The Organisation’s member countries fund the budget for Part I programmes, accounting for about 53% of the consolidated budget. Their contributions are based on both a proportion that is shared equally and a scale proportional to the relative size of their economies.
Part II budgets include programmes of interest to a limited number of members or relating to special sectors of activity not covered by Part I. Part II programmes are funded according to a scale of contributions or other agreements among the participating countries.
The budget for 2013 is EUR 354 million.
