El presupuesto total del Consejo de Europa para 2017 fue de 454 586 500 euros.

Since 2012 the Council of Europe has adopted a biennial Programme and Budget.
 

The Council of Europe remains dedicated to advancing democracy, human rights and the rule of law across our continent. Our Programme and Budget for 2016-2017 will continue to be organised around these three pillars. [...] We now benefit from having six major contributors, including Turkey, and we are greatly strengthened by our close ties with our key international partner, the European Union. Despite the many challenges we face, through partnership, focus and commitment we will continue striving for European stability grounded in liberty and law.

Thorbjørn Jagland
Secretary General
 

Where does the money come from?

The Budget is mainly funded by member States' contributions. National contributions are based on a formula which takes into account population and Gross Domestic Product. The major contributors (France, Germany, Italy, Russian Federation, Turkey and United Kingdom) all pay the same rate for the ordinary budget, providing nearly 65% of the total.
States may also make voluntary contributions to support the Council of Europe's programme of work.
Joint programmes with the European Union allow the Organisation to enhance its impact and its operational capacity.
 

What is the money used for?

The money is used to implement the Programme, which is structured around three thematic pillars: Human Rights (including the European Court of Human Rights), Rule of Law and Democracy, with an additional support pillar covering governing bodies, general services and other common expenditure lines. The Programme and Budget for 2016-2014 comprises 29 operational programmes, covering the intergovernmental sector, the institutions, the partial agreements and the independent mechanisms.
 

How is the programme and budget adopted?

The Programme and Budget is proposed by the Secretary General and approved by the Committee of Ministers. The programme is approved for two years (with a second year budget on a provisional basis).
