ii. - Extract from the Communication of the Committee of Ministers on the examination of the Budget by the Assembly (Doc. 342)
Apart from any other considerations,
for it to be feasible to consult the Assembly on the draft Budget
of the Council of Europe as a whole this draft Budget would have
to be prepared by the Secretariat General in the first months of
the year, namely at a time when it is still impossible to make accurate
estimates for the following year.
However, the Committee of Ministers
has agreed that the Assembly should be given the opportunity of
expressing its opinion on the Budget of the Council and has therefore
instructed the Secretary General to transmit to the Assembly a documentation
comprising the final audited accounts for the previous Financial
Year and the Budget for the current Financial Year. Such documentation
will, in fact, provide adequate material for the Assembly to express
an opinion as to what credits might be included in the Budget for
the following year. The Committee of Ministers will make a point
of examining such opinions when the time comes.
