Situation of Adhering Organizations: ACTIVE INACTIVE TOTAL 93 (88 in 2007) (83 in 2006) (77 in 2005) (79 in 2004) 26 (30 in 2007) (35 in 2006) (40 in 2005) (37 in 2004) 119 (118 in 2007) (118 in 2006) (117 in 2005) (116 in 2004) IUGS expenditures often do not reflect the real costs. Our annual contribution of USD 23,000 to EPISODES for editing, lay-out, printing and distribution, is relatively small in comparison with the actual costs incurred by the Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources which hosts the Journal. The same holds true for the costs related to IUGS meetings, which are covered, at least in part, by the countries hosting such meetings and for a very substantial part by the parent organisations of the Bureau members (President, Secretary-General and Treasurer and their supporting staff) which cover salary and all their travel costs. These forms of support save IUGS more than USD 100,000 per year. A comparable amount is further saved by IUGS having been given the continuous generous contribution of the Norwegian government to fully financially support the IUGS Permanent Secretariat in Trondheim. IUGS is extremely grateful to the Chinese, the Norwegian, the Canadian and the Italian governments for this generous support that enables the Union to invest significantly more in science development than would be otherwise possible. 13
