Accession process to the OECD: The co-operation between Brazil and the OECD dates back from the early 1990s and has steadily grown. Today, Brazil is the Organization’s most engaged Key Partner, while waiting for a decision on the request presented in 2017 to initiate an accession process to the Organization. The engagement with the OECD is part of a wider strategy of the Brazilian government to consolidate a path for strong, sustainable and inclusive growth. Brazil finds great value in the policy standards developed by the OECD and, over the past years, has drawn on OECD standards to improve its policies and legal instruments for the benefit of its citizens. At the moment of the request for accession to the OECD, Brazil had already adhered to 34 OECD Recommendations and Decisions. Brazil also attaches significant importance to the conclusions of the several reviews carried out by the OECD concerning a varied set of Brazilian policies. In the environmental area, Brazil benefited in 2015 from an OECD Environmental Performance Review that provided an overall assessment of Brazil’s environmental policy. The review recognized that natural resources are essential to Brazil’s development, highlighting that the agricultural and extractive activities play a fundamental role in promoting sustainable growth and the well-being of Brazil’s population. It also acknowledged the alignment of these activities with the country’s commitment to protect its environment and to advance towards a greener and more sustainable development path. Decree No. 9.920, of July 18, 2019: The President Bolsonaro signed the Decree n 9.920/2019, creating the Council for Preparation and Monitoring of the Admission of Brazil to the OECD.
