Finance Committee



Ninety-third Session

Rome, 13 - 17 September 1999

Regional Animal Production and Health Commission for Asia and the Pacific (APHCA) - Budget for 2000-2001

1. The Finance Committee is being provided with the budget of the above-mentioned Commission for information so that funds received in the Commission's Trust Fund may be spent for the purposes specified in the budget.

2. The Agreement for the establishment of this Commission under Article XIV of the FAO Constitution was approved by the Council in June 1973. The Agreement came into force on 29 December 1975. Membership is open to all FAO Member Nations and Associate Members situated wholly or partly in the "Region" defined as the area bounded by latitudes 50o and longitudes 60o East and 130o West. Members are Australia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Iran, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

3. Under Article XV of the Agreement, each Member of the Commission undertakes to contribute annually its share of the budget in accordance with a scale of contributions to be adopted by a two-thirds majority of its Membership. At the 16th Session of the Commission held in 1991, the Commission approved an increase of 8 percent per year to its membership contribution to cover inflation. However, and in view of economic difficulties affecting many countries in the Region, at its 22nd Session held in Thailand in 1998, the approved scale of contributions for 1998 and 1999 included no increase. The contributions for 2000 and 2001 are proposed for approval at the forthcoming 23rd Session to be held in India in September 1999.

4. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Organization provides the Secretariat of the Commission. The Finance Committee at its 38th Session ruled that the inputs of the Organization should be shown jointly with the Commission's budget so that the latter might be seen in its proper context. Accordingly, the attached tables reflect both the APHCA Trust Fund and expected Regular Programme contribution.
