Brazil’s Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said today (Jan. 18th) that the country may request changes in its proposal to join the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The topic is being discussed in a working group that should advise President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on the next steps to be taken by Brazil, he said.
The minister pointed out there is nothing preventing the nation from requesting its admission to the group in accordance with its interests. He noted that the country already takes part in meetings by a number of OECD technical committees. “It’s not an all-or-nothing situation. There’s room for discussion. Brazil can make changes to its request. So can other countries,” he added, after meeting with OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
