7 —
Lastly, the organisation of pensions or retired pay for the staff is authorised by Article 26,
as soon as the financial situation of the Institute permits. The new regulations lay down that
the necessary deductions for this purpose shall be made from officials' salaries.
(c) Financial Regulations.
The new regulations do not greatly differ from the provisions at present in force.
It should be noted that the budget must be prepared before May 15th of each year. It
must be submitted to the Budget Sub-Committee (Article 4), and the procedure laid down
in Article 5 must be followed.
Article 6 entitles the Chairman of the Directors’ Committee to authorise by written order
the adoption of urgent amendments proposed by the Director. Similarly, transfers within
a particular chapter of the budget may be authorised by the Chairman on the proposal of the
Director.
Article 7 maintains the power of the Directors’ Committee to approve expenditure up to
50 per cent of new grants in the year of their actual receipts. This right existed under the old
regulations, but the Governing Body decided at its meeting on July 29th, 1929, to limit the
amount in question to a maximum of 300,000 francs. This limit is abolished by the new
regulations.
Finally, it should be noted that, under Article 14, the employment of sums included in
the budget for “ Unforeseen expenditure ” is subject to the following conditions :
(a) The amount shall be limited to 5,000 francs for any one transaction and to a
total of 15,000 francs, the expenditure to be authorised by the Director ;
(b) For larger amounts the expenditure must be proposed by the Director and
authorised by the Directors’ Committee.
These are the essential amendments introduced in the new Financial Regulations. It
should be added that these regulations cannot come into force until they have received the
approval of the Council of the League of Nations, which was not required for the two other
regulations.
