24. The expert from the Netherlands, chairing the informal group on Camera-Monitor Systems (CMS), reported on the work progress made by the group during its meetings held in Cologne on 5-6 February 2014 and in Berlin on 27-28 March 2014 (GRSG-106-08). He announced the intention of CMS to submit, for consideration at the next GRSG session, a final proposal to allow replacement of all mirrors with camera-monitor systems and added that GRSG would be in the position to adopt the proposal in May 2015 at earliest. He concluded that the mandate of CMS was limited to end of 2014 and expressed the group’s wish to extend the mandate by one year. The GRSG Chair volunteered to seek the consent of WP.29, at its June 2014 session, for extending the mandate until the end of 2015. The expert from OICA announced the organization, for the next session of GRSG, of a demonstration of vehicles equipped with camera-monitor systems.
