Annex 1
Terms of Reference for the Administration of the Trust Fund
for the Convention
on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
1. The Trust Fund for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (hereinafter referred to as the Trust Fund) shall be further continued for a period of three years (1 January 200331 December 2005) to provide financial support for the aims of the Convention.
2. Pursuant to the Financial Regulations and Rules of the United Nations, the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), with the approval of the Governing Council of UNEP and the Secretary-General of the United Nations, shall continue the Trust Fund for the administration of the Convention.
3. The Trust Fund shall cover the financial period of three calendar years which begins on 1 January 2003 and ends on 31 December 2005.
4. The appropriations of the Trust Fund for the first financial period shall be financed from:
a) the contributions made by the Parties by reference to the attached Table including contributions from any new Parties which are to be added to the Table;
b) contributions from States not Parties to the Convention, other governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations and other sources; and
c) any uncommitted appropriations from any of the financial periods prior to 1 January 2003.
5. The budget estimates covering the income and expenditure for each of the calendar years constituting the financial period to which they relate, prepared in US dollars, shall be submitted for approval to the regular meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention.
6. The estimates for each of the calendar years covered by a financial period shall be specified according to objects of expenditure and shall be accompanied by such information as may be required by, or on behalf of, the contributors and such further information as the Executive Director of UNEP may deem useful and advisable.
7. The proposed budget, including all the necessary information, shall be dispatched by the Secretariat to all Parties at least 90 days before the date fixed for the opening of the regular meeting of the Conference of the Parties.
8. The budget shall be adopted by a 3/4 majority of the Parties present and voting at the regular meeting.
9. In the event that the Executive Director of UNEP expects that there might be a shortfall in resources, over the year as a whole, he shall consult with the Secretary-General of the Convention, who shall seek the advice of the Standing Committee as to its priorities for expenditure.
10. The Secretary-General of the Convention is authorized, to the extent consistent with the Financial Regulations and Rules of the United Nations, to make transfers from one budget line to another up to a maximum of 20 per cent over and above the annual amount foreseen in the budget under any budget sub-component (e.g. 11, 12, 13, etc.) provided that such action does not negatively affect any high-priority items. When any such transfers are made, these shall be reported to the Standing Committee at its following meeting. Any budget adjustments on a specific budget sub-component over and above the 20 per cent flexibility mentioned above may be made only after they have been agreed by the Standing Committee. However, the total budget approved by the Parties for that financial period shall not be exceeded unless this is specifically sanctioned in writing by the Standing Committee.
11. Commitments against the resources of the Trust Fund may be made only if they are covered by the necessary income of the Convention.
12. All contributions shall be paid in any convertible currency. The amount of any payment, however, shall be at least equal to the amount payable in US dollars on the day the contribution is made. Contributions from States that become Parties after the beginning of the financial period should be made on a pro-rata basis for the balance of the financial period.
13. At the end of each calendar year of a financial period, the Executive Director of UNEP shall submit to the Parties the accounts for the year. He shall also submit, as soon as practicable, the audited accounts for the financial period.
14. The Secretary-General of the Convention shall provide the Standing Committee with an estimate of proposed expenditure over the coming calendar year simultaneously with, or as soon as possible after, distribution of the accounts and reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs.
15. The general procedures governing the operations of the Fund of UNEP and the Financial Regulations and Rules of the United Nations shall govern the financial operations of the Trust Fund for the Convention.
16. These Terms of Reference shall be effective for the financial period of 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2005 subject to amendments at the 13th meeting of the Conference of the Parties.
