Explanatory Notes for the Budget

1. The 1994 and 1995 budgets, as approved by the Fifth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, are amended by an addition of $200,000 for 1994 and $250,000 for 1995 under line 1200 ("Consultants") in order to provide for the estimated cost of the evaluation of the Financial Mechanism as mandated by section II, paragraph 4, of decision IV/18 of the Fourth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and as determined by the Tenth Meeting of the Open-ended Working Group of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in accordance with decision V/12 of the Fifth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol (paragraph 14 (h) of Annex I of UNEP/OzL.Pro/WG.1/10/6).

2. The guidelines for the 1996 budget are as follows:

a/ 1100 Classification of the posts in UNEP is currently taking place in accordance with the guidelines of the United Nations. Provision is made for upgrading, if approved by the Executive Director, after review.

b/ 1201 See explanatory note 1.

c/ 1320 The Secretariat needs the temporary assistance at the times of meetings due to increasing number of documents.

d/ 1321-1326 The conference-servicing costs have been based on the following assumptions:

One Open-ended Working Group meeting will be held during 1996, using six languages and lasting five days.

The Preparatory and Parties meeting in 1996 for Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol in six languages, will be convened back-to-back in Nairobi. The cost provided for the Montreal Protocol budget is arrived at after deducting the amount provided by the Parties to the Vienna Convention ($200,000) from the total anticipated cost for all the meetings ($480,000).

The two Bureau meetings are scheduled for 1996, using three languages.

The two Implementation Committee meetings, in English only, are assumed to take place in Nairobi.

The one informal consultation, in English, is assumed to take place in Nairobi.

e/ 3301-3305 The participation of representatives of developing country Parties in the various Protocol meetings is assumed to cost an average of $5,000 per participation taking into account not more than one person's travel costs per country using the most appropriate economical fare and per diem allowances for one week during 1996.

The participation in the Assessment Panel meetings (Three Panels and Seven Technical Options Committees) for around 60 participants is $300,000.

The Preparatory and Parties meetings participation costs for 80 experts are shared between the Trust Funds in the Vienna Convention and of the Montreal Protocol.

Participation costs of the two Bureau meetings are based on three developing country participants in each meeting.

Participation costs of the two committee meetings are based on six developing country participants in each meeting.

f/ 4101 The costs of expendable equipment have been increased marginally to provide for increases in prices.

g/ 4201 The cost of non-expendable equipment is to allow the replacement of one computer and two printers.

h/ 5201-5202 The general reporting costs are expected to increase marginally in view of the larger number of Parties.

i/ 5301-5302 The communications and freight charges have been increased due to the increase in the number of Parties to the Montreal Protocol and the increasing local and international postal charges.
