Decision of the Fifth Committee
3. The Fifth Committee, having considered the statement of programme budget
implications submitted by the Secretary-General1 and the related report of the
Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions,2 decides to
inform the General Assembly that the adoption of draft resolution A/C.3/60/L.28, as
revised, would give rise to additional requirements under section 2 of the proposed
programme budget for the biennium 2006-2007 for conference-servicing costs of
$111,400, to be considered for appropriation, at a subsequent stage, in the context of
the review of the consolidated statement of all statements of programme budget
implications and revised estimates provided for in the procedures established by the
General Assembly in its resolutions 41/213 of 19 December 1986 and 42/211 of
21 December 1987 regarding the use and operation of the contingency fund. The
estimate of $7,000 for support services proposed under section 28D for the
biennium 2006-2007 should be absorbed within the provisions to be made under that
section, consistent with the terms of the draft resolution.
