Resolution on the participation of retirees in the management committees of the
organizations’ health insurance schemes

The forty-first session of the FAFICS Council meeting in 2012:

1. Noting that the number of retirees participating in and paying contributions to the
Organizations’ health insurance schemes had risen to approximately one third of the
number of participants in those insurance schemes;

2. Aware that the presence and participation of retirees in the management of the
Organizations’ health insurance schemes varied ; these ranged from instances in which
retirees were formally present as voting members to situations in which retirees were
neither present nor voting;

3. Invites member associations in locations where health insurance schemes are also
located to make every effort to ensure that the formal participation of fetirees in the
committees of management of the scheme are enshrined in the rules and procedures of
the scheme itself, where this is not already the case.

4. Pending the adoption of such measures, requests member associations to make
contact directly with the relevant Organization administrations and, as appropriate, the
staff associations, to ensure that representatives of retirees are enabled both to be
present and to make interventions in the health insurance management committees on
matters pertaining especially to retiree participants in the respective insurances.
