Hon. Treasurer Report

EURACT Council meeting
October 10–12, 2001
Barcelona, Spain

It is supposed that Council members focused their attention and energy to the Core Content Conference putting to the corner for a moment their duties as national financial reporter. As a result of this a lot of information is missing on membership fees and member list. It is expected that till the end of the year the appropriate information will be collected so the real picture of the budget be completed.

Concerning the expenses there is an increase of the council meetings and EB meetings expenses since of the enlargement of both council and EB. The local organiser faces serious problems in finding funding for the council meetings, so a part of it is covering by the Euract budget. A small increase of bank costs is appeared cause of increase number of transfers. It is important to comment on reimbursement of participants at Bled and Riom courses which proved very successful and productive initiative. Another important 'invest' of money was the sponsorship of invited experts to the Barcelona Conference as well as the commitment to support the Maastricht (High Professional Development Day).

Concerning the income we have to pay much attention to the increasing surplus that appeared year after year. This means that we must reflect and plan projects and activities to spend money.
