text: 29.8 A net surplus of $141,000 under temporary posts is directly attributable to delays in the recruitment of staff against temporary posts authorized for the Translation Division and the Publishing Division within the framework of the plan for the elimination of the backlog in the publication of the Treaty Series. 29.9 An increase of $1,524,300 under overtime and night differential is primarily due to the practice of relying on overtime and using existing staff when the recruitment of short-term temporary assistance is not a practical option due to the pressures of urgent conference requirements and other deadlines, particularly with regard to the preparation of documentation. ; ... A/C.5/38/49/Add.29 English Page 9 Contractual services (Increase: $322,300) 29.10 The increase under this heading is due to an overall increase in the volume of contractual translation/revision and typing, particularly for the Arabic, Chinese and Russian languages, which rose by 26.5 per cent from 1980 to 1982 and an increase in fees for translation carried out away from Headquarters. Travel (Decrease: $20,000) 29.11 A decrease of $20,000 is anticipated due to savings achieved in the implementation of the staff exchange programme and of the regular travel programme of the Head of the Department and its senior staff. External printing (Decrease: $20,000) 29.12 A saving of $20,000 is attributable to greater use of internal reproduction facilities. General operating expenses (Decrease: $487,500) 29.13 Savings of $487,500 are comprised of decreases under maintenance of equipment ($16,000) and rental of equipment ($472,400) reduced slightly by an increase of $900 under communications. 29.14 The decrease of $16,000 stems from the fact that, as a result of better maintenance, there have been fewer breakdowns of the reproduction equipment. 29.15 The decrease of $472,400 under rental of equipment reflects the decision to purchase word-processing equipment instead of continuing rental arrangements.
