The savings accrue from reductions in costs for

The additional costs are offset by reductions under common staff costs.

In some countries administrative costs were higher than spending on poverty reductions.

The overruns for civilian staff costs are due to these reductions.

Other than posts, the changes in field office costs are mainly reductions in other staff costs, operating expenses and furniture and equipment.

These reductions are attributable to the shift of costs related to other resources.

The total increase of 1,550,100 towards security costs have been partially offset by reductions in other programmes.

The savings are due to reductions in the costs for military observers ( 200,500), civilian staff costs ( 1,668,300), transport operations ( 3,376,500) and air operations ( 1,000,500).

These reductions relate to charter costs ( 451,800), aviation fuel ( 121,100) and liability insurance ( 73,300).

The world is buzzing at the moment with plans to force reductions in gas emissions at all costs.

These estimated savings have been achieved as a result in reductions in troop strength and related travel and allowance costs.

A reduction in unit labor costs can also increase competitiveness only to the extent that it actually results in price reductions.

In addition to the increased transportation costs, current account losses reflect reductions in transportation receipts, transit fees, and revenues from communications.

(a) Staff costs charged to the procurement services account should be reviewed and appropriate reductions made.

Large reductions in public sector wages brought down the primary deficit, but employment maintenance lowers productivity, raises costs, and delays adjustment.

The decrease under this heading is caused by the combined effect of reductions in salaries ( 1,215,300) and common staff costs ( 5,526,400).

These reductions reflect the replacement of the standard costs projected in the initial appropriation by averages derived from the actual experience in 1994.

Those costs amounted to 2.4 million in 1991, and as a result of support staff reductions at Headquarters, will be the same in 1992.

In addition to the increased transportation costs, current account losses reflect reductions in transportation receipts, transit fees and revenues from communications. (ibid., para. 19).

Furthermore, the reductions under common staff costs reflect both the realized vacancy rates described above and the lower than budgeted actual rate of common staff costs ( 5,526,400).

But gains in measured productivity growth from this source are not permanent changes, so a large part of the reported reductions in unit labor costs are temporary.

The main factors contributing to the variance are decreased requirements under facilities and infrastructure, communications, information technology and medical costs in view of the reductions in troop strength.

While welcoming reductions in strategic nuclear warheads, Norway underlines the need for verifiable, transparent and irreversible reductions.

Optimists see it differently. Encouraged by sharp reductions in households debt service costs and a surprisingly steep fall in unemployment, they argue that the long nightmare has finally ended.

Of the 10.5 million in reductions, 6.4 million or 60 per cent represent reductions in the finance, personnel and administration areas.

Unlike the reductions put into place in 1992 1993, the reductions for 1994 1995 are not across the board.

further reductions in US and Russian nuclear forces.

I turn now to reductions in conventional weapons.

The reductions were in accordance with the budget strategy developed by the Regional Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean, which placed emphasis on financing office costs through the mobilization of extrabudgetary resources and increased government contributions to local office costs.

Additional savings from the elimination of support functions and reductions in general operating expenditures complement the major reductions referred to above.

As indicated above, the criteria might include reductions in

There have been considerable reductions in nuclear weapons arsenals.

It might, however, be assumed that the net effect of applying a common staff assessment scale in 1997 would not result in additional costs to organizations and would in fact achieve overall cost reductions.

At this stage, the Committee notes that these investments in information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure have not yet produced any discernible reductions in the costs for travel of staff or pouch services.

In some regions the reductions in fertility have been exceedingly rapid.

Reductions under both salaries and common staff costs at Geneva, Bangkok, United Nations Truce Supervision Organization in Palestine (UNTSO) and the information centres reflect a higher level of vacancies than budgeted.
