Measuring the Role of Tourism in OECD Economies: The OECD Manual on Tourism Satellite Accounts and Employment reports on the most recent national experiences in implementing Tourism Satellite Accounts and presents the results of efforts made over the past decade to develop new methods to analyse tourism and tourism-related employment. Through its descriptions of the application of Tourism Satellite Accounts in 16 OECD countries, this new book aims to create awareness of the growing economic importance of tourism, and provides a methodology for the implementation of tools to measure the impact of tourism and for the interpretation of the results.

    Abstract: Le tourisme joue un rôle de plus en plus important dans les économies de nombreux pays de l'OCDE. Comment mesurer l'impact économique du tourisme et son potentiel de création d'emplois ? Le compte satellite du tourisme et le module emploi - deux nouveaux instruments économiques élaborés par le Comité du tourisme de l'OCDE - permettent de déterminer l'impact socio-économique, la structure et l'évolution des activités liées au tourisme. Pour la première fois, Mesurer le rôle du tourisme dans les pays de l’OCDE: Manuel de l’OCDE sur les comptes satellites du tourisme et l’emploi décrit les expériences nationales les plus récentes dans la mise en oeuvre des comptes satellites du tourisme et présente les résultats des efforts déployés au cours de la dernière décennie pour développer de nouvelles méthodes d'analyse du tourisme et de l'emploi touristique. A travers l’analyse des expériences de 16 pays de l’OCDE, ce document attire l'attention du lecteur sur l'importance économique croissante du tourisme et fournit des éléments pratiques pour la mise en place d'outils de mesure de l'impact du tourisme et pour l'interprétation des résultats.

    Abstract: Ten years into the transition, newly emerging private enterprises in transition economies, usually described as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the international context, have come to play an increasingly important role as the driving engines of economic growth and employment creation. Accordingly, the policy considerations for developing SMEs are becoming very urgent and important for transition economies, especially through facilitating financial mechanisms for them, as limited availability of financial resources is the largest hindrance to their development. This publication gathers the proceedings of the Second Workshop on "Financing Newly Emerging Private Enterprises in Transition Economies" which was organised in Paris under the aegis of the OECD’s Centre for Co-operation with Non-Members with the sponsorship of the Japanese Government. This volume contains in-depth studies on various schemes for financing these enterprises, including credit guarantees, leasing, venture capital and capital market operations, as well as public schemes. In addition, it provides detailed and comparative information on the situation of SME development and the policy measures towards it.

    Abstract: L'imposition des professions libérales et des autres activités de caractère indépendant dans le cadre de l'article 14 du Modèle de Convention fiscale de l'OCDE pose certains problèmes. Par exemple, quelles sont les activités et entités qui relèvent de l'article 14 par opposition à l'article 7 sur les bénéfices des entreprises ? La distinction entre ces activités et entités est-elle satisfaisante et facile à appliquer ? Quelles sont les différences pratiques qui existent entre l'imposition sous l'article 7 et l'imposition sous l'article 14 ? Cet ouvrage examine ces questions de manière détaillée et conclut qu'il n'y a pas de différences pratiques entre les deux articles et que, dans le cas où des différences apparaîtraient, elles ne pourraient être justifiées sur le plan de la politique fiscale. En conséquence, il recommande que l'article 14 soit supprimé du Modèle et décrit les modifications à apporter aux articles et aux commentaires du Modèle.

    Abstract: Services are transforming OECD economies on a massive scale, but are still impeded by regulations and policies that stifle innovation and competition. Comprehensive reforms need to be pursued internationally as well as in individual OECD countries. These are the principal conclusions reached by participants in a Business and Industry Policy Forum organised by the OECD on 28 September 1999. The Forum was organised by the Industry Committee, partly to address the mandate of the OECD Ministerial to explain the differences which have emerged in growth performance among OECD countries. It brought together senior government officials, experts, and business and trade union leaders from 30 countries to address issues related to “Realising the Potential of the Service Economy: Facilitating Growth, Innovation and Competition”.

    Abstract: How can the environmental effects of trade liberalisation agreements be assessed ? Are available methodologies sufficiently tuned to current concerns? In order to take stock of the state of the art in assessment methodologies, the OECD organised a two-day technical workshop to focus on past practice and new tools for assessing the environmental effects of trade agreements. Some two dozen experts from governments, international organisations, universities international organisations, universities and NGOs active in this area presented lessons from past practice and results of the considerable advances made in recent years. This volume brings together the papers presented during the two-day workshop by the invited experts and the comments from a range of governmental and international organisation practitioners and representatives of civil society who participated in the workshop. In addition to the presentations on methodologies, this book includes the workshop rapporteur's summary of the gaps in the existing research in this field.
