20.1. This major programme provides for the directly identifiable costs of holding four full sessions and two shorter sessions of the Governing Body during the biennium 1998-99. The direct costs to the Office of holding these sessions include: the travel expenses and allowances of the Employer and Worker members and deputy members of the Governing Body, for whom the ILO pays such costs; and the representation allowance payable to the Chairman of the Governing Body.
20.2. In comparison with the biennium 1996-97, the provision for this major programme has been increased by $80,000 in real terms to cover the travel costs of ten additional deputy members (five employers and five workers) to all of the sessions of the Governing Body (the corresponding provision in the biennium 1996-97 was only intended to cover their costs as from the November 1996 Session).
20.3. In addition to the directly identifiable costs shown in the table above, costs are incurred under a number of other major programmes.
