The Forum is a not-for-profit organisation. The annual contributions of industry members are set by the General Assembly. Contributions for 2009 are €8,000 per member. Financial industry representatives who are not members of the Forum may attend on a pay-per-meeting basis subject to the availability of places and on a first come/first served basis. This fee is set at €200 (also see Non-Members Policy).

Expenditures

Members’ contributions cover the organisation of the Forum’s activities, including the costs of lunch and dinner events, secretariat fees, the website, as well as printing brochures and other materials for publication, and travel (mainly for events in Strasbourg). Office-holders and members of Forum committees, whether from parliament or industry, make their input on a voluntary basis and receive no payment.
