This report reviews the quality of health care in Portugal, seeks to highlight best practices, and provides a series of targeted assessments and recommendations for further improvements to quality of care. The Portuguese National Health Service has responded well to financial pressure, successfully balancing the twin priorities of financial consolidation and continuous quality improvement. Even in the post-crisis years when GDP fell and health spending declined, improvements in quality of care continued. The need to reduce health spending has been met through a combination of structural reforms, and a well-designed suite of quality initiatives. Reforms around the purchasing and use of pharmaceuticals and medical devices have helped drive down costs, and Portugal has been innovative in how public funds are used to pay providers, increasingly basing payments on quality and efficiency. Important priorities for further work in the Portuguese health system do remain. Portugal will need to improve clinical processes and pathways, particularly in the acute sector. There is still room to improve efficiency, for instance increasing the share of generic drug consumption, and using the Portuguese health workforce more effectively, especially through expanded roles for nurses. Further structural reform is needed with an emphasis on shifting care out of hospitals into less-expensive community settings, and Portugal will also need to reflect on the strategic direction of the primary care system which, following an impressive reform, now risks developing into a two-tiered system with increasingly divergent levels of care quality.

This report contains the "Phase 2: Implementation of the Standards in Practice" review, as well as revised version of the "Phase 1: Legal and Regulatory Framework review" already released for Jamaica.

The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by 120 jurisdictions, which participate in the Global Forum on an equal footing. The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes. These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004. The standards have also been incorporated into the UN Model Tax Convention.

The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. Fishing expeditions are not authorised but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard.

All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction's legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined - Phase 1 and Phase 2 - reviews. The Global Forum has also put in place a process for supplementary reports to follow-up on recommendations, as well as for the ongoing monitoring of jurisdictions following the conclusion of a review. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.

All review reports are published once approved by the Global Forum and they thus represent agreed Global Forum reports.

In 2011 the international development community committed to make development co-operation more effective to deliver better results for the world’s poor. At the mid-point between commitments endorsed in the High-Level Forum in Busan, Korea in 2011 and the 2015 target date of the Millennium Development Goals, this report takes stock of how far we have come and where urgent challenges lie. This report - a first snapshot of the state-of-play since Busan - reveals both successes and shortfalls. It draws on the ten indicators of the Global Partnership monitoring framework. Despite global economic turbulence, changing political landscapes and domestic budgetary pressure, commitment to effective development co-operation principles remains strong. Longstanding efforts to change the way that development co-operation is delivered are paying off. Past achievements on important aid effectiveness commitments that date back to 2005 have been sustained. Nevertheless, much more needs to be done to translate political commitments into concrete action. This report highlights where targeted efforts are needed to make further progress and to reach existing targets for more effective development co-operation by 2015.

Principes de l'OCDE pour renforcer l'intégrité dans les marchés publics

Evaluer les activités de construction de la paix dans les situations de conflit et de fragilité

La seizième édition des Perspectives agricoles a étéélaborée conjointement, pour la sixième fois, par l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE) et l'Organisation pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO) des Nations Unies. Axée sur l'évolution des marchés des produits de base pour la période 2010-2019, elle met à profit les connaissances spécialisées de ces deux organisations sur les produits, les politiques et les pays. Il s'agit d'analyser les tendances des marchés mondiaux pour les principaux produits agricoles, de même que pour les biocarburants, et d'apporter une évaluation des perspectives des marchés agricoles pour la production, la consommation, les échanges, les stocks et les prix des produits considérés.



Les hypothèses macroéconomiques qui sous-tendent cette année les projections des produits de base sont plus optimistes que celles de l'édition de l'année dernière. Le retour escompté de la croissance économique mondiale, l'augmentation de la population, les marchés émergents des biocarburants, et une structure de coûts plus élevés sont attendus pour soutenir les marchés et les prix internationaux des produits au cours de la période de projection à l'étude. Les pays en développement devraient être la force motrice de la croissance attendue de la production, de la consommation et des échanges agricoles. Les projections et les tendances historiques sont présentées dans l'annexe statistique du rapport et apparaissent plus en détail sur le site internet www.agri-outlook.org.



L'édition de cette année comporte également une section spéciale sur la volatilité des prix et la transmission des prix mondiaux aux marchés intérieurs. Les gouvernements sont préoccupés par la volatilité des prix car elle affecte la viabilité des exploitations, la sécurité alimentaire et les investissements nécessaires. Le rapport analyse les éléments de preuve de la volatilité des prix et l'évolution de celle-ci sur le long terme, et apporte un résumé des conseils politiques de la FAO et de l'OCDE pour faire face à cette question.
