In some of the above cases the staff were employed for only a part of the year in question. In the time available it has not been possible to establish the total annual cost in respect of each post.
The above figures exclude persons on temporary contacts in missions abroad.
Overtime, travel and subsistence expenses are paid in accordance with normal civil service regulations.
