							         <description><![CDATA[One of the agenda items at the G8 Summit in L’Aquila this week is expected to be a discussion of a proposed new “Global Standard” for international business dealings (see www.oecd.org/globalstandard). An Italian-led working group has drawn up, with the assistance of the OECD, a list of 12 “common principles and standards” in support of this project.
