Thus a total of Sw F 24,335,689 was due on 30 September 1986 compared with amounts of Sw F 21,880,468 on 30 September 1985, Sw F 20,584,174 on 30 September 1984 and Sw F 18,064,419 on 30 September Contributions due from contracting parties as at 30 September 1986 are shown in the attached statement. 3.

Furthermore, following the Budget Committee's instructions, a reminder letter was sent in April 1986 to the contracting parties which had contributions due at this date to draw their attention to the treasury difficulties which could arise from such a situation. In comparison with previous year, the collection situation has not improved since the dispatch of this letter, as can be seen from the following table, and the present situation is still unsatisfactory. However, a payment of some Sw F 9,150,000 has been announced and it is therefore anticipated that the secretariat will cover its financial needs up to the end of the year. This letter was sent to 63 contracting parties and associated governments. As at 1 October 1986, 36 responded, of which 34 with payments and 27 did not react
