One major task of the OECD is to contribute to an increase of world trade on the basis of non-discrimination, in accordance with international undertakings. OECD is doing valuable preparatory work in the trade area by analyzing issues of current interest before they become subject to international negotiations in other forums. Examples are the relationships between trade and other policy areas such as environment, competition, investment regulatory policy, corruption and electronic commerce. Sweden participates actively in the work of the OECD in this area.
