Comité de Asuntos Presupuestarios, Financieros y
Administrativos
PROYECTO DE PRESUPUESTO REVISADO PARA 2002
1. En respuesta a las diversas sugerencias formuladas por miembros del Comité de Asuntos
Presupuestarios, Financieros y Administrativos en relación con el proyecto de presupuesto para el
año 2002 a la luz de los resultados de la Conferencia Ministerial de Doha, el Director General
presenta a continuación su propuesta revisada:
- Teniendo en cuenta las posibilidades de redistribución del personal, el número de
nuevos puestos solicitados se reduce de 15 a 8.
- El recurso intensivo a colaboradores externos en relación con la traducción permitiría
una reducción en la petición original manteniendo al mismo tiempo el nivel de
servicios esperado por los Miembros.
- El mejoramiento del sistema de interpretación se aplazará, en el entendimiento de
que, si se produjera un problema técnico importante en relación con el material, serecurriría al Fondo de Operaciones.
- Se han reevaluado y revisado a la baja los costos del Simposio de las ONG y de la
Semana en Ginebra.
- Se han incluido otras diversas reducciones en relación con la ofimática, los
suministros de agua, electricidad y calefacción, el franqueo, el equipo permanente, lasactividades de información pública, etc.
2. Las reducciones mencionadas supra  se cifran en un total de FS 2.324.000 y dan lugar a un
proyecto de presupuesto general para 2002 por un importe de FS 143.129.850.
3. Los cuadros resumidos
1 que se adjuntan reflejan las reducciones mencionadas supra .
También se adjunta una Escala de Contribuciones para 2002 revisada, sobre la base de una estimación
revisada de los Ingresos Diversos de un importe de FS 1.029.850.
4. En opinión del Director General, este nivel de recursos, junto con el objetivo de 15 millones
de FS para el Fondo Fiduciario del Programa de Doha para el Desarrollo permitirá a la OMC cumplir
las obligaciones dimanantes de la Declaración de Doha.
