Abstract

The Environment Committee of the OECD was established only a year before Australian accession, and this chapter shows how this allowed Australia to play a formative role in its evolution. The work on environment is shown to have given rise to around 30 per cent of the 284 formal legal instruments of the OECD (Council Acts) and this regulatory agenda has made effective engagement by Australia important, especially since its political economy, more heavily reflective of resource extraction and processing than most other OECD members, means it has often found itself somewhat out of alignment with the environmental concerns of many other members, especially those of Europe. The chapter describes a case where this was very much in evidence: the proposal for an OECD Council Act on lead. It also provides a general overview of some of the main issues relating to Australia’s involvement in the Environment Committee. Key words: environment; risk; lead; federalism; trade and environment
