The OECD - Promoting 'better policies for better lives'

Briefing 17-10-2014

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is an intergovernmental organisation dedicated to promoting public policies which improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Representing the European Union within the OECD, the European Commission is a 'quasi-member' of the organisation, enjoying nearly all the same rights and privileges as those EU Member States which have joined the OECD.
