Record of Decisions

This document is a preliminary working paper for the use of the Governing Body and officials of the Office.

The comments or reservations by individual members or groups subject to which the decisions were made will be found in the minutes of the session. Where an Office publication or paper refers to a Governing Body decision, the source given should be the relevant Governing Body document and minutes, and not this Record of Decisions.

After the decision the sitting at which it was taken is indicated in brackets together with the basis on which it was taken, including appropriate references to Governing Body papers. The decisions are reproduced in full, with the exception of those relating to reports of the Committee on Freedom of Association, where a simple reference is made to the paragraphs of the report which form the basis of the decision. The table of contents is in the form of a detailed agenda showing for each item the number of the relevant Governing Body paper and that of the relevant paragraph in the Record of Decisions.

Resolution to be submitted to the 89th Session (2001) of the International Labour Conference

      The General Conference of the International Labour Organization,

      Recognizing that amendments to the Financial Regulations are required to put into effect the direct use of arrears of contributions received to reimburse the Working Capital Fund or to repay amounts borrowed to finance a cash deficit in a previous financial period;

      Decides to make the following amendments to the Financial Regulations:^[2]

Article 18

      1.    The excess [or shortfall of income over expenditure] of income over expenditure (surplus) or the shortfall in income compared with expenditure (deficit) in any complete financial period shall be calculated by deducting budgetary expenditure from budgetary income with a financial provision being made for delays in the payment of contributions. Such provision shall amount to 100 per cent of the contributions unpaid at the [date of the financial statements at the] end of the financial period.

      2.    Any such [excess of income over expenditure] surplus, expressed in Swiss francs calculated at the budget rate of exchange for that financial period, shall be used to reduce the contributions of Members in the following way: Members which paid their ordinary contributions in the financial period in which this surplus accrued shall have their share of the surplus deducted from their contributions assessed for the second year of the succeeding financial period; other Members shall not be credited with their share until they have paid the contributions due from them for the financial period in which the surplus accrued. When they have done so their share of such surplus shall be deducted from their contributions assessed for the first year of the next financial period for which a budget is adopted after such payment.

Article 21

      1.    (No change.)

      2.    If any sums withdrawn from the Working Capital Fund or borrowed to finance [budgetary] expenditure [pending receipt of contributions or other income and/or expenditure incurred in the financingof contingencies and emergencies under prior authorization of the Governing Body] cannot be reimbursed in the course of the same financial period, then:

to the extent that the sums were withdrawn or borrowed to finance budgetary expenditure pending the receipt of contributions or other income, they shall be reimbursed from arrears of contributions received in the following financial period or periods;
to the extent that the sums were withdrawn or borrowed to finance expenditure incurred in respect of contingencies or emergencies under prior authorization of the Governing Body, they [owing to the fact that the total budgetary income for the period falls short of total authorized expenditure incurred during the period, the sums so borrowed or withdrawn] shall be reimbursed to the lender or lenders and to the Fund in the second year of the next following financial period by adding to the contributions assessed on member States for that year an additional assessment in Swiss francs equivalent to the amount so borrowed or withdrawn[:], provided that temporary surpluses [of budgetary income over expenditure occurring at any time] shall be utilized to the extent possible to reduce the amount of outstanding loans or advances.

      3.    (No change.)
