OECD engagement and accession
As one of the OECD’s two institutional partners, TUAC has access to the OECD and its country delegations. TUAC participates in the annual OECD Ministerial Council Meeting and its pre-consultation organised by the country holding the presidency.
Another key event is the annual OECD-TUAC Liaison Committee Meeting, which is a forum for dialogue between TUAC, the OECD Secretary General and OECD ambassadors.
TUAC closely follows the OECD’s engagement and cooperation with non-members and provides input into the accession process for candidate countries.
