been made in reviewing the operation of the post adjustment system, particularly with respect to the application of a revised methodology for cost-of-living surveys. However, they noted with concern that, at six duty stations, the post adjustment classifications were higher than what was justified by the results of the new cost-of-living surveys (A/38/30, para. 37). They therefore hoped that such discrepancies could be rectified at the current session of the General Assembly and that both ACPAQ and ICSC would make recommendations to that effect. 49. The preceding year the delegations of the Nordic countries had drawn attention to the urgent necessity of taking housing costs into account in calculating the post adjustment allowance, especially in the case of new staff members. Accordingly, they welcomed the measures proposed by ICSC to broaden the rental subsidy scheme and to extend the scheme to duty stations where it was not in effect (A/38/30, para. 44). 50.

The delegations of the Nordic countries also endorsed the recommendations of ICSC that the amount of the education grant should be raised and that the reimbursement rate for disabled children should be increased' they also supported the decision of ICSC to review periodically the amount of the education grant (A/38/30, paras. 83 and 84). They noted with satisfaction the interest of ICSC in problems relating to the security of field staff (para. 122). 52. The delegations of the Nordic countries had paid close attenti9n to the ICSC 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the post adjustment system, cost-of-living surveys, and the recommendations made by ICSC (International Civil Service Commission) to the General Assembly. The topics covered include housing costs, language training, education grants, and the reimbursement rate for disabled children. These issues seem to be related to the welfare and benefits of international civil servants, rather than to economic development or natural resources.
