Who visits the OECD?
The Public Affairs Division organises group visits to the OECD Headquarters in Paris for business leaders, trade union representatives, parliamentarians, academics, journalists, university students and other groups, upon request. The OECD welcomes around 3000 visitors each year. Student groups are accepted only from upper university levels, and students must have a good knowledge of one of the OECD areas of activity. We are unable to organise individual visits.
What is a typical visit?
Visits vary in time limit, number of participants and type of visit. However, they can usually accommodate a minimum of 10, and up to 100 participants, depending on room availability. A typical visit lasts from 2 to 3 hours and is conducted in one of the two official languages of the OECD, French or English. It begins with an introduction to the OECD. Then, one or several members of the Secretariat brief the visitors on the particular topics of interest to them. A member of the relevant Delegation to the OECD is usually involved in the visit. Each presentation lasts about 45 minutes (including a question and answer period). Participants receive documentation and other relevant background information on the OECD.
Every visit is unique and is organised to suit the needs and interests of the particular group. The Visits Programme tries to provide the most appropriate speakers, drawn from the many facets of OECD work -- economics, education, science, environment, governance, employment, technology, to mention only a few.
How to organise a visit?
Due to limited availability of meeting rooms, it is important to send in requests for visits at least two months before the desired date of the visit.
Requests should include the following information: preferred date and time of visit to the OECD; number of participants and their names; topics of interest; mention of previous visits; special requests.
Visits to the OECD are free of charge.

What we do and how
What we do and how
OECD uses its wealth of information on a broad range of topics to help governments foster prosperity and fight poverty through economic growth and financial stability. We help ensure the environmental implications of economic and social development are taken into account.
OECD's work is based on continued monitoring of events in member countries as well as outside OECD area, and includes regular projections of short and medium-term economic developments. The OECD Secretariat collects and analyses data, after which committees discuss policy regarding this information, the Council makes decisions, and then governments implement recommendations.
Peer reviews
Mutual examination by governments, multilateral surveillance and a peer review process through which the performance of individual countries is monitored by their peers, all carried out at committee-level, are at the heart of our effectiveness. An example of the peer review process at work is to be found in the Working Group on Bribery, which monitors the implementation by signatory countries of the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Officials in International Business Transactions.
Agreements, standards and recommendations
Discussions at OECD committee-level sometimes evolve into negotiations where OECD countries agree on rules of the game for international co-operation. They can culminate in formal agreements by countries, for example on combating bribery, on arrangements for export credits, or on the treatment of capital movements. They may produce standards and models, for example in the application of bilateral treaties on taxation, or recommendations, for example on cross-border co-operation in enforcing laws against spam. They may also result in guidelines, for example on corporate governance or environmental practices. More on OECD decisions, recommendations and other instruments in force.
Publications
OECD publications are a prime vehicle for disseminating the Organisation's intellectual output. OECD publishes regular outlooks, annual overviews and comparative statistics. Among them:
OECD Economic Outlook assesses prospects for member and major non-member economies.
OECD Factbook is a key reference tool for everyone working on economic and policy issues.
OECD Economic surveys provide individual national analyses and policy recommendations.
Going for Growth presents comparative indicators and evaluations of national performance.

Who does what
The Council
Decision-making power is vested in the OECD Council. It is made up of one representative per member country, plus a representative of the European Commission.
The Council meets regularly at the level of permanent representatives to OECD and decisions are taken by consensus. The Council meets at ministerial level once a year to discuss key issues and set priorities for OECD work. The work mandated by the Council is carried out by the OECD Secretariat.
Committees
Representatives of the 30 OECD member countries meet in specialised committees to advance ideas and review progress in specific policy areas, such as economics, trade, science, employment, education or financial markets.
There are about 250 committees, working groups and expert groups. Some 40 000 senior officials from national administrations go to OECD committee meetings each year to request, review and contribute to work undertaken by the OECD Secretariat. Once they return home, they have online access to documents and can exchange information through a special network.
OECD Secretariat
Angel Gurría heads the OECD Secretariat and is assisted by one or more Deputy Secretaries-General. Mr Gurría also chairs the Council, providing the link between national delegations and the Secretariat.
The Secretariat in Paris is made up of some 2 500 staff who support the activities of committees, and carry out the work in response to priorities decided by the OECD Council. The staff includes economists, lawyers, scientists and other professionals. Most staff members are based in Paris but some work at OECD centres in other countries.

History
History
Origins
The forerunner of OECD was the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC). OEEC was formed in 1947 to administer American and Canadian aid under the Marshall Plan for the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. Its headquarters were established at the Château de la Muette in Paris in 1949.
OECD took over from OEEC in 1961. Since then, its mission has been to help its member countries to achieve sustainable economic growth and employment and to raise the standard of living in member countries while maintaining financial stability – all this in order to contribute to the development of the world economy.
Its founding Convention also calls on it to assist sound economic expansion in other countries and to contribute to growth in world trade on a multilateral, non-discriminatory basis.
Evolution
In order to contribute to the development of the world economy, OECD’s focus has progressively broadened to include a growing number of other countries, in addition to its 30 members. It now shares its expertise and accumulated experience with more than 70 developing and emerging market economies.
What next
In a rapidly-changing globalised economy, OECD is changing too. The Organisation is reforming its management and addressing such issues as burden-sharing in the context of the OECD budget, rules on decision-making and how to respond to changes in the global economic environment by enlarging its membership.
It has also renovated its Paris headquarters and built a new conference centre. All these efforts are directed towards making OECD a more effective instrument of international co-operation.

WTO NEWS
WTO-OECD-UNCTAD: No “significant intensification of trade or investment restriction” but G20 must “remain vigilant”
The latest report by the WTO, OECD and UNCTAD on G20 trade and investment measures, submitted on 8 March 2010, said that high unemployment rates and uncertainties on global growth point to the need for G20 governments “to remain vigilant in opposing protectionism”. The three agencies urged the G20 leaders to undertake “a clear and stronger commitment to open markets and make concrete their many calls to bring the Doha Round to a rapid conclusion”. At a time when governments are constrained in offering further fiscal or monetary stimulus, open trade can give the global economy a much-needed lift and provide valuable opportunities for job creation.

APEC 이란
의 미
APEC은 아시아ㆍ태평양 경제협력체(Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation : APEC)라는 뜻으로 자발적 협력(voluntarism)의 정신을 바탕으로 회원국간의 경제적 사회적 문화적 이질성을 극복하고, 역내 지속적 경제성장에 기여함으로써 주민들의 복리후생 증진과 궁극적으로는 아시아ㆍ태평양 공동체 수립의 토대를 마련하는데 목적을 두고 있습니다.
APEC은 역내의 안정과 번영의 달성을 위해 역내ㆍ세계 경제의 도전에 공동으로 대응하고, 역내 재화ㆍ용역ㆍ자본의 이동을 촉진하기 위한 무역ㆍ투자 장애 제거하는 일 등을 추진하고 있습니다.
특 징
1. 아ㆍ태 경제공동체의 점진적 달성 추구
장기적으로는 역내 무역ㆍ투자 자유화의 실현을 목표로 하며, 중ㆍ단기적으로는 무역활성화 조치와 함께 경제ㆍ기술분야의 협력증진을 추구합니다. 이를 통해 점진적으로 동아시아와 미주를 잇는 경제공동체를 달성하는데 목적이 있습니다.
2. 개방적 지역주의(Open Regionalism) 표방
아ㆍ태지역 내 무역자유화를 추진하되, 역외국에 대한 배타적인 지역주의는 지양하고자 합니다. 이에 APEC 역내 자유화 조치의 혜택을 역외국에 대해서도 상호주의에 입각하여 부여하고 있습니다.
3. 진화적 과정(Evolving Process)
창설 당시 아ㆍ태 협력의 기본원칙에 대해서만 합의한 뒤, 향후 운용해 나가는 과정에서 필요에 따라 탄력적으로 제도를 마련하고 기구를 확대해가고 있습니다.
4. 전원합의체(consensus)에 입각한 의사결정 과정
APEC 회원국들은 GDP 규모 및 경제구조, 역사ㆍ문화 등에 있어 여타 지역보다 많은 다양성을 보유하고 있기 때문에 APEC은 역내 각국들이 가지고 있는 다양성을 인정하는 토대 위에서 협력을 추구합니다. 이를 위해 전원합의체(consensus)에 의거한 의사결정 원칙을 이행하고 있습니다.
출범배경
1. 냉전체제가 종식되면서 세계질서는 경제적 이해관계를 중심으로 재편되는 과정에서 범세계주의(globalism)와 지역주의(regionalism)의 현상이 가장 두드러지게 발생하였습니다.
2. 특히 유럽연합(EU), 북미자유무역협정(NAFTA) 등 유럽과 북미의 지역주의의 심화현상이 가속화되면서 이러한 지역주의 협력체에 대응하고자 동아시아 지역을 포함하는 지역주의의 움직임이 시작되었습니다.
3. 태평양지역 경제협력을 위한 민간기구들의 노력이 계속되는 한편, 이러한 민간기구들의 한계를 극복하고 보다 실질적인 역내 경제협력을 도모하기 위해 정부간 경제협력기구를 구성하게 되었습니다.
4. APEC은 1989년 11월 호주 캔버라에서 아ㆍ태지역의 지속적인 경제성장과 공동의 번영을 위한 협의체로 출범하였고, 1993년 11월 시애틀에서 제1차 정상회의를 개최하게 되었습니다.
