The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to coordinate domestic and international policies. Commission of the European Communities takes part in the work of the OECD. OECD Publishing disseminates widely the results of the Organisation's statistics gathering and research on economic, social and environmental issues, as well as the conventions, guidelines and standards agreed by its members. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. F...

Regarding the indications in the guidelines for preparing the texts and our concern for checking the form of all the papers before sending them to print, there are notable differences and some errors, for which we ask to be excused. As always happens when planning congresses, there is such a short time available between receiving the papers and giving them to the printing office to prepare the preprints. In addition, many authors sent their papers late. Nevertheless, we believe that this volume gives a good representation of the various contributions presented at EurSafe 2001 and is of notable interest. We give heartfelt thanks to all of the authors for their work and patience with which they responded to our

The model describes area planted, yield, consumption, private and public stock behavior for the major exporting countries/country aggregates: the United States, Canada, Australia, the European Economic Community, and Argentina. Importing countries or country aggregates: Japan, Rest of the World, Rest of OECD, the USSR and Eastern Europe, and China are described by their production and net import behavior where applicable. The model specifies both public and private behavior and incorporates the effects of public storage on private storage behavior. The effect of public storage behavior on world price variability is then examined in an environment characterized by stochastic production disturbances. Three alternative public storage rules are compared to the case of no public storage with respect to their impact on world price variability. The simulation results indicate that in comparison to a no public storage rule, price responsive public storage not only has contributed to a reduction in the world price variability but has also served to increase the mean of the world price. Under the fixed quantity storage rule there is an increase in the mean price, no reduction in price variability is obtained. While the operation of a price responsive buffer stock is able to reduce world price by over 60 percent, the size of the initial buffer stock must be quite large so as to avoid negative values under random production disturbances. The estimation and simulation results also indicate that the presence of private storage should be explicitly considered in public storage policies whose objective is to reduce price variability

Using the Trade Restrictiveness Index (TRI) and the Mercantilistic Trade Restrictiveness Index (MTRI) as indicators, we assess the tari structures chosen by the EU and the US in terms of their welfare and market access impacts. The eects of the actual UR Agreement commitments are compared with alternative tari reduction schemes such as the`Swiss formula' and a uniform reduction in taris.

Potential Implications of Animal Welfare Concerns and Public Policies in Industrialized Countries for International Trade1

This case study examines the current status of animal welfare measures, both private and public, ... more This case study examines the current status of animal welfare measures, both private and public, in the European Union 4. We do not attempt to address philosophical issues about whether society's preferences for animal welfare can be expressed through markets and the role of public policy in correcting market failure, since these issues have been dealt with elsewhere (Blandford and Fulponi, 1999). Our focus is on the nature of public concerns about animal welfare in the European Union and the way that these are being reflected in private initiatives and public policy. We examine the implications of the actions being taken for international competition and trade. Finally, we offer some suggestions on ways in which animal welfare preferences might be accommodated at the multinational level. Nature and implications of animal welfare concerns What is animal welfare? There are several approaches to defining animal welfare (see box). However, a widely used definition is that 'welfare' refers to the state of a being in relation to its environment (Broom 1991). This implies that it is possible to measure animal welfare by assessing an animal's ability to cope with its environment, and that failure to cope or difficulties in coping indicate poor welfare. Approaches to the measurement of welfare using science-based principles have emerged with the increase in social concern about the "quality of life" of farm animals. However, it is difficult to decide what should be measured and how these measurements should be weighted since there is no universally agreed definition of what constitutes higher versus lower levels of welfare. Consequently, it is typical to use a range of science-based indicators.

Reforms in agricultural policy porposed by OECD Ministers in 1987 and elaborated in subsequent Ministerial meetings aim to place greater reliance on market rather than institutionally-set prices. As a result of reforms, producers of agricultural products will be obliged to refer to prices determined in, or influenced by, international commodity exchanges in making their decisions. One of the arguments for greater reliance on market-determined prices is that these will provide more accurate signals of fundamental market conditions and thus will generate an efficient allocation of resources. In this context, price variability may likely be an important issue. To the extent that market prices will increasingly guide decisions, price variability, particularly in the short to medium term, merits examination. [fre] Les réformes de la politique agricole proposées par les ministres des pays de l'OCDE en 1987 et élaborées lors des réunions ministérielles suivantes visent à s'en remettre au marché plutôt qu'aux prix fixés de façon institutionnelle. A la suite des réformes, les producteurs de produits agricoles seront obligés, pour prendre des décisions, de se baser sur des prix déterminés ou influencés par les bourses internationales de marchandises. Un des arguments les plus appropriés pour justifier la dépendance envers les prix déterminés sur le marché est que ceux-ci fourniront des signaux plus précis sur les conditions fondamentales du marché et qu'ils engendreront donc une allocation plus efficiente des ressources. Dans ce contexte, la variabilité des prix pourrait être une question importante. Dans la mesure où les prix de marché guideront de plus en plus les décisions, leur variabilité, en particulier à court et moyen terme, mérite d'être examinée.
