Recalling further its resolution 33/78 of 15 December 1978 on industrial development co-operation and Economic and Social Council resolution 1979/54 of 2 August 1979 on the same subject,

Bearing in mind, in particular, that the rapid industrialization of developing countries constitutes an indispensable element and a dynamic instrument in the sustained, self-reliant growth of their economies and of their social transformation,

Stressing the need to accelerate the implementation of measures for the achievement of industrial development co-operation, particularly those contained in the Lima Declaration and Plan of Action, with a view to raising the share of developing countries to at least 25 per cent of total world industrial production by the end of the century, as called for in the Lima Declaration,

Emphasizes that the programme budget proposals in respect of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization for the biennium 1980-1981 should reflect the priorities agreed upon at the thirteenth session of the Industrial Development Board, n as endorsed by the Economic and Social Council in its resolution 1979 / 54;

Reaffirms that the programmes being developed by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization in respect of the system of consultations, the Industrial and Technological Information Bank and technical assistance are of the utmost priority and urgency to developing countries, and hence the momentum of their growth must be maintained in the biennium 1980- 1981;

Requests the Secretary-General, accordingly, to submit, during the current session of the General Assembly, proposals00 for the proposed programme budget for the biennium 1980-1981 that would enable the United Nations Industrial Development Organization to execute the programmes in respect of the system of consultations, the Industrial and Technological Information Bank and technical assistance, approved by the Industrial Development Board05 and endorsed by the Economic and Social Council.

Noting that the programme budget of the United Nations contains considerable appropriations for construction of premises,

Noting further that the volume and value of surplus property and equipment are likely to grow with the increase in United Nations activities,

Concerned by the increasing costs of construction projects,

Bearing in mind that the Board of Auditors reported to the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions that it had made recommendations designed to improve procurement and inventory systems,67

Desirous of ensuring that United Nations resources are expended in the most economical manner,

Requests the Secretary-General to review existing procedures for the award of contracts, including, in particular, construction contracts, bearing in mind the possibility of increased tendering on an international basis, and to report thereon to the General Assembly at its thirty-fifth session;

Further requests the Secretary-General to submit to the General Assembly at its thirty-fifth session a report on current procedures governing the disposal of surplus property and equipment, together with recommendations on how those procedures can be improved in the interest of maximizing income from the sale of surplus property and equipment.
