The costs anticipated under transport of contingent owned equipment were charged against commercial freight and cartage instead.

The minimum euro value per item of non expendable property is 1,500.

28. The increase requested under equipment amounts to 1.2 million, offset by a reduction of 2.2 million under supplies.

41. Additional requirements under office and data processing equipment resulted from local procurement to replace broken damaged equipment.

3. The requirements under contingent owned equipment have increased by 31,897,800.

48. Savings were realized under transport of contingent owned equipment as less contingent owned equipment was deployed to the mission area than originally expected.

Savings for office equipment resulted from the postponed acquisition of additional equipment since technicians were still installing equipment purchased during the previous mandate period.

23. The Committee notes that an amount of 1,603,700 is being proposed under other equipment.

Equipment and construction account for nine per cent while grants and subsidies, premises and other requirements account for 11 per cent of the budget.

Savings under the transport of contingent owned equipment ( 249,400) were partially offset by additional requirements under commercial freight and cartage ( 142,200).

Steps have been taken to upgrade office computer equipment and improve overall security and staff safety, including the provision of security equipment, as a result of which the provision under the budget chapter for the acquisition of permanent equipment had to be increased.

54. Savings under transport of contingent owned equipment were realized because of lower requirements in respect of transportation of military contingents apos equipment.

41D.13 The additional requirements in the amount of 35,400 under rental and maintenance of equipment relate mostly to increases under maintenance contracts for office automation equipment.

Under the budget line item for transport of continent owned equipment, savings are estimated at 9,500.

29. Provision is made for 36,000 under contingent owned equipment (A 49 429, annex VI, para. 13).

This estimate covers the cost of shipping and handling of equipment and supplies to and from the mission area not provided for elsewhere in the budget.

Savings under transport of contingent equipment were due to the lower cost of freight charges because of the proximity of troop contributing countries to the mission area.

As at 30 September 1993, savings of 14,900 under mine clearing equipment were partially offset by over expenditure of 100 under miscellaneous equipment.

As indicated in table 41G.1 above, increases under this heading are partly offset by a slight decrease of 2,000 and 1,700 respectively under supplies and equipment.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENT

Savings for public information equipment ( 251,500) and materials and supplies ( 39,800) totalled 291,300.

The expansion of Engineering Services because of transfer of responsibility for the activity from the military sector to the civilian sector created a greater demand for engineering tools and other types of equipment not foreseen in the original cost estimates for miscellaneous other equipment.

32. The overexpenditure under other equipment is largely attributable to increased requirements for data processing equipment related to the continuing computerization programme.

In line with the reductions mentioned in paragraphs 29 and 30 above, the resources under special equipment have been revised to 20,300.

Due to excessive wear and tear, there was a constant need to repair generators, resulting in an over expenditure under parts and repair of equipment.

Additional requirements under security and safety equipment are based on the actual number of pieces of equipment which needed to be replaced during the current biennium.

21. A decrease of 827,000 is foreseen under transport of contingent owned equipment owing to the projected delay in withdrawal of contingent personnel during this period.

41. The additional requirement of 137,480 for air and surface freight was due to the non provision of freight charges for transporting contingent owned equipment.
