   Having regard to the Rules of Procedure of the Organisation;

 

   Having regard to paragraph 1 of the Report of the Preparatory Committee concerning the creation of an Industry Committee [OECD/C(61)9], last revised in 1973 [C(73)235(Final)], which subsequently became the Committee on Industry and Business Environment (CIBE) [C(2001)7/FINAL], and most recently the Committee on Industry, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE) [C(2006)132/REV1 & CORR1, C/M(2006)16, Item 209];

• globalisation of markets and development of global value chains and the increasing interdependence of manufacturing and services;

• growing importance of intellectual property, knowledge assets and entrepreneurship;

• need for adjustment and fiscal consolidation in some developed economies following the global economic and financial crisis;

• success of emerging economies seeking to maintain high rates of growth by moving up the value chain; and

• challenges of climate change, resource scarcity, rapid technological change, population ageing, health, international development, as well as other societal challenges;

 

   Considering that these trends are driving profound changes in countries' industrial structures and in the respective roles of countries in the global economy, and call for carefully designed policies in response;
