Israel medlem av OECD

Israel har fått inbjudan att bli medlem av OECD. I Israel hälsas beslutet med glädje. Palestiniernas premiärminister och pro-palestinska grupper har försökt förhindra ett israeliskt medlemskap men OECD länderna var eniga i sitt beslut.

Accession : Estonia, Israel and Slovenia invited to join OECD
"10/05/2010 – OECD countries agreed today to invite Estonia, Israel and Slovenia to become members of the Organisation, paving the way for the Organisation’s membership to grow to 34 countries.
“Estonia, Israel and Slovenia, along with Chile that has just deposited its instrument to become a full member, will contribute to a more plural and open OECD that is playing an increasingly important role in the global economic architecture,” OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría said."
