CPT: 15TH GENERAL REPORT Administrative and budgetary questions 36. During the period covered by this General Report, three seasoned staff members – Mr Jan MALINOWSKI (Head of Unit), Mr Cyrille ORIZET and Ms Bojana URUMOVA – left the CPT’s Secretariat to take up other duties; together they totalled twenty-two years of experience with the Committee. The CPT would like to express its appreciation of the valuable work they performed for the Committee. These departures prompted a general review of the unit structure within the CPT’s Secretariat; the current organigram is set out in Appendix 6. 37. The above-mentioned situation combined with certain other staff-related factors has obliged the CPT to scale back the programme of visits originally planned for 2005. At present, it is envisaged that a total of 150 visit days will be organised during that year, as compared to the 185 days for which budgetary appropriations were provided. Nevertheless, the full programme of 10 periodic visits for 2005, as announced in November 2004, will be carried out. Provided the staff situation now remains relatively stable and no time is lost in filling any vacancies, a visit programme of 185 visit days is feasible in 2006. And the CPT hopes finally to reach its long-standing target of 200 visit days per year in 2007; this volume of visit days will enable the Committee to ensure that each of the forty-six Parties to the Convention receives a periodic visit on average every four years, and at the same time leave sufficient scope for the different types of ad hoc visits required in the circumstances. However, for this to be possible, Unit 3 in the CPT’s Secretariat will have to be brought up to the same strength as the other two units, by the addition of a B4 post and a further A2/A3 post. The CPT is very grateful to the Secretary General for having included the B4 post in his budget proposals for 2006. 13
