Focus on Latvia immigration and Latvia economy: The Chair of the OECD Council informed Latvian Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis by phone on October 15 that the OECD Council has approved the Latvia "Roadmap", which means that Latvia officially begins the process of joining the organization. In December 2013, the OECD will send a technical delegation to Latvia to participate in the preparation of the memorandum for Latvia's accession to the OECD.
The "Roadmap" includes the plans and conditions for Latvia's accession to the OECD. Currently, Latvia should prepare for the initial memorandum for joining the OECD, and in 2014, the OECD will conduct an in-depth assessment of the Latvian economy.
