The Chateau de la Muette in the 16th arrondissement in Paris became in 1949 the headquarters of the Organization of European Economic Co-operation (OEEC) which administered the Marshall Plan's funds provided by the United States to promote post-war recovery of a devastated Europe. In 1961 the OEEC became the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the chateau is since then the main conference center for the many meetings for country delegates coming on a regular basis to the OECD.
Last year was the 50 year celebration and the colorful design and 'advertisement' is still
proudly displayed:
"The OECD measures, analyses and compares to give the basis for better policies for a better life" - This is my translation and it makes me proud that the husband is part of this think tank.
