29. 秘书长的报告包括请求在设施和基础设施项下编列 97 146 200 美元，比2017/18 年度的分配数减少 7 045 900 美元，即 6.8%。行预咨委会从手头资料中注意到，拟议资源包括用于建筑、改建、装修和主要维修的 16 300 000 美元，比 2017/18 年度的分配数增加了 3 200 000 美元，即 24.4%。行预咨委会还注意到，截至 2018 年 1 月 31 日，这个项目下支出 10 758 000 美元。在公用事业和废物处置服务项下，请求编列 15 075 800 美元，比 2017/18 年度分配数增加了25 500 美元，截至 2018 年 1 月 31 日支出金额达 3 405 300 美元。行预咨委会注意到，在购置家具项下拟议资源为 1 233 000 美元，比 2017/18 年度分配数增加了 911 300 美元，即 283.3%，而截至 2018 年 1 月 31 日支出金额达 208 700 美元。行预咨委会考虑到在本报告所述期间内设施和基础设施项下某些预算项目的支出模式，认为没有理由在这些项目下拟议增加资源。因此，行预咨委会建议设施和基础设施项下拟议资源减少 3 000 000 美元，从而使 2018/19 年度这一类别下资源为 94 146 200 美元。
29. The report of the Secretary-General includes a request for $97,146,200 under facilities and infrastructure, representing a decrease of $7,045,900, or 6.8 per cent, compared with the 2017/18 apportionment. The Advisory Committee notes from information provided to it that the proposed resources include the amount of $16,300,000 for construction, alteration, renovation and major maintenance, representing an increase of $3,200,000, or 24.4 per cent, compared with the 2017/18 apportionment. The Committee also notes that, as at 31 January 2018, expenditure under this line amounted to $10,758,000. Under utilities and waste disposal services, the amount of $15,075,800 is requested, representing an increase of $25,500 compared with the 2017/18 apportionment, while expenditures as at 31 January 2018 amounted to $3,405,300. Under acquisition of furniture, the Committee notes that the amount of $1,233,000 is proposed, representing an increase of $911,300, or 283.3 per cent, compared with the 2017/18 apportionment, while expenditure as at 31 January 2018 amounted to $208,700. Taking into account the expenditure patterns in the current period for certain budget lines within facilities and infrastructure, the Committee is not convinced that the proposed increases under those lines are justified. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $3,000,000 to the proposed resources for facilities and infrastructure, so that resources under this category for 2018/19 would amount to $94,146,200.
