Organisational matters CPT secretariat 91. The composition of the CPT’s secretariat has remained quite stable over the last twelve months, as compared to the significant changes experienced during the two previous years. However, two of the administrators directly involved in on-site monitoring have recently taken extended leave for personal reasons and in the short term this will act as a brake on the development of the Committee’s visiting activities. Both of the officials concerned are due to return in the course of 2013. 92. The CPT welcomes the decision of the Committee of Ministers, taken in the context of the 2012-2013 Budget and on the proposal of the Secretary General, to reinforce the Committee’s secretariat by an additional B4 post. This goes some way to meeting the Committee’s long-standing request that each of the three operational divisions in its secretariat be provided with a B4 official; until recently, only one of the divisions had the benefit of such an official. The CPT hopes that in due course it will be possible to deploy the third B4 post to the Committee’s secretariat. It should be stressed once again that these B4 officials will be able to perform a range of support tasks, thereby ensuring that optimal use is made of the existing complement of administrators (which the CPT is not seeking to have increased). 39
