REPORT ON EXTRA- BUDGETARY FUNDS FOR 1999  
(WT/BFA/W/44) 
The attached document was modified after its distribution because it contained personal details of 
Members of Staff, Consultants and Temporary Employees.  The WTO has a legal obligation to 
protect the privacy of its staff and the disclosure of "personnel information" such as staff members' 
salaries and benefits, private addresses or personal phone numbers is expressly prohibited under the 
WTO Staff Regulations and Rules. 
The document has thus been edited to replace people's names with letters of the alphabet.  The table 
below shows where the changes have been made:   
Page Number  Reference  Comments  
102 V. Miscellaneous (6) Replaced the name of the 
person with the letter A  
103 V. Miscellaneous (7) Replaced the name of the 
person with the letter B

1  The code associated with each extra -budgetary fund is used in the accounting database to identify the 
fund.  The life span of funds varies considerably, with some funds lasting several years whilst others remain 
active only a few months.  This explains the frequent disruptions in the sequence of code numbers.  WT/BFA/W/44

finance the development of the database.  The project is articulated around two phases:  
(a) Phase 1 concerns the establishment of the Consolidated Tariff Schedule Database 
(CTS);  
(b) Phase 2 consists of incorporating the bound conc essions of Members in the CTS into 
the Integrated Data Base (IDB).  
27. Work on the project started in April and will be completed in 2000.  Following the creation of 
the database infrastructure (hardware and software), work during phase 1 consisted mainly of 
reformatting Members’ concessions available on various media into the database structure developed 
by the Secretariat; transposing the nomenclatures to the Harmonised System 96; where applicable, 
introducing the rectifications and merging the concessions; m atching and expanding the schedule to 
the national customs tariff detail, if that detail was specified in the schedule; and finally, checking the 
information and preparing draft consolidated tariff schedules ready for approval by Members.  Phase 
1 will cov er 107 developing WTO Members and should be completed by mid 2000.  
28. Work on phase 2 has already started, with the definition of some of the parameters of the 
linkage of the CTS database files and the IDB database files.  Progress on this front will depend o n 
the completion of phase 1, as the approval of its CTS by each Member concerned is a prerequisite.

funding came out of the Norway trust fund TNO02.  
United Kingdom for Monitoring & Evaluating WTO Technical Co -operation – TUK03  
 
33. A consultant has been hired for a year to develop an evaluation system of WTO technical co-
operation activities in line with international best practise.  The main tasks to be performed are to 
develop a policy, in consultation with the Secretariat and the Committee on Trade & Development, on 
monitoring and evaluation;  establish a system in t he Technical Co -operation Division to implement 
the policy and adapt working practises accordingly;  analyse management information produced by 
the system and recommend measures to enhance effectiveness of future technical co -operation 
activities, and revi ew the policy accordingly.  It is foreseen that the project be completed by the end of 
August 2000.  
Netherlands -Norway Fund on IT for Development – ENN01  
 
34. Meetings with World Bank were held to co -ordinate two types of activities:  
Use of the WB Global Dista nce Network for teleconference on WTO notification

Further development of the WTO -World Bank joint web site "Trade and Development 
Centre",  including planning for on -line forums for developing country trade officials.  
 
35. Computer -based training tools developed in 1999 were:  
Interactive CD -ROM training on how to access WTO information through the Internet and on 
CD-ROM. Copies have been distribu ted to all 70 WTO Reference Centres and have been 
distributed to participants in WTO technical co -operation seminars for developing countries.  
 
Interactive Guide to WTO and Developing countries. This was the second edition of this 
popular guide. Users of t he WTO Internet site have downloaded over 20,000 copies of the 
guide over the past 18 months. Copies have been provided to WTO Reference Centres and to 
trade ministries of developing countries on diskette and on CD -ROM.  
 
WTO web site on CD -ROM. This enabl es trade officials in developing countries to access 
most of the content of the WTO web site on a CD -ROM and thus supplements their use of the 
Internet.  
 
CD-ROM version of the WTO training package developed by the Technical Co -operation 
Division.  
 
CD-ROM  with all sessions of the High -Level symposia on trade and development, trade and 
environment. All sessions available through a PC in English, French and Spanish.  
 
36. The Seminar on Notification obligations of member countries was prepared for about 30 trade 
officials from WTO Reference Centres, most from least -developed countries. It was part of an effort 
which also included the use of teleconferencing to provide trade officials in African capitals with the 
same information. The event was also used to perform  an evaluation of WTO Reference Centres, WT/BFA/W/44  
Page 14 
 
 
 which was extremely useful in terms of identifying problems which need to be resolved and some of 
the measures needed to provide future support for the Centres.  
Programme Support Fund – EPSF1  
 
37. The Programme Support  Fund was established by a decision of the General Council of 9 -11 
and 18 December 1998 to collect the overhead fees (13%) charged on trust funds expenses.  The 
purpose of the PSF is to augment resources in support areas where a demonstrable relationship e xists 
between the supporting activity concerned and the trust fund activity which generated the revenue.  In 
1999, the PSF received fees of CHF 872,791 from the trust funds managed by the WTO.  
38. The fund was used in 1999 to finance support costs relating to the purchase of IT equipment 
used by the Technical Co -operation Division for its missions, and for the filing of its documentation.  
It also financed the employment of support staff in the Development Division and in the 
administrative unit established in ITC to implement the Integrated Framework for LDCs, as well as 
consultants for several projects (evaluation of technical assistance activities, legal research on dispute 
settlement cases, paper on tariff negotiations and renegotiations in GATT/WTO agreemen ts, 
translation of the manual on technical co -operation into French and Spanish).  
In the run -up to the 3rd WTO Ministerial Conference, it was decided to use the PSF with the greatest 
flexibility in order to respond to requests for technical assistance from  developing countries.  As a 
result, the PSF also financed one regional seminar on negotiating techniques in New York; 5 technical 
missions to Vanuatu (TRIPs), Fiji (TRIPs), Cape Verde (accession), Papua New Guinea (trade 
legislation) and Zambia (Integrate d Framework round table); the participation of WTO representatives 
in two conferences on trade remedies (Egypt) and civil aviation (Côte d’Ivoire); and the visit of a 
delegate from Vanuatu and from Gambia to the WTO headquarters.  
 
1996 Surplus – Actuarial Study – ES961  
 
39. The balance available in this fund at the end of 1998 was used in 1999 to pay the final part of 
the actuarial studies conducted in connection with the establishment of the WTO pension fund, 
according to the specifications for the fund.  No b alance is left at the end of 1999.  
1996 Surplus – Technical Assistance Programme – ES962  
 
40. The Special Technical Assistance  Programme financed from the 1996 Surplus was used to 
finance the participation of WTO experts to a number of national and regional ac tivities. A Geneva -
held workshop on Reference Centres follow -up for 17 countries, combined with a Notification 
Requirements seminar open to WTO members was also organised.  
1996 Surplus – Legal Expert Services – ES963  
 
41. WTO Members have allocated CHF 250,000  of the 1996 Surplus to provide additional legal 
advice and assistance in respect of dispute settlement to developing country Members, as foreseen in 
paragraph 2 of Article 27 of the DSU.  In 1999, this fund was used to provide legal advice to some of 
the Caribbean countries involved in the Banana dispute (DS27);  and to pay for the presence in the 
Technical Co -operation Division of two legal experts, for four days a month each, to advise 
developing countries on dispute settlement matters as foreseen in Art icle 27.2 of the DSU.  
42. The Technical Co -operation Division also used this fund to finance the provision of legal 
advice to Namibia on the implementation of the WTO agreements, and to update the roster of 
panellists according to the provisions of Article 8.4  of the DSU.  WT/BFA/W/44

BALANCE          (627,889.22)   
     
(1) The government of Austria made a contribution of CHF 10,700 which was received on 5 January 2000.  
(2) The European Commission has pledged approximately CHF 420,000 to cover the traveling costs of ACP countries delegates to Seattle.  
As the corresponding invoice will only be issued by the WTO Secretariat in 2000, the contribution was not yet received by 31 December 
1999.  
(3) The government of Greece has promised a contr ibution of CHF 10,000 to this fund, but this contribution was not yet received at the time 
of closing the 1999 accounts.  
(4) UNCTAD made a contribution of USD 50,000 to finance the participation of Geneva -based delegates.  This contribution will 
consequen tly be managed separately, and the WTO will report on it separately.  It is included here for the sake of completeness.  
(5) This advance will be liquidated when closing the accounts of the Ministerial Conference.  No deficit is expected as the actua l expe nses 
will be significantly lower than the advance.  
(6) As the Ministerial Conference took place late in 1999, and involves some significant sharing of the costs between the host go vernment 
and the WTO, the bookkeeping was not be completed before the accou nting year end for 1999.  A final statement of account will be 
presented in 2000 once the accounts of the Ministerial Conference will be closed.  
(7) No overhead fees have been charged to fund TMI03 at the end of 1999 as the final accounts of the Ministeri al Conference were not yet 
available.  The final financial statement for fund TMI03 will include such fees.  WT/BFA/ W/44

(1) This activity was supposed to be co -financed by the New Zealand trust fund TNZ02 and the United 
Kingdom trust fund T0037.  As the transfer of the second instalment of the UK contribution o nly 
occurred on 20 March 2000, the sharing of the cost between the two funds could not be organised prior 
to the closure of the 1999 accounts.  A transfer from fund T0037 to fund TNZ02 of CHF 104,086.27 
has been made in April 2000 and brought the balance i n fund TNZ02 back to zero.  WT/BFA/ W/44
