Annual Operating Costs for the Baseline Organization

The categories are largely taken from the OPCW budget, and most of the estimates are based on OPCW figures and discussions with OPCW officials, with modifications to fit the BWC organization, as described in the endnotes. 12 A number of administrative services could be outsourced, but the overall savings would not be great because the proportion of the annual budget apportioned to these activities is small.
