He added that discussion was ongoing on a new wording in the preamble and a final agreement on HIT. He introduced the text of the proposed amendment to the preamble (GRSP-72-08) and the amendment to the text of the regulation (GRP-72-09 amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2022/2). Finally, he informed GRSP that the final report of IWG would be submitted to the May 2023 session of GRSP.
