Abstract :

At its 2025 session, the Council considered and approved the Biennial Budget of the Union for the period 2026-2027 under Council Resolution 1435. The approved budget incorporated a global reduction of CHF 6.008 million between the level of approved expenses and projected revenues. To present a balanced budget, this shortfall was reflected through the inclusion of a corresponding global reduction within the overall expense envelope. Following the discussion held at the CWG-FHR session in January 2026, the secretariat has initiated the implementation of the measures in this document.
The Coordination Committee (CoCo) has reinforced its oversight role through the introduction of more stringent budget monitoring and control measures, aimed at ensuring that expense is closely aligned with the approved budget and the required global reduction. This includes enhanced scrutiny of spending plans, strengthened monitoring of budget execution, and more frequent review of expense trends to ensure timely corrective actions where necessary.
Progress achieved to date, together with the measures being implemented, are presented in the following sections.
