Dear Hydrographer,
1. Following the guidance in References A, B and C, the Directing Committee has formulated the
proposed Budget for 2016. This is based on the proposed Work Programme for 2016, 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 B, 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 (Australia,
France and Tunisia) approved the draft Budget. The USA provided substantive comments requiring
additional information. These comments related mainly to the identification of certain supporting
references and an inference by the USA that a significant cash balance was available in the accounts for
redistribution to Member States. The Directing Committee has provided the USA with clarifying
information, in particular to show that a significant cash balance is not available for redistribution.
3. This Circular Letter now invites Member States to consider and approve:
a. the proposed Budget for 2016 as shown in Annex A, and
b. the associated Work Programme as shown in Annex B.
4. In addition to the proposed figures for 2016, the Budget tabled at Annex A shows the figures
previously approved in the IHO five-year Budget. In addition, comparison figures indicating the
difference between the approved Budget for 2015 and that proposed for 2016 is provided. Where there
are differences between the 2015 and the 2016 Budget, supporting comments have been provided.
5. Member States should take particular note of the following remarks in relation to the proposed
Budget for 2016:
Share Value
5.1. The share value for membership contributions that was forecast to increase by 1% (39.84€
per share) in the approved five-year Budget 2013-2017 has been incorporated. The proposed
share value for 2016 is 4 024.32€. This will be the first increase in the share value since
2005.
5.2. The Budget being proposed for 2016 takes into account a net increase of shares compared to
the number of shares forecast in the five-year Budget (737 shares rather than the forecast of
694 shares) and an increase in shares compared to 2015 (there were 715 shares in 2015).
This is due to changes in declared tonnages, and the addition of three new Member States not
forecast in the five-year Budget. The forecast contribution income for 2016 is 2,965,924€.
This is 173,043€ more than the figure approved in the five-year Budget forecast and
117,021€ more than the approved Budget for 2015.
5.3. Taking into account all forms of income, the total forecast income for 2016 is 3,206,924€.
This is 182,467€ (6%) more than the figure forecast in the five-year Budget.
Travel
5.4. The overseas travel component of the Budget has been maintained at the same level as 2015.
This has been achieved by the Directing Committee continuing its policy of not attending all
intergovernmental and other international meetings in which the IHB has participated in the
past. In some cases, the Member States where international meetings are taking place will be
asked to represent the IHO. In addition, some savings are anticipated from proposed changes
to the Staff Regulations that more closely align IHB travel reimbursement rules with the UN
Common System.
Medical Cover for Staff and Retirees
5.5. The costs associated with medical cover for Staff and retirees are an estimate based on the
latest figures for 2015.
Contributions to Retirement Plans
5.6. 30k€ has been included in the total value of the Chapter on personnel costs in anticipation of
proposed changes to the Staff Regulations that will more closely align the pension rights of
Locally Recruited IHB staff with the Monaco Civil Service and will also include all salary
components in the pensionable salary. This will result in an increase in the employer
contribution paid by the IHO through the Chapter on personnel costs, as well as an increase
in the personal contribution made by the relevant Members of Staff.
Provision for a Technical Standards Support Officer
5.7. The Chapter on personnel costs includes 80k€ to enable the recruitment on a permanent basis
of a Technical Standards Support Officer. 80k€ represents the total cost (salary, allowances,
2
medical cover, and pension) for this position. The establishment of this position has been
consistently supported by the Hydrographic Services and Standards Committee (HSSC) and
acknowledged by Member States at the 5th Extraordinary International Hydrographic
Conference in October 2014 (see Reference G). In accordance with Reference H, and as part
of the submission of the Budget for 2016, the Directing Committee is seeking Member
States’ approval to establish this urgently required position.
IHO Funds
5.8. Internal Retirement Fund (IRF). As indicated in paragraphs 13 to 17 of the Finance Report
for 2014 (see Reference I), the Directing Committee has realized that the IHO has provided a
long-standing option for some Locally Recruited Staff to choose a pension from their
commercial personalized retirement plan contract or, in the case that the pension from the
personalized retirement plan is worth less than the value of a similar pension under the
Monaco Caisse autonome des retraites (CAR) system at the time of retirement, they may opt
to allocate the capital in their personalized retirement plan to the IHO and draw a pension at
the CAR rate from the IHO instead. In the current era of extremely low investment rates, this
has placed an increased financial liability on the IHO since it is, in effect, underwriting any
failure of the commercially-based personalized retirement plans. Accordingly, a provision of
65k€ is being proposed for the IRF to increase the capital required in the Fund to meet its
potential liabilities. This figure also anticipates consequential changes to the Staff
Regulations that aim to ensure that the retirement plans of Locally Recruited Staff are not
inferior to those of the Monaco Civil Service by underwriting the pensions of all relevant
Locally Recruited Staff in addition to those currently affected.
5.9. Renovation and Enhancement Fund, and Relocation Fund. The assets in the Renovation and
Enhancement Fund, and the Relocation Fund are sufficient to meet all anticipated
requirements. Accordingly, the Directing Committee considers that there is no requirement
to allocate additional monies to either of these Funds in 2016.
5.10. Conference Fund. The Directing Committee proposes to allocate the sum of 20k€ to the
Conference Fund, as forecast in the approved five-year Budget, in accordance with the
schedule of conferences.
5.11. 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 2016.
5.12. Capacity Building Fund. Expenditure from the Capacity Building Fund will be in accordance
with the Capacity Building Work Programme for 2016 that will be promulgated shortly
together with the report of the 13th meeting of the Capacity Building Sub-Committee.
5.13. Presentation Library Fund and Special Projects Fund. Expenditures from the Presentation
Library and Special Projects Funds will be in accordance with the work plan of the HSSC to
be considered and approved at the 7th meeting of the Committee in November 2015.
Spending from these funds is expected to be used primarily for the on-going high priority
development of the S-100 series of standards and related activities.
3
6. A two-thirds majority of IHO Member States is required to approve the proposed Budget for 2016.
Responses are requested no later than 30 November 2015 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 2016. A Voting Form is
provided in Annex C.
On behalf of the Directing Committee
Yours sincerely,
