The Executive Committee accepted the offer of the Government of Canada to cover any additional costs of locating and operating the Secretariat in Canada relative to costs associated with UNEP Headquarters.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/1/2, para. 14).
The Multilateral Fund shall cover Secretariat costs, based on regular budgets submitted to the Executive Committee for decision.
The Executive Committee decided that the Fund budget should be in two separate parts: the administrative budget, consisting of the budget of the Fund Secretariat, and the budget for operational activities.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/3/18/Rev.1, para. 21).
The Chief Officer should have flexibility to switch expenditures between budget lines within each component (two-figure code) but not between components. If the Chief Officer faced a situation in which he considered it desirable to switch funds between components, he could do so up to a limit of 20 per cent of the component budget allocation, but for greater amounts he should seek the approval of the Executive Committee.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/2/3 Appendix IV of Decision II/8, para. 17).
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/3/18/Rev.1, para. 30).
The Eighteenth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided that in the event that the resources allocated under any one budget component were not fully expended, the remaining resources should be used for Secretariat staff training programmes and that these should not be restricted to technical training. In future budgets, an explicit provision for staff training should be made.
