Financial Statement
At its May 1997 meeting, the Joint
Steering Committee confirmed funding for financial year 1997/98 from the
partner countries of £813K and 305.6Mptas, equivalent to a total
budget of £2,171.2K. This sum was subsequently increased by the carry
forward of unspent revenue from the previous year, compensation for staff
effort shortfall and a one-off payment from the UK to reflect under indexation.
These additions increased the available revenue to a total of £2,333.1K.
Financial year 1997/98 was dominated
by the continuing uncertainty over the future of the two UK Royal Observatory
sites which finally culminated on 12 December 1997 with the announcement
that the Royal Greenwich Observatory was to close during the course of
the following calendar year. Not unsurprisingly, this had significant impact
on those parts of the ING's programme carried out at RGO to the extent
that the financial year closed with an overall underspend of £98K,
most of which was attributable to the enhancements programme. This sum
was carried forward to the following financial year.
For the financial year 1998/99,
the JSC approved funding of £703.3K and 339.5Mptas, which was equivalent
to £2,093.2K at the agreed exchange rate for the year of 242.0399
ptas/£. This sum was subsequently increased to £2,189.7K by
additional receipts from repayment work and compensation for staff effort
shortfall under operations and enhancements.
Both programmes suffered from
disruptions associated with the closure of the RGO and the enhancements
programme was further delayed by the UK ATC having difficulty recruiting
staff. These problems resulted in there being a significant underspend
on enhancements, although this money will be carried forward into the following
financial year.
Details of the allocations and
expenditure for ING joint UK/NL operations and enhancements programmes
for the years 1997/98 and 1998/99 are set out below.
