Financial rules of FIR

Expanding the statute of FIR, the Congress decided on the following rules for membership fees.

1. Membership in FIR is also based upon an annual membership fee of the individual member organisation to be paid no later than June 30th of the current year. Membership fees provide for the operating expenses of FIR.

2. The rate of the FIR membership fee is determined by the proper statute of the participating organisation and its financial leeway, and is normally determined by 0.50 Euros per year and member.

   Standard FIR membership fee is 300 Euros per year.

3. The number of the delegates of the membership organisation to the congresses is determined by the amount of membership fees paid.

   Paying an annual membership fee of

   - at least the minimum of	150 Euros:	1 delegate,
   - more than	300 Euros:	2 delegates,
   - more than	1000 Euros:	3 delegates.

   Exceptions in individual cases may be applied for at the executive committee.

4. Travel expenses of the delegates are being paid for by their proper organisation.

   Upon application the executive committee may decide within its financial leeway to support an individual member organisation for their delegate to participate in a congress.

5. The statutory appropriation of the financial resources is verified annually in particular prior to the congresses, by a financial committee to be elected by the congress. Following each verification a report is submitted to the executive committee and the congress.
