Requests the Committee on Contributions to prepare a set of guidelines for the collection and presentation of data by Member States, in order to ensure that adequate data and statistical information are submitted to the Committee on a uniform and comparable basis;

Requests the Committee on Contributions to submit to the General Assembly at its thirty-seventh session a thorough study on alternative methods to assess the real capacity of Member States to pay that takes fully into account Assembly resolution 34/6 B, all the elements listed in paragraph I above, including a new statistical base period, a revised upper limit of the low per capita income allowance formula and a limit for increases between two successive scales of assessments;

Decides that, pending fulfilment by the Committee on Contributions of the directives set out in paragraph 3 above, the following criteria will be observed in the subsequent review of the scale of assessments:

The statistical base period should be ten years;

The upper limit of the low per capita income allowance formula will be raised from $US 1,800 to $US 2,100 and the gradient of the relief granted will be raised from 75 per cent to 85 per cent. so as to compensate at least partially for the effects of world inflation since the last revision of the values of the formula;

Efforts should be made to limit the increase of individual rates of assessments to a reasonable level, and, in this context, special measures should be taken in favour of countries whose rates of assessments have already been increased at the previous review of the scale of assessments;

In view of the extremely serious economic situation (d) of the least developed countries, their individual rates of assessment should not in any way exceed the present level.
