Under Action 14, countries have committed to implement a minimum standard to strengthen the effectiveness and efficiency of the mutual agreement procedure (MAP). The MAP is included in Article 25 of the OECD Model Tax Convention and commits countries to endeavour to resolve disputes related to the interpretation and application of tax treaties. The Action 14 Minimum Standard has been translated into specific terms of reference and a methodology for the peer review and monitoring process. The minimum standard is complemented by a set of best practices.
The peer review process is conducted in two stages. Stage 1 assesses countries against the terms of reference of the minimum standard according to an agreed schedule of review. Stage 2 focuses on monitoring the follow-up of any recommendations resulting from jurisdictions' stage 1 peer review report. This report reflects the outcome of the stage 1 peer review of the implementation of the Action 14 Minimum Standard by Greece.

The OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC) conducts periodic reviews of the individual development co-operation efforts of DAC members. The policies and programmes of each DAC member are critically examined approximately once every five years. DAC peer reviews assess the performance of a given member, not just that of its development co-operation agency, and examine both policy and implementation. They take an integrated, system-wide perspective on the development co-operation and humanitarian assistance activities of the member under review.
This peer review of the Slovak Republic, the first since it joined the DAC in 2013, shows how the country successfully raised its voice and influence in global fora, and documents its efforts to align with the 2030 Agenda. The report recommends that the Slovak Republic continue to build its policy framework, sharpen its focus, and embed the management systems needed for an effective development co-operation programme.
This new OECD report on the ocean economy emphasises the growing importance of science and technologies in improving the sustainable economic development of our seas and ocean. Marine ecosystems sit at the heart of many of the world’s global challenges: food, medicines, new sources of clean energy, climate regulation, job creation and inclusive growth. But we need to safeguard and improve the health of marine ecosystems to support our ever-growing use of marine resources. Innovation in science and technology will play a key role in reconciling these two objectives. This report identifies three priority areas for action based on a number of in-depth case studies: 1) approaches that produce win-win outcomes for ocean business and the ocean environment across a range of marine and maritime applications; 2) the creation of ocean-economy innovation networks; and 3) new pioneering initiatives to improve measurement of the ocean economy.
This report assesses the implementation of corporate governance reforms in the hydrocarbons sector in Ukraine, using as a benchmark the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises. The Review identifies a set of detailed recommendations as priority areas for reform addressed to the state’s role as owner and shareholder in economically important SOEs operating in this sector. It also addresses recommendations to improve the corporate governance of Naftogaz - a vertically integrated state-owned oil and gas company group with extensive operations in the Ukrainian energy sector.
Thailand is a fast emerging country that aspires to become a high-income economy by 2037. Still, Thailand’s growth path has created large disparities that risk obstructing the next stage of development. This report lays out three transitions that Thailand needs to master to build capabilities and sustain faster but also more inclusive economic growth. First, the country should move from a growth path dominated by few and geographically concentrated sources of innovation to one that focuses on unlocking the full potential of all regions. Second, to support a new growth agenda, it should organise multi-level governance and the relationship between the many layers of government more effectively, particularly with regards to financial resources. Last but not least, Thailand should focus on water and environment, moving from a resource-intensive growth path with costly natural disasters to one characterised by sustainable development. In the case of water, this means moving from ad-hoc responses to effective management of water security.

Si se implementa efectivamente, el Sistema Anticorrupción de la Ciudad de México podría mejorar la gobernanza, disminuir la incidencia de la corrupción e incrementar la confianza ciudadana, así como también influir sobre la cultura de integridad en el país en general.
Portugal’s economic recovery is now well established, with GDP back to its pre-crisis level. However, legacies of the recent crisis remain. A high public debt burden and ongoing financial sector vulnerabilities make the economy less resilient. The country is also facing a rapidly ageing population. In this context, there should be a continued focus on getting unemployed or marginalised workers back into jobs and promoting productivity growth. The latter will further boost the external competitiveness of the economy. Existing strict regulations in some sectors including professional services and transport harm productivity prospects, as do those that hold back competition in the ports. However, the institutions implementing regulations also matter. Improving judicial efficiency is particularly important in this regard. Recent reforms have lowered the time to resolve a court case, but it remains long. The information system that registers court proceedings should thus be better utilised and the courts should be granted stronger autonomy in managing their resources.

Turkey is the fastest growing OECD economy with rapidly increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2008, its economic growth has been relatively decoupled from air emissions, energy use, waste generation and water consumption. However, the high resource intensity of Turkey’s economy and its heavy reliance on fossil fuels will continue to increase these environmental pressures in absolute terms. More progress is needed in the transition to a low-carbon, circular economy to improve the country’s environmental performance.
This is the third Environmental Performance Review of Turkey. It evaluates progress towards sustainable development and green growth, with special features on climate change and urban wastewater management.
In einer Welt, in der das, was einfach unterrichtet und abgefragt werden kann, auch das ist, was sich einfach digitalisieren und automatisieren lässt, kommt es auf unser Vorstellungsvermögen, unsere Sensibilität und unser Verantwortungsbewusstsein an. Mit diesen Eigenschaften können wir die Chancen des 21. Jahrhunderts nutzen, um die Welt zum Besseren zu verändern. Die Schulen von morgen werden den Schülerinnen und Schülern helfen müssen, selbstständig zu denken und anderen mit Empathie zu begegnen – im Arbeitsleben und als mündige Bürger. Dazu gehört es auch, ein ausgeprägtes Rechtsbewusstsein und Verständnis für die Bedürfnisse anderer Menschen zu entwickeln.
Wie können die Schulen das gewährleisten? Andreas Schleicher, Initiator der Internationalen Schulleistungsstudie PISA der OECD und weltweit anerkannte Autorität in Sachen Bildungspolitik, hat Bildungsverantwortliche aus über 70 Ländern bei der Gestaltung und Umsetzung zukunftsweisender bildungspolitischer Maßnahmen begleitet. Die Bildung zu verbessern, ist leichter gesagt als getan. Schleicher zeigt in diesem Buch zahlreiche Erfolgsbeispiele auf, aus denen wir lernen können. Dabei geht es nicht darum, vorgefertigte Lösungen aus anderen Schulen bzw. Ländern zu übernehmen. Ziel ist vielmehr die ernsthafte und unvoreingenommene Auseinandersetzung mit empfehlenswerten Praktiken aus dem In- und Ausland, um herauszufinden, was unter welchen Bedingungen funktioniert. Von Haus aus Physiker, wirft Schleicher einen ganz eigenen Blick auf die Reform der Bildung: Sie ist für ihn Kunst und Wissenschaft gleichermaßen, wie er überzeugend darlegt.
