As a result, goods carried by road often have to be trans-shipped at border areas or loading points along a designated route.

The construction of the Corporate Server room Resources Management System Project has allowed effective accumulation of data about server room related resources, providing Beijing Mobile’s engineering construction department, business operations department, transmission management department and network operations department with data and business support, so that the project owner, designer and user can all get a general, accurate handle on the distribution and usage of various server room resources, effectively avoid repeated investment, wrong investment and wrong allocation of resources while enhancing survey and design quality, avoiding ineffective construction, and providing potent support to fine management of engineering construction.

In addition, as Trunk Road T2 is a Schedule 2 Designated Project requiring an Environmental Permit for construction, we will carry out an EIA study as part of the investigation and design works to assess the potential environmental impacts of the road and identify the mitigation measures required.

In January 2007, we upgraded part of 711CL to Category A as 724CL “Kai Tak development – investigation and detailed design for advance infrastructure works for developments at the southern part of the former runway”, at an estimated cost of $38.0 million in MOD prices, for engaging consultants to undertake the investigation and detailed design for advance infrastructure works to serve the planned developments at the southern part of the former runway.

In view of the strict time schedule and the associated costs attached to any delay in the schedule of the capital master plan, the Secretary-General proposed to lease a commercial data centre facility, starting on 1 July 2009, and to engage the services of the International Computing Centre to install new information and communications technology (ICT) equipment in this readyto-use facility, migrate all systems to the new secondary data centre and manage some of the operations of the new secondary data centre (see A/63/743).

In many cases, the government of the country in which a particular asset is located is the sole authority able to grant such rights and, in some cases, may have limited infrastructure and limited resources which may constrain the Group’s ability to ensure that it has obtained secure title to individual exploration licences or extraction rights.

[...] [...] mines and exploration sites overlap with or are within a 10-kilometre radius of a strictly protected area; nearly one third of all active mines and exploration sites are located within areas of intact ecosystems of high conservation value; almost one third of all active mines are located in stressed watersheds; nearly one fifth of active mines and exploration sites are [...] [...]

An expanded network would facilitate service delivery, security, and trade, including access to markets, links to new oil exploration areas and the opening-up of non-oil revenue sectors such as agriculture.

In view of the complexity of the functions related to the occupational groups, the magnitude of the rosters, the levels of interaction with partners in the Organization and the need to mitigate the margin of error and the level of risk for the Organization, in particular, implications for the safety and security of staff and management of high-cost equipment, the scope of the function requires personnel at the P-4 level.

This assessment involves judgment as to: (i) the likely future commerciality of the asset and when such commerciality should be determined; (ii) future revenues based on forecasted oil and gas prices; (iii) future development costs and production expenses; (iv) the discount rate to be applied to such revenues and costs for the purpose of deriving a recoverable value, and (v) potential value to future E&E activities of any geological and geographical data acquired.

Furthermore, in the Special Declaration on Exploration of Non-renewable Natural Resources on the Argentine Continental Shelf of 3 August 2010, the Presidents of the States parties of MERCOSUR and associated States had rejected the exploration of non-renewable natural resources being carried out by the United Kingdom on the Argentine continental shelf, in violation of General Assembly resolution 31/49, and undertook to refrain from facilitating the activities of ships intended to provide support to activities involving drilling for hydrocarbons that would affect the rights of the Argentine Republic (see A/C.4/65/SR.2, paras. 16 and 17).

At the same meeting, speaking on behalf of the Rio Group, the representative of Chile: reiterated the Group’s support for the legitimate rights of Argentina in the sovereignty dispute with the United Kingdom; recalled its declaration and special communiqué on the exploration for fossil fuels on the continental shelf around the Islands, adopted by the Heads of State and Government of Latin America and the Caribbean gathered at the Unity Summit held in Mexico on 22 and 23 February 2010; rejected the military activities of the United Kingdom in the Islands, which ran counter to the region’s policy of seeking a solution to the dispute through peaceful means; and also recalled the declaration on that matter that had been adopted in Santiago in October 2010 (see A/C.4/66/SR.2).

The objectives of Tonga Offshore Mining’s plan of work are to: (a) determine the most efficient and environmentally acceptable method to process and recover nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese from the polymetallic nodules, and define in what form these metals would report in a final product for sale, as well as the related capital and operating costs; (b) decide upon the optimum method to recover the material to surface with the minimum of environmental disturbance, as well as the related capital and operating costs; and (c) define what grade of nickel, cobalt, copper and manganese is required in the polymetallic nodules for economic extraction, and determine through exploration what quantity and density of such material can be identified and delineated in the contract area.

[...] [...] and Algeria was not surveyed.

The increased requirements for resources, e.g. groundwater, rare earth elements and heavy metals, have shown that science must operate in an environmentally conscious manner to mitigate the effects of exploration for and exploitation of these resources.
