The conformance regime in the revised 1958 Agreement
|
|
Reference Number: SG58-09-03
|
|
Australia and the UK propose: - New text for Article 4 (rights and obligations in cases of a non-conforming approval to a UN regulation), particularly to clarify the terminology used (threat to road safety or to the environment….) and to strengthen the provisions;
- New text in Schedule 7, Section 5 to allow the granting of individual “exemption approvals” without committing Contracting Parties to accept such approvals within their own market;
- Changes to Article 3 to clarify that the acceptance of a UN regulation that has been applied is also subject to it meeting any discretionary options allowed for within the regulation;
- Changes to Article 8 so that approvals issued by a CP automatically cease to be valid after a defined period should the CP withdraw from the Agreement; and
- UK acceptance of text proposed by Australia to address CP’s that do not have approval authorities.
