But potentially significant costs offset these small benefits.

(g) A framework and options for building the regular process, including potential costs.

Thus, the immediate benefits become more politically salient than potential future costs.

In Hyderabad, governments will be presented with the likely costs of scaling up efforts to achieve that goal.

But any further move toward interest rate liberalization must account for all potential costs and benefits.

They noted potential joint programming costs and overlapping agency roles, which could blur accountability and transparency.

If Taiwan were to declare independence, it is likely that China would use force, regardless of the perceived economic or military costs.

Burma s peaceful protests are nearing their tipping point, with the military junta weighing the potential costs of a full military crackdown.

And the estimate of avoided emissions ignores indirect land use changes, making the likely real cost at least eight times higher.

The Bush team not only misled the world about the war s possible costs, but has also sought to obscure the costs as the war has gone on.

What are the likely costs and benefits of stimulus versus consolidation? And what is the best combination of spending cuts and tax hikes?

A social cost benefit analysis (taking into account impacts other than on the budget) makes such expenditures, even when debt financed, even more attractive.

In total, the study exaggerated more than 12 fold the number of deaths that could possibly be attributed to climate change, and it more than quadrupled the potential economic costs, simply to grab attention.

Translating policies, legislation, plans and budgets into large scale accelerated action

Regulation of goods and services for public health clearly is a good idea but it must always be balanced against potential costs in this case, the cost of not providing more vitamin A to eight million children over the past 12 years.

From a short term perspective, Noyer s position is largely correct. But the profits that would be lost remain lower than the potential costs of another major financial crisis.

Concerning the staff buy out, Indonesia is of the view that more detailed information should be provided to justify such action and to indicate what the likely costs will be, and we hope that it will not create imbalances in geographical representation.

An even larger portion would have been unprofitable without the government subsidies that cushion potential losses. Such losses do not include additional significant direct and external costs to the ocean ecosystem and coastal communities that rely upon it.

Possible models

Potential options

However, while I remain fully committed to the principle of greater cooperation among the three United Nations peacekeeping missions deployed in West Africa, the potential costs and benefits of such an approach must be carefully weighed in the light of the current subregional context.

Five possible topics include

Several outcomes are possible.

The possible conclusions are stark.

VI Possible ways forward

Potential funding sources

Potential beneficiaries

But it remains the case that there are no obvious takers for a military role, partly because of the scale, difficulty, and risk of the commitment required, and partly because of the likely political and legal costs, given the minimal prospect of Security Council endorsement.

It also wished to know whether consideration had been given to the potential cost savings of needing fewer security guards and to the need to accommodate emergency evacuations.

Possible measures to address compliance issues

A number of possible explanations were provided.

Physical protection of potential terrorist targets

The more thinly capitalized banks are, the more severe these distortions and the larger the expected costs rising from insulating executives from potential losses to non shareholder stakeholders.

As a result, both the public and private sectors must accept the need for additional investments, as well as the potential costs of early capital retirement, in order to accelerate this process and deliver deep cuts in emissions.

Of course, there are obvious governance problems with the eurozone. Most glaringly, the question of how to allocate the costs of some member countries unsustainable debt overhang has not been adequately addressed.

The potential consequences are serious.

Other possible issues include

With regard to the protection of potential terrorist targets

With regard to the financial arrangements, it will be recalled that in accordance with the practice followed on the occasion of previous multilateral disarmament conferences, and as reflected in the Rules of Procedure, the costs of such conferences, including those pertaining to preparatory meetings, would be shared among the States Parties participating in the conferences, based upon the United Nations scale of assessment pro rated to take into account the number of

Subject to the States Parties' approval of the estimated costs and cost sharing formula, assessment notices will be prepared based on the overall estimated costs and applicable cost sharing formula.

But the cost of such rigid rules may be high, and their effectiveness, as witnessed by the vagaries of the United States record on human rights, is less fool proof than is sometimes imagined.

Technical difficulties

Total cost 133 300

Administrative costs

So what are the main potential sticking points?
