ANNEX III:

FAO REGIONAL FISHERY BODIES: MEETINGS, ATTENDANTS AND COSTS 1/1/1993 TO 1/4/1996

Note: The entire FAO Fisheries Department acts as the Secretariat for FAO Statutory Bodies. It is therefore impossible to provide more accurate monetary figures for all the indirect costs in connection with the organization of the Sessions. The figures shown are to be regarded as indicative since they cover mainly the costs of the documentation, consultants, travel of the staff of the Secretariat and the travel of the experts appointed in their individual capacities.
