delegations, despite their commitment to a peaceful settlement of the question of Namibia, were not convinced that the Council's proposed programme for 1984 would contribute significantly to achieving that end. They also felt that, like any other subsidiary body of the General Assembly, the Council for Namibia should comply with the principles set forth by the Assembly and refrain from adopting work programmes or budgets containing so many departures from the Organization's financial rules and regulations and decisions governing the use of conference resources. It would have been very useful for the Fifth Committee, in the present c~se, to have an integrated statement of programme, financial and administrative implications. For the reasons he had just set forth, the delegations on whose behalf he was speaking would vote against approval of the additional appropriation sought for carrying out the recommendations of the United Nations Council for Namibia. 27. Mr. RALLIS (Greece), speaking on behalf of the member States of the European Community, said that the Ten supported the goal of Namibian independence but felt that a more judicious approach in the Council's work programme would have reduced its financial implications in 1983. They were concerned at the departures from General Assembly resolutions 31/140, 3415 (XXX) and 37/14 C and decision 34/401. The Ten wished to emphasize that such exceptions would inevitably have serious effects on the calendar of conferences as a whole, and on the budget of the Organization. They were sorry that the Committee on Conferences had reached no conclusion on the matter. He stressed, nevertheless, that their reservations ; ... A/C.S/38/SR.52 English Page 8 (Mr. Rallis, Greece) concerning the financial implications of the five draft resolutions appearing in the report of the Council did not in any sense imply that they were less committed to the independence of Namibia than in the past. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the budget and financial implications of the United Nations Council for Namibia, which is a subsidiary body of the General Assembly. The delegates are concerned about the departures from General Assembly resolutions and financial rules, and are debating the approval of an additional appropriation. The focus is on the administrative and financial aspects, rather than the specific goals or objectives of the Council.
