A/HRC/6/22 page 158 4. It is anticipated that the unexpended balance arising from the discontinuation of the Working Group on Contemporary Forms of Slavery, in the biennium 2006-2007, will be utilized for the implementation of previously approved decisions of the Council for which it was intended to be implemented within the existing appropriation. 5. The provision foreseen under section 23, Human rights, of the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009 will be reprogrammed to cover the resource requirements of this resolution, estimated at $85,500 per year under section 23, Human rights. No additional appropriations will be required as a result of the adoption of this resolution. 6. Regarding the remaining provision of $217,600 under section 2 and $6,600 under section 28 E in the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009, originally foreseen for the Working Group on Contemporary Forms of Slavery, it is anticipated that it will be reprogrammed in the light of the continuing review by the Council of its subsidiary machinery in response to General Assembly resolution 60/251. The consolidated statement of requirements arising from the continuing review by the Council and potential absorptive capacity from reduced requirements arising from the revised programme of work under the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009 will be reported to the General Assembly. 7. Since the period of the appointment of the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery extends into the biennium 2010-2011, the requirements for that period will be considered in the context of the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2010-2011. 8. With regard to paragraph 8, attention is drawn to the provisions of section VI of General Assembly resolution 45/248 B of 21 December 1990, in which the Assembly reaffirmed that the Fifth Committee was the appropriate Main Committee of the Assembly entrusted with responsibilities for administrative and budgetary matters, and reaffirmed the role of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions. 6/15.
