66. Having acknowledged the withdrawal of the comments from OICA (GRPE-66-33), the IWVTA ambassador introduced GRPE-66-13. He recalled that the sixty-sixth GRPE session represents a deadline for GRPE to decide about the level of priority of the UN Regulations listed in GRPE 66-13. He reminded GRPE about the need to review the candidate items applicable to IWVTA and recalled the necessity to identify sponsors for the development of each IWVTA candidate item. He did not receive any comment from Contracting Parties on changes to the expected amendments of UN Regulations.

67. The expert from OICA confirmed the withdrawal of GRPE-66-33 and expressed agreement with the A-priorities outlined in GRPE-66-13.

68. Reviewing the candidate items, GRPE confirmed that the indications on the priorities contained in GRPE-66-13 are correct. GRPE considered that the sponsors for items No. 52 and 56 cannot be identified until the WLTP UN GTR is adopted and transposed in UN Regulations Nos. 83 and 101 or into a new UN Regulation. The IWVTA requirements will need to be taken into account at the moment of transposition of the WLTP UN GTR. The sponsors in charge of the transpositions will be in charge of assuring the coherence with the IWVTA requirements.
