		      <description><![CDATA[The OECD plays an important role in promoting a better understanding of what science and technology do and could do, as well as the factors shaping how research is carried out and how it is then used. The OECD works with countries to obtain internationally comparable data and provide them with information on the scientific, technological and industrial environment and its relation to general economic goals such as growth and employment as a basis for examining the effectiveness of national policies. The OECD has also been working on biotechnology-related topics for over 30 years.]]></description>
