OECD printing
facilities is a new entry this year
|
This is a joint entry for the printing facilities at the OECD
and the rainforests around the world that have made it possible
for the organisation to produce the sheer volume of discussion
drafts, policy papers and so on that have emerged from its
Paris headquarters over the course of the year.
"Haha, well we are trying to move away from printing, which
is why we are doing the webcasts and trying to put everything
on the web," laughs Pascal Saint-Amans, director of the Centre
for Tax Policy and Administration and Global Tax 50 2014 top 10
member. "But it's true that I have a secretary general who
loves handing over paper. So, yes, we are printing a lot!"
The number of documents emerging from the OECD this past
year is testament to the wide scope of the CTPA's stakeholder
view-gathering efforts. More than 1,500 pages of comments were
submitted in response to just the transfer pricing-specific
action items of the BEPS project, all of which are feeding into
final documents and recommendations. It is safe to say the
printers will continue to whir throughout 2015.
