The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has thirty members, mostly concentrated in Europe and North America but also including such countries as Mexico and South Korea. Its stated aim is to promote convergence in policy development between its members.

Minister Dempsey has clearly asked the OECD to produce this report because he expects the report to confirm his own pre-conceived views on the subject. Over the next few months, we will be told again and again that the OECD report is impartial and objective, so it is important to remember from the start: the OECD is not impartial, it has an ideological agenda just like all the other players in this debate, and its policy recommendations are determined by this ideological bias. read full story / add a comment
