Financial results for 1996-97

1.  At its 82nd Session (June 1995) the International Labour Conference approved an expenditure budget for the 1996-97 financial period amounting to $579,500,000 and an income budget for the period for the same amount, which, at the budget rate of exchange for the period of 1.16 Swiss francs to the US dollar, resulted in assessed contributions of 672,220,000 Swiss francs. At its 264th Session (November 1995) the Governing Body approved budget adjustments reducing the spending level by $21,704,950 to $557,795,050. No adjustment was made to the income budget.

2.  Contributions received in respect of the current and earlier biennia are accounted for as budgetary income in US dollars at the 1996-97 ILO budget rate of exchange, and the Swiss franc expenditure is recorded in US dollars at the same rate of exchange. US dollar budgetary income and expenditure figures reported herein accordingly result from the conversion of Swiss franc income and expenditure to US dollars at the 1996-97 budget rate of exchange of 1.16 Swiss francs to the US dollar.

3.  During the financial period additional expenditure items totalling $438,900 were approved by the Governing Body. Details are provided in Appendix II.

4.  Table 2 of Appendix I compares 1996-97 expenditure by major programme with the approved budget and reduced spending level. Expenditure under Part I of the budget during 1996-97 amounted to $505,944,781. This was lower than the reduced spending level for Part I of $556,920,050 by $50,975,269.

5.  Regular budget income and expenditure for 1996-97 are summarized in table 1 of Appendix I. Total budgetary income for 1996-97, after reimbursement of the 1994-95 cash deficit of $44,224,898, was $526,481,700 or $53,018,300 less than the approved income budget. The excess of income over expenditure for the period amounted to $20,536,919. At its 85th Session (June 1997) the International Labour Conference decided that the sum of $21,704,950 (that is, 25,177,742 Swiss francs at the budget rate of exchange of 1.16 Swiss francs to the US dollar) should be carried forward from 1996-97 and treated as budgetary income for 1998. After taking this adjustment into account, there is a net cash shortfall of $1,168,031. In accordance with the Conference decision, arrears of contributions received in 1998-99 will be used to finance this deficit.

6. Expenditure was $50.9 million lower than the budget, due to three main factors:

(a) decisions by the ICSC resulting in lower than anticipated cost increases for staff costs ($29.9 million);

(b) improvements in efficiency, particularly with respect to the functioning of the International Labour Conference ($4.8 million); and service and support to meetings in general ($5.3 million);

(c) the financial restrictions imposed during the first seven months of the biennium due to uncertainties prevailing regarding the receipt of contributions ($10.9 million).

7.  With respect to staff costs, provision had been made in the budget for cost increases of 2.0 per cent in 1995 and 2.5 per cent in both 1996 and 1997 for Professional staff assigned to Geneva and for General Service staff. This provision was lower than the 3.0 per cent per annum inflation assumption agreed upon in common with other organizations of the United Nations system having headquarters or major offices in Geneva. During this period, the only increase in Geneva post adjustment rates was one of 0.96 per cent in July 1995. As for General Service staff, at its 264th Session (November 1995)⁽¹⁾  the Governing Body approved the recommendation of the ICSC on the implementation of a new salary scale, which resulted in a salary freeze for existing staff and a salary scale that was 7.4 per cent lower for new staff. These lower staff costs have been taken into account in the preparation of the 1998-99 programme and budget proposals, resulting in minimal provisions for increases in staff costs in the budget.

8.  The savings under the Conference budget were largely a result of the reforms adopted by the Governing Body which affected the three sessions in 1996-97, including the Maritime Session in November 1996. A significant part of the savings were carried over in the approved Programme and Budget for 1998-99, which shows a reduction in real terms for the two regular sessions of the Conference of some $2.8 million.

9.  The savings realized under Major programme 220 (Relations, meetings and documentation), amounted to $5.3 million, principally due to reductions in staff, interpretation services and document distribution costs achieved through the use of more sophisticated computer methods for planning and production, revised working arrangements and other efficiencies. The savings achieved in 1996-97 are reflected in the significant reductions in the budget for 1998-99.

10.  In order to safeguard the financial position of the Office the Director-General introduced a wide range of measures in 1995. These were in force for some seven months in the 1996-97 biennium, and their effects were felt throughout the biennium. They included restrictions on the filling of vacancies and the recruitment of short-term staff, the reduction of staff, and measures to encourage early retirement. However, everything possible was done to realize the outputs specifically indicated in the programme and budget for the biennium 1996-97, including in particular research projects and publications. In consequence, much of the effect of the financial restrictions concerned ongoing or recurrent activities. For example, fewer activities to promote Conventions other than those directly relating to fundamental workers' rights were carried out. In most technical fields and in the regional departments, RBTC expenditure did not recover from the six- month period of restraint at the beginning of the biennium. A number of activities at the regional and country levels had to be reduced in scope or could no longer be organized in the remaining part of the biennium, and had to be deferred or cancelled.

Working Capital Fund and Income Adjustment Account

11.  Analyses of the movements of the Working Capital Fund and the Income Adjustment Account, including the composition of miscellaneous income credited to the latter account, are provided in table 5 of Appendix I.

Position in relation to paragraph 4 of article 13 of the Constitution

12.  Table 4 of Appendix I shows that, on 31 December 1997, the arrears of contributions of Afghanistan, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Central African Republic, Comoros, Congo, Georgia, Grenada, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Haiti, Solomon Islands, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Liberia, Republic of Moldova, Uzbekistan, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Tajikistan, Chad, Togo, Turkmenistan and Yugoslavia⁽²⁾  equalled or exceeded the amount of the contributions due from them for the past two full years (1995-96). Each of these member States had therefore lost the right to vote, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4 of article 13 of the Constitution of the Organization.

13.  Cambodia, Cape Verde, Djibouti, Dominican Republic, Paraguay and Poland have been permitted to vote in accordance with paragraph 4 of article 13 of the Constitution of the Organization under financial arrangements approved by the International Labour Conference at its 82nd (1995), 85th (1997), 78th (1991), and 75th (1988) Sessions respectively.

Geneva, 11 March 1998.

(1) To improve the comparability of 1996-97 expenditure, appropriations have been adjusted between items to reflect the reorganization as presented in the 1998-99 budget and effected during 1996-97. The principal changes have been the merger of the former Employment (060) and Training (070) into a single department, Employment and Training (060) ; the transfer of the Printing and Typing programme and the Distribution sub-programme from Editorial and Document Services (180) to Relations, Meetings and Document Services (220); and finally the merger of the Promotion of Technical Cooperation (125.3) and Active Partnership (245) into one single programme, Active Partnership and Technical Cooperation (245) .

Notes to Table 4

(1) Assessed contributions . Includes contributions assessed with the approval of the budget and contributions assessed on new member States.

(2) Financial arrangements: Albania and Viet Nam (previous membership of the ILO) . A financial arrangement was approved by the 81st (1994) Session of the International Labour Conference for the settlement of the amount of 135,142 Sw.frs. due in respect of Albania's previous membership of the ILO. The amount was payable over a period of 12 years in 11 equal instalments of 11,262 Sw.frs. and a final instalment of 11,260 Sw.frs., with the arrangement coming into force as from 1 January 1994, and with the first of the 12 annual instalments payable in 1994. The 1994, 1995 and 1996 instalments were paid in full. Albania paid part of the 1997 instalment in 1996. The balance of the 1997 instalment has yet to be paid.

During the same session, the Conference approved an arrangement for the settlement of 182,960 Sw.frs. due in respect Viet Nam's previous membership of the ILO, payable over a period of 15 years in 14 equal instalments of 12,190 Sw.frs. and a final instalment of 12,300 Sw.frs., beginning in 1993. Viet Nam has complied with the terms of its arrangement and has the right to vote.

(3) Other financial arrangements . Member States listed in the following table have financial arrangements for the settlement of arrears of contributions. Paraguay in addition owes 245,066 Sw.frs. in respect of contributions to the ILO and other League of Nations organizations for the prior period to 1939. The 45th (1961) Session of the International Labour Conference decided that these arrears should be cancelled, effective on the date that payment is made of all Paraguay's arrears of contributions due since the date when it rejoined the Organization.

	Session of Conference at which financial arrangement was approved
Cambodia	82nd (1995
Cape Verde	85th (1997)
Djibouti	85th (1997)
Dominican Republic	85th (1997)
Paraguay	78th (1991)
Poland	75th (1988)

(4) Member States subject to paragraph 4 of article 13 of the Constitution. The arrears of contributions of these member States equals or exceeds the amount of contributions due from them for the past two full years (1995-96). Each of these member States had therefore lost the right to vote, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4 of article 13 of the Constitution of the Organization.

(5) See footnote 2 in the covering paper (paragraph 12).
