• Report on the resources used from the Treasury Fund and the status of that fund

(CP/CAAP-4253/26). The CAAP decided to inform the Permanent Council about the current status of the Fund and to urge member states that have not yet paid their quotas or submitted a payment plan to the General Secretariat to do so at the earliest opportunity. It also decided to warn of the financial risks that could materialize in the absence of new payments or payment commitments in the coming months.- 2At present, 19 member states have unpaid contributions due to the Regular Fund, and the General Secretariat reported that if the current cash flow situation continued, the need to draw on the Treasury Fund through an internal loan would come about in approximately two months’ time.

Please accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
