(Mr. Molteni, Argentina) developing countries were concerned , and ICSC should therefore be encouraged to follow the question very closely, along the lines laid down in paragraph 121 (e) of its report, which laid down clearly and precisely the steps necessary for continuous supervision of the conditions of service in the field. 96. He noted that ICSC was continuing to make progress on matters relating to personnel policies. That was a difficult task because of the different approaches existing in the various organizations of the common system. The work of ICSC in that field therefore deserved the Committee's support. 97. In the area of staff questions, his delegation appreciated the suggestions relating to career development and human resources planning contained in the document submitted by FICSA (A/C.S/38/23). 98. As to ICSC's recommendation that organizations should not for the moment introduce changes in the existing mandatory age of separation (para. 168) , he agreed that it was not the right time to innovate, but ICSC should study the matter in greater depth since it was of great importance for the career of international civil servants. 99. In conclusion, he referred to Chapter IX of the ICSC report, where reference was made for the first time to action taken by the Commission under article 17 of its statute: implementation and consideration by organizations of ICSC recommendations and decisions. From a reading of paragraph 170 to 176 and from an analysis of the very clear and useful tabulated summary of replies to the questionnaire sent by ICSC to the organizations (annex IV), it was clear in general terms that the reaction of the system's organizations had been very positive. The meeting rose at 6.0 7 p.m.
