Council meeting - Dublin, Ireland, September 2002

Hon. Treasurer Report

EURACT Council meeting
September 25-28, 2002
Dublin, Ireland

It seems that council members has to put some more energy to their duties as national financial reporters. 17 out of 30 countries have reported information on members and fees on time. The result of this situation is the incomplete budget. It would be very helpful if we managed to collect the appropriate information which is needed to make plans.

Concerning the income we can notice the increasing membership fees of individuals and the decreasing fees of organizations; this may address us to a scepticism and probably to changes in terms of communication and relationships to organizations. A high surplus is still existing; it is important to find out new fields to invest money.

Concerning the expenses it seems that, although there is an increase of all meeting expenses as a result of the enlargement of the council and the EB, we are not so effective in spending money. It is remarkable that there is a decrease of the administrative expenses.

Concerning potential fields of investing money it could be reported the funding 1) of more courses –in terms of trainers' expenses and trainees as well , 2) of the development of the website, 3) of more publications.
