The report comprises Part 1 in separate English and French versions together with Part 2 – Finances in a bilingual English/French version. A Spanish version of Part 1 will be posted on the IHO website as soon as possible. Spanish-speaking Member States will be informed as soon as it is available. 2. The Finance Report for 2017 and its recommendations is contained in Part 2 of the Annual Report. The publication of the IHO Annual Report for 2017 was therefore purposely withheld until Part 2 was considered and approved by Council Members (Reference D) following the adoption of a new resolution on the procedure for considering the annual financial statement (See Reference C). 3.
