This Forum does not mark the end of a process. It was a key step aimed at sharing the main conclusions of our work on Mental Health and Work and to discuss where we stand, with the goal of connecting health policy makers and employment policy makers in order to discuss an issue that they can only solve together.

The OECD is an organisation which I am proud to lead, because I see first-hand, every day, the positive impact of OECD work on reforms on the configuration of a better reality for millions of people. It is most satisfactory to have this work recognised by such an esteemed and long-standing Member of our organisation. The Netherlands has been at the forefront of best practices for many years.

I am very pleased to join you today to launch the OECD Environmental Performance Review of Spain. This is the third Review of Spain: the first was published in 1997, and the second in 2004. The relatively long time that has elapsed since the last Review provides an opportunity to take stock of the results that Spain has achieved over the past decade to promote greener and more sustainable growth.
