3 Who We Are USCIB The United States Council for International Business is the sole American affiliate of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) to the OECD, and the International Organisation of Employers (IOE). As such, it officially represents U.S. business positions both in the main intergovernmental bodies and vis-à-vis foreign business communities and their governments. It works on a broad range of policy issues as an advocate for an open system of world trade, finance and investment in which business can flourish and contribute to economic growth, human welfare and protection of the environment. The USCIB Tax Committee advocates for sound and appropriate international tax policy to maintain American business competitiveness by bringing the voice of U.S. business to the table at home and abroad. OECD The mission of the OECD is to help its member countries to achieve sustainable economic growth and employment and to raise the standard of living in member countries while maintaining financial stability all this in order to contribute to the development of the world economy. OECD s taxation work covers a broad range of activities, including tax evasion, harmful tax practices, electronic commerce and environmental taxes. The OECD produces internationally comparable statistics and engages in monitoring and assessment of policies. National tax systems are analyzed for their effect on labor, capital and product markets.
