The other countries mentioned in the OECD report are Liberia, Nauru, Vanuatu and the Marshall islands. These seven territories could suffer sanctions as from April 2003, the date set by the OECD for collaborative measures in the framework of the fight against world terrorism, money laundering and tax evasion. Sanctions could be the revoking of bilateral fiscal agreements between these territories and the OECD countries. The OECD is composed of 30 member states, these being the EU and central European countries, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, S. Korea and Japan. For the time being, however, the OECD intends to proceed with dialogue, leaving the door open for a change of attitude. John ASHTEAD PRAVDA.Ru

GENERAL INFORMATION Country and people Geography The territory of the Principality of Liechtenstein is enclosed between Switzerland and Austria and covers a surface area of 160 km . Liechtenstein is divided into 11 rural communes, the two largest accounting for some 5,000 inhabitants each. A quarter of the land area is in the Rhine valley, while the other three quarters are on the slopes of the Rhine valley and in the inner Alpine area. Vaduz is the capital and the seat of the State authorities. Historical overview Archaeological finds bear witness to the fact that the territory of the present-day Principality of Liechtenstein has been permanently settled since the fourth millennium B.C. In the year 15 B.C., Rhaetia became a Roman province. During the Roman period, the Rhaetia culture became Christianized and Romanized. In the fifth century, Alemanni invaded the collapsing Roman empire and mixed with the existing population. Germanization of the culture continued up until the 12th century. Under Charlemagne, as a result of the centralization of imperial power, the former province of Rhaetia became a county.

Liechtenstein Country Code: li Flag of Liechtenstein Background: The Principality of Liechtenstein was established within the Holy Roman Empire in 1719; it became a sovereign state in 1806. Until the end of World War I, it was closely tied to Austria, but the economic devastation caused by that conflict forced Liechtenstein to conclude a customs and monetary union with Switzerland. Since World War II (in which Liechtenstein remained neutral) the country's low taxes have spurred outstanding economic growth. However, shortcomings in banking regulatory oversight have resulted in concerns about the use of the financial institutions for money laundering.

You could even be forgiven for thinking that it was part of Switzerland: its currency is Swiss, all travel documents valid for Switzerland are also valid for Liechtenstein, and the only border formalities are on the Austrian side. You can look for differences between Liechtenstein and Switzerland but you're kidding yourself if you think you've found many. Liechtenstein issues its own stamps (which draw some of the more philatelically minded); and unlike Switzerland it joined the United Nations in 1990, and the European Economic Area (EEA) in 1995. Apart from that, it's pretty much business as usual in the Alps - skiing, fine wines and clean mountain air.

Information about Liechtenstein Covering only 62.4 square miles and with a population of 32,000 people, it is a wonder the small European country of Liechtenstein even exists. But the principality has carved out a humble spot for itself on the European map since 1719, and offers a treat for tourists who are game for a diversion. bodyOffer(32412) Liechtenstein is a small strip of earth wedged between Austria and Switzerland. The country is almost an extension of their Swiss neighbors as Liechtensteiners use the Swiss airport, the Swiss currency and official Swiss travel documents. The border between Liechtenstein and Switzerland is also open. Amicable relations between Liechtenstein and Switzerland have endured throughout the former’s history. The Liechtenstein family of Austria founded Liechtenstein when the two provinces of Vaduz and Schellenberg merged. By 1719 the Holy Roman Empire granted Liechtenstein the status of an independent principality. Given her small size, the young country felt threatened by her more powerful neighbors. Their fears were realized when Napoleon eventually conquered the nation. Liechtenstein's vanquished state didn’t last long and her independence was restored by 1815 with Napoleon’s demise. To avoid another aggressive takeover, Liechtenstein moved toward neutrality much like the Swiss. For a time, Liechtenstein allowed Switzerland to guide her foreign affairs. Liechtenstein's neutrality was respected throughout World War I and World War II.

Year of the Mountains Why are mountains important? Centres of culture and traditional knowledge As the highest, most mystical and impressive features of the landscape, mountains have, over the ages, been a source of inspiration and played an important role in beliefs and traditions throughout the world. Also, due to the relative inaccessibility of these areas, cultural diversity has evolved and flourished as expressed through language, art and unique customs. Globalization, while providing new economic opportunities, may threaten the social and cultural integrity of mountain societies. find more about this topic: http:// www.mountains2002.org
