EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR THE REVISED BUDGET FOR 2001 AND THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 2002 FOR THE TRUST FUND FOR THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL
General: All figures are in United States dollars ($).
The inflation rate is assumed to be 5 per cent.
Budget line |
Comment |
1101-1105 |
The classification of posts of the Secretariat in the United Nations Environment Programme is governed by the regulations of the United Nations. The meetings of the Parties sanction the number and type of posts, and make financial provision for posts as classified when they make budget decisions. 1101 to 1104 - Standard professional salary costs applicable to the Nairobi duty station have been used for the revised 2001 budget and the proposed 2002 budget. Unspent commitments normally revert to the Trust Fund. 1102 - The post of Deputy Executive Secretary has been classified at the D1 level. Financial provision is hereby requested. |
1106 |
The 3-year Junior Professional Officer (JPO) funding from the Government of the Netherlands for the post of Programme Officer (Data Systems), which was approved by the Eighth Meeting of the Parties, will end on 12 July 2001. As the Secretariat continues to require the services of an officer to analyse data on ozone depleting substances and manage the computer and publication requirements of the Secretariat, this post will be submitted to UNEP for regularisation, i.e., classification of the post and subsequent announcement of the vacancy. Funding for July to December 2001 was approved by the Eleventh Meeting of the Parties. Financial provision for 2002 is requested from the Twelfth Meeting of the Parties. |
1201 |
Funds under this line can be transferred to line 1100 to create short-term professional posts if necessary. |
1301 to 1307 & 1320 |
An increase of 5 per cent has been applied to these general-service posts for 2001 and 2002. |
1321-1326 |
Necessary funds may be transferred from the conference-servicing budget lines (1321-1326) should such services be required to be rendered either by individual consultancies or corporate contracts. The total cost of organizing meetings should not, however, exceed the amounts agreed in this budget. The Conference Services Division has increased its costs by 30% effective 2000. This is due to the fact that no increase in costs had been applied since 1996. This increase is now being applied to lines 1321 and 1322 for the 2001 and 2002 budgets. No increase has been requested for lines 1323 - 1326. Although the above increase was not foreseen when the 2000 budget was approved by the Parties at the Eleventh Meeting of the Parties, no increase in these lines (1321 - 1326) is being requested for 2000. The current conference-servicing costs have been based on the following assumptions:
1326: One informal consultation meeting a year, in English only, is assumed to take place in Nairobi. |
1601 |
The Secretariat supports the networking activities of the Energy and Ozonaction Unit by attending some of its meetings. An increase in funding to cover 1 additional travel each for the Executive Secretary, Deputy Executive Secretary, Senior Scientific Affairs Officer and Senior Legal Officer is requested. |
3301 |
Based on the expenditure level in 1999 and the expected level in 2000, the 2001 budget is being reduced to cover only 100 travels at an average cost of $4,500 per travel - a reduction of $115,770. Based on decision XI/17 and considering that the Assessment Panels have to update their reports in 2002, it is assumed that meetings of the Assessment Panels will increase in number. The travel budget for 2002 will provide for 125 travels. |
3302 & 3303 |
This item includes assistance to participants. No more than one person's travel costs is covered for each country and use of the most appropriate economical fare and the United Nations per diem allowances is assumed. Every year since 1993, funding has been requested for some 50 participants from Article 5 countries and countries with economies in transition. As the number of Article 5 countries and countries with economies in transition has increased from 84 to 145 in 2000 (57.9%), it is proposed that the level of funding be increased to finance some 70 participants for the preparatory meeting and the Meeting of the Parties for 2001 and 2002. Funding for 60 participants is requested for the Open-ended Ended Working Group meeting. The average cost of participation for these countries is assumed to be $5,000 per participant. |
3304 |
The participation costs for the two Bureau meetings are based on four participants from developing countries or countries with economies in transition for each meeting. |
3305 |
The participation costs for the two Implementation Committee meetings are based on four participants from developing countries or countries with economies in transition for each meeting. |
3306 |
Funds are required for assisting non-Parties to participate in the meetings of the Protocol for promoting awareness regarding the benefits of ratification of the Protocol. |
4100, 4300, 5100 |
A 5 per cent inflation rate has been applied to the expendable equipment, rental of premises and equipment maintenance lines for the years 2001 and 2002. |
4200 |
The Secretariat is constantly developing its electronic data-processing systems in order to make the documentation of the Protocol and the Convention available electronically to the Parties. This development requires updating of the existing computer equipment and procurement of necessary peripherals and software licenses. |
5300 |
Line 5301 (communications has been reduced by $10,000 for 2001 and 2002, respectively, as the Secretariat is pursuing the use of electronic mail communication vigorously, which has reduced the expense of telephone and fax communications. A 5 per cent inflation rate has been applied to Lines 5302-5304. |
2200 |
The twentieth meeting of the Open-ended Working Group discussed the funding of the activities of Mr. Lambert Kuijpers, a Co-Chair of the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel. It recommended that the issue be considered by the Twelfth Meeting of the Parties, which is expected to consider the budget of the Secretariat. The decision of the Parties will then be reflected accordingly against line 2200. |
