Rabbinge FAO candidate
Rabbinge believes he stands a good chance of being elected. ‘There are only two candidates so far, and I am the only one from the OECD.’ The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development consists of thirty rich western countries. The current chairman of the FAO Council is the Moroccan Aziz Mekouar. As his two predecessors were also from developing countries, the Dutch government has declared that it is time for a candidate from an OECD member country. / KV
