Committee on Budget, Finance and Administration  
  
 
 
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MEETINGS HELD ON 17 OCTOBER, 31 OCTOBER, 
8 NOVEMBER, 16 NOVEMBER  AND 18 NOVEMBER 2005 
 
I. DOHA DEVELOPMENT AGENDA GLOBAL TRUST FUND:  SETTING TARGET 
AMOUNT FOR 2006 
1. Pursuant to paragraph 40 of the Ministerial Declaration adopted at the Fourth 
Session of the WTO Ministerial Conference, the Committee recommends to the General 
Council that:  
a) The target level of resources in the Doha Development Agenda Global Trust 
Fund (DDAGTF) be set at CHF 24 million for 2006 ; 
 b) The purpose of the DDAGTF be in 2006 to finance the implementation of the 
WTO Technical Assistance and Training Plan, as authorised by the CTD ; 
 
c) Members be reminded that, according to the terms of reference of the DDAGTF 
approved by the General Council on 19-20 December 2001, actual contributions 
equivalent to 25 per cent of the target amount (i.e. CHF 6 million) should be 
received in the WTO bank account by 31 December 2005 ; 
  
d) In this context, Members be informed that the pledges already registered for 
2006 amount to CHF 6.1 million, enough to  cover the 25 per cent of the target 
amount ; 
 
e) Governments be urged to make financia l contributions in a manner which would 
preserve the global nature of the progra mme and facilitate the management and 
reporting with a view to greater tr ansparency (i.e. making un-earmarked 
contributions and limiting the degree of constraints in earmarked 
contributions) . 
 
II. ACCESSION OF SAUDI ARABIA 
2. The Committee recommends to the Genera l Council that a pro rata contribution 
to the 2005 budget amounting to CHF 68,961 be assessed on the Kingdom of Saudi 
Arabia.  This assessment, calculated as fr om 11 December 2005, is based on an annual 
contribution of 0.716 per cent, taking into  account the international trade figures 
(imports plus exports in goods, services and intellectual property rights) of Saudi Arabia 
for the years 1998-2002.  Furthermore, on the basis of the level of the Working Capital 
Fund of CHF 9,189,223, the Committee recomm ends to the General Council to assess an 
amount of CHF 65,795 on the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as an 
advance to the Fund.  WT/BFA/82

III. WTO MEMBERS IN ARREARS 
3. The Chairman reported that, as indicated in  document WT/BFA/77, paragraph 16, he 
had undertaken bi-lateral contacts with Me mbers in Category IV of the Administrative 
Measures, with a view to encouraging the paym ent of arrears.  The contacts had resulted in 
some payments, but there were still many Member s with outstanding, and in some cases, long 
outstanding contributions.  He said that he w ould continue his efforts in this regard and 
proposed that the Committee have a general discu ssion on this matter at its first meeting of 
2006 to assess whether the Administrative Measur es in their present form were adequate to 
address the problem of Members in arrears, or whether some further measures might be considered.  He recalled that WTO Financial Regulation 13,2 state that "In accordance with 
Article VII, 4 of the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization, 
Members have the obligation to contribute prom ptly to the WTO their share in the expenses 
of the WTO." 
4. He further indicated that, in the documen t which would be submitted to the General 
Council in December, he would send a message to the General Council from the Committee 
recalling that Members in any category of th e Administrative Measures are precluded from 
being nominated to preside over WTO bodies.  Th is was particularly important for both the 
upcoming Ministerial Conference as well as for the process of selecting chairpersons of WTO bodies for 2006. 
5. He added that he would be in contact with  the concerned parties with regard to a 
particular outstanding problem in order to ensu re that the necessary action was taken in good 
time prior to the forthcoming Ministerial Conference.   
IV. ITC BUDGET PROPOSALS FOR THE BIENNIUM 2006-2007 
6. The Committee recommends to the General Council that the budget for 2006 of 
the International Trade Centre UNCTAD/WTO be approved in the amount of 
CHF 34,602,500.  With miscellaneous income being estimated at CHF 235,000, the 
amount to be provided to the Centre in  the 2006 budget of the WTO represents 
CHF 17,183,750.  
7. The Committee recommends to the General Council that the budget for 2007 of 
the International Trade Centre UNCTAD/WTO be approved in the amount of 
CHF 33,766,900.  With miscellaneous income being estimated at CHF 235,000, the 
amount to be provided to the Centre in  the 2007 budget of the WTO represents 
CHF 16,765,950.  
V. WTO SECRETARIAT AND THE APPELLA TE BODY AND ITS SECRETARIAT 
 Budget estimates for 2006 
 
8. The Committee, having examined the Director-General's budget proposals for 
the biennium 2006-2007 (WT/BFA/SPEC/134)  and in formulating its recommendation 
to the General Council on the revised propos als, notes in particular, the following:  
a) that the Director-General will undertake a critical  review of the structure of the Secretariat 
in 2006 with the aim of streamlining the structure; 
b) that the restructuring plan to be implemented in the course of the biennium is expected to 
result in future savings but that, in the shor t term, financial resources are expected to be 
needed to bridge a liquidity gap;  WT/BFA/82 
 Page 3 
 
 
c) that, for that purpose, a specific allotment of CHF 500,000 will be included in the 2006 
budget, followed by an additional allo tment of CHF 500,000 in the 2007 budget; 
d) that the Committee will be regularly consulted on all aspects concerning the formulation 
and implementation of the restructuring plan; 
e) that the Committee will similarly be kept regul arly informed of developments concerning 
the formulation and implementation of the human resources reform programme; 
f) that for the training and media facility add itional human resources will not be requested; 
and 
g) that the consolidation of long-term positi ons funded from the temporary assistance budget 
marks the final stage in the implementati on of the new policy with respect to the 
management of temporary assistance and that the procedures that have thus been put in 
place ensure that there will be no recurrence of the problems that gave rise to the need to 
review practice in that regard.  WT/BFA/82

DRAFT RESOLUTION ON THE EXPENDITURE OF THE  
WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION IN 2007 AND THE WAYS  
AND MEANS TO MEET SUCH EXPENDITURE  
 
 
The General Council,  HAVING CONSIDERED,   The Estimates of expenditure of Secretaria t of the World Trade Organization for 2007

amounting to a total of CHF 180,352,150 as set forth in the schedules II and IV annexed to this Resolution.  RESOLVE that, 
 
1. The financing of the amount of CHF 180,352,150 with regard to the Secretariat of the 
WTO and the Appellate Body and its Secretar iat referred to above shall be as follows: 
 
(a) by contributions from Members, on the basis of a minimum contribution of 
0.015 per cent, in the amount of CHF 179,100,000, and 
 
(b) by miscellaneous income estima ted at CHF 1,252,150 (Schedule IV).

1 “…if it proves necessary due to unexpected changes in inflation rates and other elements (e.g. the 
levels of translation resources required to cope with a greater or lesser volume of documentation)  when the 
biennial budget was approved …, th e Committee would examine a Revision  to the second year  of the biennial 
budget prepared by the Director-Gener al, which could propose increases, decr eases or reallocations of resources 
for the second year, and make the appropriate recommendation to the General Council for approval. This 
flexibility might be particularly necessary in the first bi ennium.  This approach woul d also seem to provide the 
desired level of predictability while at the same time taking into account the considerations expressed by some Members...”  (WT/BFA/W/105/Rev.1). WT/BFA/82
