The OECD Secretariat and Argentina held informal talks in early 2016 concerning Argentina’s membership in the G20 and interest in the Organisation. In April of that year, the OECD’s Committee on Statistics and Statistical Policy (CSSP) agreed to add Argentina to its Participation Plan as an Invitee, both for the Committee itself and its working parties. 2. Shortly afterwards, on 30 June 2016, Argentina’s then Minister of Treasury and Public Finance, Alfonso Prat-Gay, wrote to the OECD Secretary General expressing his country’s willingness to adhere to the Recommendation of the Council on Good Statistical Practice (herein, CRGSP, C(2015)128) adopted in November 2015. In response, the CSSP agreed, via written procedure on 30 July 2016, on the following process: i. Conduct a preliminary review to allow the CSSP to form a judgement whether Argentina is fully committed to putting in place a sound statistical system, in line with the Council Recommendation. ii. Conditional on the CSSP expressing a positive opinion on Argentina’s adherence to the Council Recommendation on the basis of the preliminary review, consider a full review of Argentina’s statistical system, in line with the well-established model used in the context of accession to the OECD. Such a full review would enable the CSSP to monitor progress towards the implementation of the Council Recommendation with respect to the statistical law and across the full range of OECD statistical domains. 3. Pursuant to 2.i above, the OECD Secretariat carried out a preliminary review between late 2016 and March 2017. The full text of its assessment is available as document STD/CSSP(2017)7/ANN1. It provided an initial evaluation of the prevailing institutional arrangements and of the quality and international comparability of Argentinean statistics in a limited number of statistical subject domains, assessing their degree of conformity with OECD standards in terms of coverage, compliance, timeliness, availability and metadata. Specifically, it addressed Argentina’s i. Legal and institutional framework for official statistics (LIF) ii. National accounts (including public sector debt) iii. Consumer price indices iv. International Trade in Goods 4. Based on the preliminary review, the CSSP at its meeting in June 2017 expressed a positive opinion as to Argentina’s adherence to the OECD Council Recommendation, and recommended proceeding with the full review foreshadowed in 2.ii above. The Chair of the CSSP, Mr Konrad Pesendorfer, conveyed this advice to the Director-General of Argentina’s National Institute of Statistics and Census (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos – INDEC), Jorge Todesca, on 5 July 2017. After approval of the adherence by the OECD’s External Relations Committee, the OECD Secretary-General wrote to the new Minister of Treasury and Public Finance, Nicolás Dujovne, on 10 August 2017 declaring Argentina to be an Adherent and adding that “We look forward to supporting further your government in progressing towards a high-quality, institutionally solid and independent statistical system.” 6 5. Over the following months, the OECD Secretariat worked to design a detailed programme for the full review recommended by the CSSP, and a draft was presented to Mr Todesca in November 2017. After some further discussions, the programme for the review was agreed in January 2018. It provides for an assessment of three central aspects of the Argentinian statistical system and statistics, namely: i. The legal and institutional framework for official statistics ii. The statistical infrastructure, including Population and Housing Census, Agricultural Census, Economic Census, Business Register, Labour Force Surveys and Household Surveys, Enterprise surveys, International standards and classifications; and iii. The quality and comparability of data in the following OECD core subject matter domains: 1. National Accounts 2. Population Statistics 3. Business Statistics 4. Financial Statistics 5. International Trade in Goods and Services 6. Price Statistics and Purchasing Power Parities 7. Balance of Payments 8. Short-term Labour and Labour Compensation Statistics 9. Indexes of Production and Demand 10. Short-term Financial Statistics 11. Business Tendency and Consumer Opinion Surveys 12. Statistics on well-being and measuring progress. 6. The agreement on the review allowed that the final coverage of component (iii) might differ from the items listed above once the data domains and the producers of official statistics in Argentina were identified. 7. Arrangements for the review were further discussed in the margins of a visit to Buenos Aires in January 2018 by the Director of the OECD Statistics and Data Directorate (SDD), Martine Durand, in which she participated in the 50th anniversary celebrations of the foundation of INDEC. An OECD Study Team was then formed under the guidance of SDD Deputy Director Paul Schreyer. It consisted of five SDD staff, viz. Simon Scott, Counsellor; Nadim Ahmad, Head, Trade and Competitiveness Statistics Division; Marco Mira d’Ercole, Head, Household Statistics and Progress Measurement Division; Jorrit Zwijnenburg, Head of Section, National Accounts Division; and Julien Dupont, Analyst/Statistician, Global Relations. INDEC nominated Mr Pedro Lines, then its National Director for International Accounts and later its Technical Director, to co-ordinate the review for Argentina. 8. The Study Team developed questionnaires covering all aspects of the review and sent these to INDEC in February for completion and return by 30 June 2018. In the meantime, Study Team undertook a mission to Buenos Aires from 16 to 20 April 2018. This provided the opportunity for staff from INDEC and other entities of Argentina’s national statistical system to make presentations and exchange information with the Team before responding to the questionnaires. 9. This report is based mainly on questionnaire responses provided in July 2018, subsequent discussions and clarifications thereof, draft chapters submitted to INDEC for comment in February 2019, 7 and a further mission by Messrs Scott and Dupont in May 2019. It has been checked for accuracy by the Argentinian

Tribune pour un « Code » de règles juridiques internationales applicable au cyberespace. Le Cyberespace, 5ème Champ de conflictualité. Le cyberespace est défini par l’Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information (ANSSI) comme un « espace de communication constitué par l’interconnexion mondiale d’équipements de traitement automatisé de données numériques ». Il s’agit du 5ème champ de conflictualité, après l’air, l’eau, l’espace, la terre et la mer. Les trois éléments qui caractérisent le cyberespace, sont les réseaux physiques et virtuels, l’information et la donnée, la capacité de prolifération des outils malveillants du fait de la nature même du cyberespace. Le cyberespace n’échappe pas à toute régulation. S’il faut louer le travail du Conseil de l’Europe, la Convention de Budapest est néanmoins aujourd’hui le seul texte à vocation internationale applicable et reconnu par les pays signataires. Toutefois, en raison de sa limitation géographique, la Convention de Budapest présente des restrictions pour la lutte contre les cybermenaces. Or, les conflits qui se déroulent dans le cyberespace ne sauraient échapper, dans un système international et mondial fondé sur le droit, à toute régulation. La France participe à un groupe d’Etats, sélectionnés au sein de l’ONU, avec pour mission de travailler à la formulation de recommandations pour le renforcement de la sécurité du cyberespace.

According to National Police Commissioner Ambrósio de Lemos there is need to reduce the current airport base to a small opera- tional unit, in line with the requirements established by the Na- tional Company of Air Navigation and Exploration of Airports (Enana). Until recently all resources were based in Luanda but © Airbus Helicopters the plan is to decentralise the aircraft to smaller units and im- prove reaction times. One of the new smaller unit bases was opened at the end of February to operate from a hanger at the Mukanka International Airport (Huila) and the helicopters will cover the four provinces that comprise the country’s southern region, Cuando Cubango, Cunene, Huíla and Namibe and eventually central Huambo.

  • 16 the Argentinean Shipbuilding Industry
    16 The Argentinean shipbuilding industry Workers’ struggles in a state shipyard Cintia Russo Introduction The aim of this chapter is to analyse the trajectory and survival of one of the oldest and largest ship repair yards in Argentina – Talleres Dársena Norte (also known as TANDANOR, and today known as Complejo industrial naval argentino, CINAR). I will also identify and analyse stages in the history of the Argentine shipbuilding industry (ASI) to provide context to the two Argentinean shipyards studied in this book. In this sense, I highlight the role played in this path by two social actors, the state and trade unions: the former is a key factor in the trajectory of the ASI, and the struggles of the latter have achieved the shipyard’s survival.1 Founded in 1879, TANDANOR was originally established for the maintenance of the Argentinean naval fleet. TANANDOR/CINAR, with a history of more than a century, has acquired, in the past twenty years, a symbolic status as one of the oldest shipyards in Argentina, and the first to be privatised in 1991, then managed by its workers for nearly a decade, and finally renationalised in 2007. TANDANOR is a representative example of the peaks and troughs of the Argentinean economy. 1 The sources used in these pages are: statistics (national, provincial, and chambers of com- merce), institutional documents, and reports and balance sheets of TANDANOR and the trade associations: the Federation of Industry Naval Argentina (FINA), the Association of Buenos Aires shipbuilding (ABIN). For the diagnosis and proposals of the shipbuilding trade unions, I privileged two sources: key informant interviews and the local press.
