Proračun

Proračun Vijeća Europe za 2020. godine je €496M.

Since 2012 the Council of Europe has adopted a biennial Programme and Budget.
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 and United Kingdom) all pay the same rate for the ordinary budget.
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, support services and other common expenditure lines.
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).

Results Based Budgeting has been chosen as a programming and budgeting methodology to measure organisational performance and increase accountability.
