The mandate of the Force has subsequently been extended by the Council in various resolutions, the latest of which was resolution 1276 (1999) of 24 November 1999, by which the mandate of the Force was extended until 31 May 2000.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n \n 2.\t<\/span>The budget for the maintenance of UNDOF for the period from 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999 was set out in the report of the Secretary-General dated 13 February 1998 (A\/52\/771\/Add.1 and Corr.1), and amounted to $33,643,900 gross ($32,750,200 net).<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n \n 3.\t<\/span>On the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions (see para. 16 of A\/52\/860\/Add.5), the General Assembly, by its resolution 52\/236 of 26 June 1998, appropriated an amount of $35,400,100 gross ($34,506,400 net) for the maintenance of UNDOF for the period from 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999, inclusive of $1,756,200 for the support account for peacekeeping operations. This amount has been assessed on Member States.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n \n \t<\/span>II.\t<\/span>Implementation of the budget<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\n 4.\t<\/span>Information on the operations of UNDOF and on the situation on the ground during the period under review is contained in the reports of the Secretary-General to the Security Council dated 14 May 1998 (S\/1998\/391), 14 November 1998 (S\/1998\/1073), 18 May 1999 (S\/1999\/575) and 15 November 1999 (S\/1999\/1175).<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n \n 5.\t<\/span>During the period covered by this performance report, from 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999, UNDOF continued to carry out its mandate, which requires UNDOF to maintain the ceasefire, to see that it is scrupulously observed and to supervise the agreement and protocol with regard to the areas of separation and limitation.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n \n 6.\t<\/span>The savings realized during the period are attributable to a combination of factors, including the lower than projected requirements under civilian staff salaries and common staff costs as a result of vacancy rates of 8 and 4 per cent experienced (compared with 0 per cent vacancy rate budgeted) for the international and local staff respectively; more favourable unit rates obtained for purchase of vehicles under the system contract; non-purchase of some vehicles; receipt of some vehicles, equipment and supplies from the United Nations Logistics Base at Brindisi, Italy; and favourable exchange rates. These savings were utilized in part to fund: (a) the higher costs of obtaining rations during the interim period between the expiration of the old and award of the new dry and frozen ration supply contract; (b) unbudgeted purchase of new telephone sets; (c) upgrade of electronic data-processing (EDP) hardware and software to ensure year 2000 compliance; and (d) the mission's share of financing the United Nations Logistics Base at Brindisi.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n \n \t<\/span>III.\t<\/span>Financial performance report for the period from 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\n 7.\t<\/span>As indicated in table 1 below, from the appropriation of $35,400,100 gross ($34,506,400 net) for the period from 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999, expenditures amounted to $33,662,500 gross ($32,916,100 net), inclusive of $13,317,000 in unliquidated obligations. The resulting unencumbered balance of $1,737,600 gross ($1,590,300 net) represents, in gross terms, approximately 4.9 per cent of the amount appropriated.
