The Director-General accordingly submits his proposal for the transfer of funds from Part VII to other Parts of the budget to cover the following cost increases arising from statutory and other factors affecting staff costs as well as goods and services. Staff costs 3. Pension Fund contributions for staff in the Professional category and above: In accordance with the provisions of Article 54(b) of the Regulations of the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund, a new revised scale of pensionable remuneration for staff in the Professional category and above, effective 1 November 2000, has been promulgated by the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC), following a change in the post adjustment classification in New York, resulting in an increase of 3.6%. The scale of pensionable remuneration is used to calculate pension contributions and benefits for the staff members concerned. The Amount application of this revised scale would result in an increase of 606, Increase in the mobility and hardship allowance, as well as in the repatriation grant and termination indemnity, for staff in the Professional category and above: The General Conference in 30 C/Resolution 71, paragraph 1, took note of document 30 C/42, paragraph 33-II-1 of which Authorizes the Director-General to apply to UNESCO staff any such measures as may be adopted either by the General Assembly of the United Nations or, by the powers vested in it, by the International Civil Service Commission;. Having considered the recommendation in the Annual Report of the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC), the fifty-fifth session (2000) of the United Nations General Assembly approved, with effect from 1 March 2001, a revised gross and net base/floor salary scale reflecting an increase of 5.1% over the previous scale for staff in the Professional category and above (resolution 55/223). This increase in net base salaries will be implemented on a no-gain, no-loss basis by means of a corresponding reduction in post adjustment. Nevertheless, the mobility and hardship allowance as well as the repatriation grant and the termination indemnity will increase by the same percentage (5.1%) as the net base/floor salary scale. The total increase for the 10 months of the second year of the biennium at Headquarters and in the field amounts to 216,700

10 161 EX/28 page 9 Staff costs Amount 5. Dependency allowances in the Professional category and above: The United Nations General Assembly, having considered the recommendations in the Annual Report of the International Civil Service Commission, approved at its fifty-fifth session (2000), with effect from 1 January 2001, an increase of 11.89% in the dependent child and secondary dependant s allowances, based on increases in tax abatements and payments under social legislation between 1998 and the current review. The amount required to cover this increase for the second year of the biennium is estimated at 115, Salary adjustments for staff in the General Service category: The General Conference, in 30 C/Resolution 71, paragraph 1, took note of document 30 C/42, paragraph 33-III (f) which authorizes the Director-General to base future interim adjustments between salary surveys to the net salaries of staff in the Paris General Service and related categories, on 90% of the average movement of the wage indices for employees and intermediate professions published by the French Ministry of Employment and Solidarity, it being understood that such adjustments shall take place every 12 months or whenever the average of the two reference indices has moved by 5%, whichever comes first, and will be based on the latest indices available on the effective date of the revised salary scale. On the basis of the evaluation on hourly wages during the 12 months preceding 1 October 2000, published by the French authorities in September 2000, and in accordance with standard methodology, an adjustment of 1.49% has been applied to net salaries and pensionable remuneration with effect from 1 January This has resulted in additional requirements for 2001 amounting to 712, Increase in language allowances for the General Service category: Following the above adjustments to the net base salaries and in accordance with usual practice, whereby the first language allowance represents 5% of the annual net salary of a grade G-2 step 1 and the second language allowance 50% of the first allowance, additional requirements for 2001 amount to 6, Dependency allowance General Service category at Headquarters: In its last survey, the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) recommended an increase in the allowance for a dependent child from 10,856 to 11,008 French francs per year.

The total estimated expenditure of 4,832,700 compared to the budget provision in document 30 C/5 Approved (4,192,200), entails an additional amount of 640, Increase in the amount foreseen for the Renovation Plan: The estimates for the Belmont Plan were calculated on the basis of the prices at the beginning of In accordance with the Index in the publication Moniteur du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics (September 2000), an increase of 16% should be taken into account, including the effect of the 35 hour working week in the host country.
