(ANSAmed) - PARIS, MAY 23 - Tunisia and Morocco today signed
several multilateral agreements, drafted under the aegis of the
OECD, regarding the integrity of the private sector,
international investments, green growth and other fields. The
news was announced in a statement by the OECD.
In detail, Tunisia signed the statement on international
investment and multinational companies; the statement on
ownership, integrity and transparency in international business
and finance and the OECD statement on green growth. The country
has also formally expressed interest to join the OECD centre for
development, which has been working for 50 years now to
stimulate harmonic and sustainable development, stimulating
cooperation between Western countries and emerging areas and
promoting innovative solutions to poverty and underdevelopment.
Morocco has signed the second and third statement mentioned
above, because it had already accepted the statement on
international investments, together with Egypt.
The OECD, the statement points out, ''has been working
together for almost a decade with the countries in the Middle
East and North Africa on investments, governance, education and
other issues regarding economic policies and reforms.'' This
programme ''is complementary to the global effort, which
includes the Deauville Partnership, to gather support for the
transformation in progress in the area.'' (ANSAmed).
