The modern structure of the UK economy is largely based on knowledge, ideas and innovation and its well integrated global value chains. These factors help boost the country’s economic growth, but at the same time they make it highly susceptible to the risk of trade in counterfeit goods. This risk negatively affects UK rights holders, the UK government, and the reputation of UK firms. This report measures the direct, economic effects of counterfeiting on consumers, retail and manufacturing industry and governments in the United Kingdom. It does so from two perspectives: the impact on these three groups of imports of fake products into the UK, and the impact of the global trade in fake products on UK intellectual property rights holders.

This report takes a case study approach, analysing the management and implementation of policies in the Drava and South-East regions of Slovenia. It provides a comparative framework to understand the role of the local labour market policy in matching people to jobs, engaging employers in skills development activities, as well as fostering new growth and economic development opportunities. It includes practical policy examples of actions taken in Slovenia to help workers find better quality jobs, while also stimulating productivity and inclusion.

Norway has long used technology to streamline processes within the public sector and bring the government closer to citizens and businesses. Now the country is going further, seeking to transform its public sector through the full assimilation of digital technologies. The goal is to make it more efficient, collaborative, user- and data-driven, and better able to respond to the changing needs and expectations of citizens and businesses. This review analyses the efforts under way and provides policy advice to support the Norwegian government in implementing digital government.

The OECD Review of Telecommunication Policy and Regulation in Mexico, released in 2012, provided a comprehensive examination of the sector at the time, highlighting potential areas for regulatory and policy reform. Since then, the Mexican telecommunication sector has experienced substantial progress both from a legal and regulatory perspective, but also with respect to current market dynamics. The changes derive, to an important extent, from the reform that has taken place in Mexico since 2013, which closely reflect the 2012 OECD recommendations.This report assesses subsequent market developments in the telecommunication and broadcasting sectors in Mexico, evaluates the implementation of the 2012 OECD recommendations, and puts forward a number of recommendations for the future. It records the remarkable progress made in implementing policy and regulatory changes and identifies areas where more can be done to continue the momentum that has brought tangible benefits to the people of Mexico.

En 15 ans, l’enquête PISA (Programme international pour le suivi des acquis des élèves) de l’OCDE est devenue la référence mondiale dans le domaine de l’évaluation de la qualité et de l’équité des systèmes d’éducation. Outil précieux, elle permet aux gouvernements et aux professionnels de l’éducation de s’inspirer de politiques et de pratiques internationales efficaces, qui peuvent ensuite être adaptées à un échelon local.Pour la première fois en France dans un livre sont publiées les analyses approfondies de PISA relatives au système éducatif français. Un des enjeux les plus importants concerne les écarts grandissants entre les élèves les plus brillants, issus pour la plupart des milieux favorisés et ceux en grande difficulté scolaire, appartenant quant à eux aux milieux les plus défavorisés. Les propositions de l’OCDE en la matière peuvent guider les décideurs et les éducateurs dans leurs missions respectives. En outre, l’un des prochains défis du nouveau ministre de l’Éducation nationale sera d’activer les bons leviers afin de rendre le système éducatif français plus performant et plus inclusif et de faire ainsi remonter la France, dont le rang stagne depuis plusieurs années, dans les classements PISA.Préface d’Andreas Schleicher, directeur de la Direction de l’éducation et des compétences à l’OCDE.Introduction (PISA mode d’emploi) de Louise Cuneo, journaliste spécialisée en matière d’éducation au magazine Le Point et auteur avec Sophie Delcourt du livre Jours de collège (2014).

Large quantities of materials arising from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities are non-radioactive per se. An additional significant share of materials is of very low-level or low-level radioactivity and can, after having undergone treatment and a clearance process, be recycled and reused in a restricted or unrestricted way. Recycle and reuse options today provide valuable solutions to minimise radioactive waste from decommissioning and at the same time maximise the recovery of valuable materials. The NEA Co-operative Programme on Decommissioning (CPD) prepared this overview on the various approaches being undertaken by international and national organisations for the management of slightly contaminated material resulting from activities in the nuclear sector. The report draws on CPD member organisations’ experiences and practices related to recycling and reuse, which were gathered through an international survey. It provides information on improvements and changes in technologies, methodologies and regulations since the 1996 report on this subject, with the conclusions and recommendations taking into account 20 years of additional experience that will be useful for current and future practitioners. Case studies are provided to illustrate significant points of interest, for example in relation to scrap metals, concrete and soil.
