Consideration 3
Extract:
There is no provision in the Staff Rules for the reimbursement of travel expenses and the payment of a subsistence allowance to officials wishing to attend the meetings of the appeals bodies at which their claims are heard. The complainant therefore has no right to such reimbursement. The organization undertook voluntarily to pay his travel expenses for the purpose of his appearance before the appeals body.
