49. The Co-Chair of the IWG on EPPR introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2022/6 and GRPE-85-38, as reflected in Addendum 2, containing the latest draft for Amendment 5 to UN GTR No. 2.

The Chair required a confirmation that the part II of Addendum 2 would not be modified by the time it is considered by WP.29. The Co-Chair and Secretary of the IWG on EPPR confirmed that part II would not be modified, except for minor editorial improvements.
