Approves a supplementary budget appropriation of 3 million to cover additional security related costs in the 2004 2005 biennial support budget (E ICEF 2005 AB L.7), thus increasing from 14 million to 17 million the security related costs for the biennium.

(iii) Unliquidated obligations in respect of the special account for programme support costs are accounted for on the same basis as for the regular budget.

b) The project budget comprises mainly non recurrent costs funded by earmarked project contributions.

Provisions for future costs do not figure in the budget of the Agency, which requires the approval of the General Assembly.

Operating costs incurred were at a level of 72 per cent of the originally proposed expenditure budget, partly due to deferred expenditure, but also for cost savings under certain budget items, such as printing.

The additional costs are covered by the provision of cost increases included in UNIDO's approved programme and budget estimates for the 2004 2005 biennium.

Total full costs of such requirements amount to 89,300 dollars under Section 24, Human Rights, in the programme budget for the biennium 2004 2005.

They include provision for civilian personnel costs of 2,687,800, and 2,329,600 for operational costs.
