SUBJECT: IRISH RESPONSE TO OECD GOVERNANCE REFORM DEMARCHE
REF: STATE 120433
On July 8, Post delivered reftel demarche to James McIntyre,
Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) First Secretary for EU
Common Policies and the OECD. McIntyre said that the GOI
agreed with USG points on the urgent need to make the OECD a
better governed, more effective organization. Ireland,
however, favors a Working Party on governance reform that is
fully inclusive, i.e., open to participation by all OECD
members, not simply representative of members' interests.
McIntyre noted that buy-in to comprehensive reforms depended
on opportunities for input by all OECD members through the
Working Party mechanism. Ireland also supports the Working
Party's prerogative to draw on outside expertise in its work.
McIntyre said that proposals for a parallel group to
interact with outside experts would cause unnecessary delays.
