It is the view of the Advisory Committee that the total number of vehicles in the mission area is adequate and that there is no need to rent more vehicles.

We're looking at a lot of compounds, but recently been quite interested in the flame retardants, the brominated flame retardants that are in many, many things that we use in our everyday life, from the cushions in the chairs we're all sitting on to the plastic casings of our computers, our television sets and so on.

The amount of staff actually deployed will also impact on other items such as the number of vehicles which are needed.

In practice, vehicle monitoring results in fewer discrepancies regarding vehicular operations and reduced parking summonses.

Many of the vehicles to be leased during this period will be of a seasonal and specialized nature, such as snow clearing equipment, snow ploughs, salt spreaders, etc.

A reduction in the number of contingent owned vehicles has resulted in savings of 1,800 in vehicle insurance costs and 500 in the cost for workshop equipment.

The purpose of these policies is to reduce the number of vehicles on the roads and thus reduce rush hour traffic intensity.

These vehicles will be required for the entire mandate period to replace an equivalent number of utility vehicles, which were provided in the previous mandate period by military contingents that are now being repatriated under the reduction programme

The Advisory Committee also notes that provisions have been made for rental of a large number of vehicles since those previously provided by UNOSOM were stolen.

With respect to maintenance of equipment, the reduced requirements are mainly owing to lower maintenance costs for vehicles resulting from a reduction in the size of the vehicle fleet and lower usage of vehicles in the field as a result of the reduced number of investigation missions, and lower requirements for maintenance of communication and data processing equipment.
