One frequent practical impediment to international trade relates to the multiplicity

(b) To ensure, where possible, that cost savings, as a result of joint efforts and coordination, will accrue to development programmes

The Inspectors prepared a savings analysis, which is based on the cost per payslip currently borne by the different United Nations system organizations, compared with benchmark organizations.

The cost of activities held in the current year. In the case of activities beginning in one year and continuing into the next, the full cost of the activity should be charged to the current year.

(a) Electricity savings mitigate the need for expensive and potentially polluting new power generating capacity, which would otherwise be needed to meet rapidly increasing power demand

As has been demonstrated, human resources and material assets deployed in a limited range of product lines and operations are easily transferable between country operations, enhancing cost savings and delivery speed.

(b) To achieve cost savings

The full cost of contracts or purchase orders entered into prior to the end of the year, whether or not delivery has been effected, as long as there is budgetary provision in the current period.

In terms of overall cost, holding these meetings back to back in a United Nations venue, particularly in Montreal, often results in cost savings compared to holding the meetings independently.

However, when the remuneration of the consultant is expressed as a lump sum rather than a sum per period worked, the full cost of the contract may be treated as an obligation of the current year.

Savings are anticipated upon their renewal in 2007.
