Scale of Contributions The Conference resolves 1. That, with one exception, contributions for the second financial year should be in accordance with the scale set up by the First Session of the Conference, each individual contribution as set out in that scale being increased by 50 per cent, to correspond with the extension of the financial year ; 2. That, in view of the special circumstances prevailing in India, that country's contribution should be reduced from a figure representing 4-67 per cent, of the budget to a figure representing 4*25 per cent, as in the first financial year ; 3. That it be clearly understood that the scale of contributions for the second financial year is entirely without prejudice to the scale to be fixed for the third financial year, which should be based on a general revision in the light of proposals under consideration by the United Nations ; and 4. That when the United Nations' new scale of contributions is available it will be examined by the Executive Committee acting as the Committee on Financial Control, with the object of submitting proposals for revision of the FAO scale to the next regular session of the Conference. Resolution on the Budget The Conference resolves 1. That the budget of the Organization for the second financial year, extending from 1 July, 1946, to 31 December, 1947, be the sum of 7,500,000 U.S. dollars to be allocated for contributions, together with any other receipts under Regulation X of Part I of the Financial Regulations ; 2. That the budget be allocated for contributions in accordance with the scale attached to this resolution and that those contributions shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 of Regulation VIII of Part I of the Financial Regulations ; 3. That the Director-General be authorized to incur in the second financial year expenditures in accordance with the estimates attached to this resolution.
