answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>I have not raised the issue of financial contributions to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe with my Russian counterpart. The amount each participating State pays to the organisation is calculated based on a scale of assessment. Efforts to amend that scale are ongoing. The UK argues strongly in these discussions that a new scale should be based on the capacity to pay, applying the UN methodology based on Gross National Income (GNI). Adoption of this new scale would result in increased contributions from a number of countries including Russia.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 19/07/2017 13:32:26 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
