| | EcoWin - Economic database: OECD Economic Outlook |
| | The Economic Outlook database is a comprehensive and consistent macroeconomic database of the OECD economies, covering expenditures, foreign trade, output, employment and unemployment, interest rates and exchange rates, the balance of payments, outlays and revenues of government and of households, and government debt. | | | The OECD assessments of the future trends of key macroeconomic variables are better characterised as conditional projections rather than forecasts, since they are conditional on a set of technical assumptions about macroeconomic policies, nominal exchange rates and the path of oil- and non-oil commodity prices. | | | The main lines of the Economic Outlook projections and analysis are presented to, and their policy implications discussed by, the OECD Economic Policy Committee, which is composed of senior officials from finance or economic ministries and central banks. |

| | OECD Observer: Migration and EU enlargement |
| | The unemployment rate among foreigners in some European OECD countries is twice that of their percentage in the total labour force. | | | One of the most hotly debated questions is whether a large increase in immigration flows would help OECD countries pay for their future social spending, especially on pensions. | | | Indeed, some OECD countries have begun focusing more energy and finance on training and supporting new arrivals, in part to help them to integrate more rapidly into the labour market or to retain those who might otherwise move on to competitor countries. |

| | France and Germany both registered sharp decreases in inward investment which the OECD said in a report were largely due to repayments of inter-company loans that shifted money abroad. | | | Regarding the surges in inward and outward U.S. investment, the OECD said developments last year partly reflected weakness in the dollar but also a spending spurred by U.S. companies. | | | U.S. outflows in foreign direct investment hit $252 billion versus $141 billion in 2003 while inward investment rose to $107 billion from a historically low $67 billion in 2003, the OECD said. |

| | The stated objective of the OECD’s efforts to eliminate harmful tax practices is to encourage an environment in which free and fair tax competition can contribute to economic growth and development worldwide, and not to dictate to any country how its tax system should be structured or what its tax rates should be. | | | In order to avoid being included on the OECD’s list of Uncooperative Tax Havens (published in April 2002) and being subjected to possible defensive measures of the OECD, the jurisdictions listed in the 2000 report were required to make public commitments to the OECD in relation to transparency and the effective exchange of information. | | | The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is an international organization, which has a mandate of helping governments tackle the economic, social and governance challenges of a globalised economy. |

| | OECD member countries in this situation need to avoid any over-heating of their economies, by maintaining interest rates at the required levels and by pursuing structural reform in all areas. | | | The enlarged Assembly is concerned by the social effects of globalisation and considers that it would be vital today to examine the mechanisms of economic liberalism carefully and perform a comprehensive assessment of the social effects of globalisation in its present form. | | | With regard to tax havens, the enlarged Parliamentary Assembly calls upon the OECD to intensify co-operation with third-party states in connection with the elimination of those practices that fail to meet basic international standards with regard to transparency, bank secrecy, and legal co-operation. |

| | Regional position on harmful tax competition - 3601 |
| | The OECD’s Harmful Tax Initiative is forcing jurisdictions to choose between either committing to the Initiative (so suffering possible and immediate to long-term loss of economic activity through the loss of offshore sector clients) or not providing a commitment (and suffering loss of economic activity through the imposition of defensive measures by OECD members). | | | The OECD Initiative was developed in response to OECD concerns regarding the supposed erosion of their tax bases through mobile financial activities offered by offshore financial centres. | | | Listed Pacific nations ask that if OECD members wish to counteract the erosion of their tax base (the declared objective of the Initiative) they first adopt appropriate measures, within their own jurisdictions, to deter citizens and residents from using "tax havens" for tax minimisation. |

| | Demys Domain name news service OECD speaks out on WHOIS |
| | The OECD finds that problems with WHOIS data quality in the gTLD regime partially reflect the fact that registrars have not always implemented the Accreditation Agreement measures in practice and that ICANN has not, until recently, enforced the agreements. | | | The OECD also puts forward a word of caution to those domain name registrars and registries who allow private individuals or non-commercial entities to 'opt-out' of the publically available register of domain name ownership. | | | The present report is somewhat different, coming from the OECD's Committee on Consumer Policy which focuses on the 'consumer policy challenges arising out of the development of the Internet and the emerging electronic marketplace.' In 1999 the Committee developed guidelines setting out the core characteristics for effective consumer protection for online business-to-consumer transactions. |
