Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Sweden had also requested that the OECD provide feedback concerning their adoption of the Action 14 best practices, and therefore, the OECD has also released four accompanying best practices reports. Overall, the reports conclude that these jurisdictions meet most of the elements of the Action 14 Minimum Standards. In the next stage of the peer review process, each jurisdiction's efforts to address any shortcomings identified in its Stage 1 peer review report will be monitored. Document ID: 2017-2133 |
