At the same time, the execution of the secretariat's functions has been affected by severe budgetary constraints.

This solution was completed on time and within budgets.

8. Welcomes the timely submission of the proposed programme budget and the continued efforts made by the Secretary General to improve the format of the proposed programme budget

There is currently no post established to perform activities related to budgetary and programme performance reports.

Under this programme, an amount of US 2,533,000 was approved for the biennium 2004 2005 for staff related costs of five administrative staff and operational expenditures of the secretariat.

The Committee expects that future budget and performance reports of both Tribunals will be submitted in a timely and synchronized manner.

The Secretariat informed the Committee that such provisions reflected current industry budgetary standards.

Meanwhile, the lion s share of the new budget, 63 , will go to the military, police, administration, and debt service.

5. Emphasizes that the performance report should be submitted in a timely manner in order to allow Member States to analyse it and to facilitate budget preparation

The Provisional Institutions of Self Government, through the Kosovo consolidated budget, remained the leading funder of returns, and provided all returnees with adequate identification documents in a timely manner.

It hoped not to spend time on micromanaging budget issues, but rather to focus on strategic priorities and conclude consideration of the proposed programme budget rapidly, with a short and concise draft resolution on the matter.

The Committee was informed that this was due to the fact that the resolution was drafted some time after the proposed programme budget was prepared.

At the same time, the proposed programme budget contains provisions for anticipated increases owing to inflation and adjustments that are to changes in the rates of exchange.

In addition, it is imperative that delegations submit those draft resolutions that could entail programme budget implications as early as possible, to give the Secretariat sufficient time to prepare the necessary programme budget implications.

For the time being, the text of the programme budget implications is contained in section E of document A C.5 60 L.22.

It was time seriously to consider the possibility of a more realistic budget than the one approved in 2001.

At the same time, the European Parliament will have far greater powers. It will have joint decision making authority in many more areas, including the budget.

At the same time, economic reform has not been abandoned. Controversial budget provisions that had earlier deterred investors are being reviewed.

This approach reinforces the usefulness of the budget as a planning, managerial and fundraising tool, while at the same time maintaining the Agency's financial transparency and integrity.

At the same time, the fungibility of funding between regular budget and extrabudgetary resources remains a key issue for most specialized agencies, which are increasingly depending on unpredictable supplementary funding to maintain their critical core machinery.

The focus, instead, should be on accelerating the process of balance sheet repair, while at the same time returning monetary and fiscal policy levers to more normal settings.

The General Assembly took note of paragraphs 46 and 47 of the report, concerning the timely submission of draft proposals for the review of their programme budget implications.

It acknowledged that the budget submission represented a work in progress, and reaffirmed the need to allow adequate time for the Mission to develop before making hasty cuts in its financing.

Financial implications of the implementation of the request by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation The intended purpose of withholding financial support to some Parties was to encourage timely payment of indicative contributions to the core budget.

I request their full cooperation so that we are able to take action on all draft resolutions and decisions in a timely manner, particularly on those involving budget programme implications.

At the same time, I should note that we have increased our support for local government development efforts to 7 per cent of the national budget.

Sufficient and predictable funding through the core budget for core activities mandated by the Parties is essential for the timely delivery and high quality of these activities.

The report of the Fifth Committee on the programme budget implications of draft resolution II is issued as document A 60 623, and the text of the programme budget implications is contained, for the time being, in document A C.5 60 L.22, section H.

Table 13.2 Summary of publications (regular budget and extrabudgetary)

The report of the Fifth Committee on the programme budget implications of draft resolution XXIV is issued as document A 60 617, and the text of the programme budget implications is contained, for the time being, in document A C.5 60 L.22, section B.

The total expenditure envisaged in the budget, namely US 3,058,200,000 would be the subject of complex negotiations since it was both a financial and political issue.

(c) Technical cooperation (regular budget extrabudgetary)

(i) Advisory services (regular budget and extrabudgetary)

Currently, the Unit has two Professional posts in the regular budget, one at the P 5 level for the Chief of Unit and another at the P 3 level.

The President informed the General Assembly that action on draft resolution XXIV was postponed to a later date to allow time for the review of its programme budget implications by the Fifth Committee.

Taking into account the level of consulting funds available in the budget as a whole, the Committee recommends against the provision of an additional 104,800 for consultant and expert services at this time.
