The Forum’s finances
Income
The Forum is a not-for-profit organisation.
The annual contributions of industry members are set by the General
Assembly. Contributions for 2010 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 for luncheons and other 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.
