Referring to the endorsement of WP.29 of the new priority given to the protection of children left in cars (see para. 63 above), the representative of Australia underlined the relevance of this topic and suggested the development of a UN GTR on this topic. The representative of the United States of America stated the urgency of this topic and that this matter was a priority for the administration of his country. However, he stated that the development of UN GTR at this stage was premature and recommended to plan this activity in adherence to the provisions established by the Agreement: (a) collect statistical data at the national level, (b) recommend Contracting Parties to submit their national standards/legislations for being established in the Compendium of candidates as basis for the development of UN GTR and (c) finally develop a thorough authorization to develop the work to be endorsed by AC.3 and addressed by AC.3 to the competent GR.
