Dear Hydrographer,
1. Following the guidance in References A, B and C, the Directing Committee has formulated the
proposed Budget for 2017. This is based on the proposed Work Programme for 2017, which, in turn, is
guided by the IHO five-year Work Plan and Budget approved by the XVIIIth International Hydrographic
Conference (References D and E). It also takes into account the progressive adjustments that are approved
annually by the Member States when each year’s Work Programme and Budget are approved.
2. In accordance with Reference A, the draft Budget was provided to the Members of the Finance
Committee in August for their review and comments (see Reference F). Three Member States (Chile,
Ecuador and France) responded and approved the draft Budget. France and Chile provided comments which
were addressed by the Directing Committee and did not require any subsequent adjustments.
3. This Circular Letter now invites Member States to consider and approve:
a. the proposed Budget for 2017 as shown in Annex A, and
b. the associated Work Programme as shown in Annex B.
Draft Budget for 2017
4. In addition to the proposed figures for 2017, the Budget tabled at Annex A shows the figures previously
approved in the IHO five-year Budget. Comparison figures indicating the difference between the approved
Budget for 2016 and that proposed for 2017 are also provided. Where there are differences between the 2016
and the 2017 Budget, supporting comments have been included.
5. The following notes are provided in support of the Budget being proposed for 2017:
Budget Adjustments
5.1 As in 2016, the Directing Committee has made a provision in the budget to supplement the Internal
Retirement Fund in order to ensure that there will be sufficient investment capital in the fund to support all
IHO pension obligations for retired and retiring staff. This takes in to account the agreed changes in the Staff
Regulations (see References G and H) where a pension of similar value to a pension payable under the
Monaco Caisse autonome des Retraites (CAR) system will be provided by the IHO in the case that the
commercially-based IHO personalized retirement plans are worth less than the CAR system at the time of
retirement.
5.2 The increased allocation to the Capacity Building Fund is dependent upon receiving additional income
as a consequence of the accession of new Member States that will be eligible to join the Organization under
the terms of the amended Convention on the IHO that will enters into force on 8 November 2016 (see
paragraph 5.4 below). The increased allocation is based on an assumed increase of 25 shares from newly
joined Member States.
Share Value
5.3 In 2016, the share value for membership contributions was increased by 1%, to 4 024.32€, as forecast in
the approved 5-year budget 2013-2017. Taking into account the current and forecast financial situation of the
Organization, the Directing Committee does not propose to apply the further 1% increase in the share value
indicated for 2017 in the approved 5-year budget 2013-2017. The share value for 2017 will therefore remain
at 4 024.32 Euros.
5.4 The budget being proposed for 2017 takes into account a net increase of shares compared to the number
of shares forecast in the five-year budget (768 shares rather than the forecast of 694 shares) and an increase in
shares compared to 2016 (there are 742 shares currently). This is due to changes in declared tonnages, the
accession of four new Member States not forecast in the five-year budget and the potential that several States
currently applying for membership of the IHO will be able to join in 2017 now that the amendments to the
Convention on the IHO will enter into force in November 2016 (see Reference I). The forecast contribution
income for 2017 is 3,090,678€. This is 269,868€ more than the figure in the approved five-year budget
forecast and 124,754€ more than in the budget approved for 2016.
5.5 Taking into account all forms of income, the total forecast income for 2017 is 3,359,678€. This is
301,381€ (9.85%) more than the figure in the five-year budget forecast.
Travel
5.6 The overseas travel component of the budget is based on the draft proposed IHO work programme for
2017 and takes into account savings anticipated from changes to the Staff Regulations that more closely align
IHO Secretariat travel reimbursement rules with the UN Common System.
Medical Cover for Staff and Retirees
5.7 The costs associated with medical cover for Staff and retirees are an estimate based on the latest figures
for 2016, with an increase due to the addition for a full year of one Member of Staff (Technical Standards
Support Officer –see Reference J).
IHO Funds
5.8 Internal Retirement Fund (IRF). As in 2016, a provision of 65k€ is being proposed for the IRF to
increase the capital required in the fund so as to meet its potential liabilities, including the additional
protection being provided to those locally recruited Members of Staff covered by commercially-based IHO
personalized retirement plans, as described in paragraph 5.1.
5.9 Renovation and Enhancement Fund. The assets in the Renovation and Enhancement Fund are sufficient
to meet all anticipated requirements. Accordingly, the Directing Committee considers that there is no
requirement to allocate additional monies to this fund in 2017.
2
5.10 Relocation Fund. A provision of 5k€ is proposed to maintain the fund at an appropriate level in
anticipation of staff changeover (at least one Director will change in 2017).
5.11 Conference Fund. The Directing Committee proposes to allocate the sum of 20k€ to the Conference
Fund, as forecast in the approved five-year budget.
5.12 ABLOS Fund. The ABLOS Fund supports the biennial ABLOS Conference. It is maintained
directly from the attendance fees levied for ABLOS Conferences. No allocation from the IHO budget was
forecast in the five-year budget and none is required in 2017.
5.13 Capacity Building Fund. Expenditure from the Capacity Building Fund will be made in accordance
with the Capacity Building Programme for 2017 prepared by the Capacity Building Sub Committee and
approved by the Inter Regional Coordination Committee. The Capacity Building programme for 2017 is
available on the IHO website at: Home > Capacity Building / Management / CB Work programme. As
described in paragraph 5.2, an additional allocation of 115k€ is anticipated, on the condition that new Member
States join the IHO during the year.
5.14 IBSC Fund. The IBSC was previously supported from the Special Projects Fund, with an allocation of
10k€ per annum approved in the five year work program. This allocation is now being shown against the
recently created IBSC Fund (see Reference K).
Draft Work Programme for 2017
6. The proposed IHO work programme for 2017 tabled at Annex B is arranged under the three IHO
programmes. For each element of the work programme, the most relevant strategic directions are shown. The
proposed work programme also contains, where possible, remarks identifying the key deliverables expected in
2017, together with any significant risks to delivery, where they have been identified by the relevant bodies.
Action Required
7. A two-thirds majority of IHO Member States is required in order to approve the proposed Budget for
2017. Responses are requested no later than 30 November 2016 so that any comments and/or changes
proposed by Member States can be taken into account by the Directing Committee when preparing the final
version of the documents which then will be implemented on 1 January 2017. A Voting Form is provided in
Annex C.
On behalf of the Directing Committee
Yours sincerely,
Robert WARD
President
