Notes:

The inflation rate is assumed to be 2.5 per cent.

a)	1100 and 1300	Classification of the posts in UNEP is currently taking place in accordance with the guidelines of the United Nations. Provision is made for upgrading, if found necessary, in the classification and if approved by the Executive Director, after review. The salaries are updated to reflect the current and estimated future salary levels in Nairobi.
b)	1322 - 1327	The conference‑servicing costs have been based on the following assumptions:
	1322	The 1999 meeting of the Conference of the Parties and its Preparatory Meeting will be held in Nairobi, using six languages.
	1324	One Bureau meeting is scheduled for 1999.
	1327	One Ozone Research Managers meeting will be held in 1999, in Geneva. In accordance with Conference decision III/6, the meeting planned for 1995 was rescheduled for 1996. Therefore, the approved budget for organizing this meeting in 1995 has been carried over to 1996.
c)	1600	Travel on official business has been increased to $45,000 in 1999 to cover the cost of organizing the Ozone Research Managers meeting in Geneva and the fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Vienna Convention.
d)	3300	The average cost of participation is assumed to be $5,000 per participant in 1997, with no more than one person's travel cost being covered for each country and using the most appropriate economical fare and United Nations per diem allowances.
	3304	The participation costs for the Bureau meeting are based on there being four participants from developing countries or countries with economies in transition.
	3307	One Ozone Research Managers meeting will be held in 1999, in Geneva. Funding is reserved for participants from developing countries. In accordance with Conference decision III/6, the meeting planned for 1995 was rescheduled for 1996, and, therefore, the budget approved for participation in this meeting in 1995 has been carried over to 1996.
e)	4100	The cost of expendable equipment has been increased marginally to cover inflation.
g)	4301	The level of rent has been increased to current levels from 1998 onwards.
h)	Contingency	If the need arises, the Secretariat will request the Conference of the Parties to review the contingency.
