Hundred and Tenth Session |
Rome, 19 – 23 September 2005 |
Approval of the Budgets of the Desert Locust Commissions |
FAO COMMISSION FOR CONTROLLING THE DESERT LOCUST
IN SOUTH-WEST ASIA
FAO COMMISSION FOR CONTROLLING THE DESERT LOCUST IN
THE CENTRAL REGION
1. There are three Desert Locust Commissions currently operated by FAO: the Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in South-West Asia (Eastern Region); the Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Central Region; and the Commission for Controlling the Desert Locust in the Western Region. According to the “Basic Texts for the Agreement of the Establishment” of each of these Commission [Article IX, section 4 Administrative Matters (6)], the Budget of each Commission should be submitted to the Council (delegated to the Finance Committee) prior to implementation.
2. The Budgets of the Commissions draw on the funds available in the Trust Fund of each Commission. The source of these funds is the contributions made by the Member Countries of the Commission. The Budgets are decided upon at each Commission Session by participating countries and the level is agreed generally according to a standard budget, with additional amounts sometimes included that draw on unspent balances from previous years. Normally the Session approves the budget for the current year and for the next year.
3. The Budgets submitted here are the budgets approved by the Commission Sessions held in April 2004 for the Central Region, in January 2005 for South-West Asia (Eastern Region) and in June 2005 for the Western Region. Where the budget is shown as “indicative”, this is the standard budget applicable to the individual Commission, related to the level of annual contributions. The next Session of each Commission will prepare a more precise budget for these years, in which some unused balances may or may not be employed.
