By the end of the fifties, the construction of Europe had come to an end. Structures to meet the new economic challenges of the future had to be created. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) was signed on 14 December 1960 and entered into force on 30 September 1961. The seat of the organization is Paris, official languages ​​are English and French. The aim of the OECD is to achieve optimal economic development and employment in the member states while maintaining financial stability, as well as a rising standard of living, thereby contributing to the development of the global economy. It is also part of its mission to help member and non-member states, which are in the process of economic development, to thrive in healthy economic growth. It should also contribute to the expansion of world trade on a multilateral and non-discriminatory basis, in line with international commitments. The special postage stamp issued on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the signing of the OECD Convention shows a stylized depiction of the Chateau de la Muette, the headquarters of the organization in Paris.
