General principle
Expenses related
Administration related
It has been agreed by the Council that the host medical association will cover all costs exceeding those of previous
Council Sessions in Divonne-les-Bains, France. The principle when the Council decided that we have the Council
meeting in other cities every two years, was that the cost should not be excessive from the cost that the WMA paid
in Divonne, which was constantly around 125,000 Euros at that time. Therefore the host NMA will be asked to pay
the excessive amount from the toal expense of pervious council meeting in Divonne, which is around 125,000
Euros. This amount has been adjusted upto 150,000 Euros in consideration of increased number of council
members and inflations.
