22. 令人遗憾的是，行预咨委会未能就飞机舱位标准达成一致意见。一些代表团坚持认为某些特定群体应享受头等舱差旅待遇，并反对更为审慎地使用公务舱，这有悖于促进一个更现代、更高效和更负责任的联合国的承诺。欧洲联盟代表团将欢迎秘书长在这方面提出强有力的建议，并鼓励秘书长重新考虑联合国人员在旅行中使用头等舱的问题。最后，秘书处应促进更好地理解在联合国实行可持续采购做法带来的益处。
22. It was regrettable that the Committee had been unable to reach agreement on the standards of accommodation for air travel. The insistence of some delegations on first class travel entitlements for particular groups and resistance to more judicious use of business class were at odds with the commitment to promoting a more modern, efficient and accountable United Nations. His delegation would welcome robust proposals from the Secretary-General in that regard and encouraged him to reconsider the use of first class travel by United Nations staff. Lastly, the Secretariat should promote a greater understanding of the benefits of sustainable procurement practices in the context of the United Nations.
