EXPERT GROUP ON PROGRAMME OF WORK AND BUDGET

VERIFICATION RELATED EQUIPMENT

(Provisional Technical Secretariat)

1. In document PC-VIII/B/WP.1 of 15 July 1994, the Chairman of the Expert Group on Inspection Procedures drew attention to the results of the Group's discussions on the Secretariat's proposals for the procurement of verification-related equipment contained in the draft Budget for 1995, and forwarded these to the Expert Group on Programme of Work and Budget for its consideration.

2. The Secretariat wishes to advise the Expert Group on Programme of Work and Budget that the Expert Group on Inspection Procedures took note of the Secretariat's request for occupational health and safety equipment to the 1994 base cost value of USD202,200 (Dfl, 384,000) but did not include these items in its consideration. If it is accepted that these items should be procured in 1995, then this sum should be added to Phase I of the Budget.

3. The Secretariat also wishes to advise the Expert Group on Programme of Work and Budget that, if the results of the work of the Expert Group on Inspection Procedures on this issue are accepted, the changes set out below should be made at the appropriate points to document PC-VIII/A/WP.1. These figures include the Secretariat's request for occupational health and safety equipment to the 1994 base cost value of USD202,200 (Dfl, 384,000).
