| SPR. 165 PP-98 | 5 Država članica pri izbiri svojega prispevnega razreda tega ne sme zmanjšati za več kot 15 odstotkov števila enot, ki jih je izbrala za obdobje pred zmanjšanjem, in ga zaokroži navzdol na najbližje število enot na lestvici, za prispevke treh ali več enot ali za več kot en prispevni razred za prispevke pod tremi enotami. Svet ji sporoči način, kako se bo prispevek postopno zmanjševal v obdobju med Konferencama pooblaščenih predstavnikov. Vendar pa lahko v izjemnih primerih, kot so naravne nesreče, ki zahtevajo mednarodne programe pomoči, Konferenca pooblaščenih predstavnikov odobri večje zmanjšanje števila prispevnih enot, če zanj zaprosi država članica, ki ugotovi, da ne more več plačevati prispevkov po razredu, ki ga je izbrala na začetku. |
