The financial regulations of the EuFMD can be found here.

Member Nations Contributions

The current scale of contributions was adopted at the 45th General Session of the EuFMD in 2023, with five categories, based on a formula for classification, which used two equal criteria, a) the FAO contribution and b) livestock population.

When a nation joins the EuFMD, the contributions are determined by the Executive Committee in accordance with the Financial Regulations of the Commission. The determination made by the Executive Committee shall be subject to confirmation by the Commission at its next regular session.
