- The first task of the group will be to prepare and submit final ToR including scope and priorities of the tasks as well as a roadmap for the work for the next GRPE meeting in June 2013.
There is a principle agreement on the proposed Terms of Reference (see doc. EPPR-01-02)
- The group has a common understanding that ‘98 agreement should be the basis for the work. EC reminded though not to forget the ‘58 agreement.
- The GTR no 2 is a good basis to build on and should be the basis for further development.
- Japan, India, Italy and IMMA would like to see priority on L3-category. EC insists on covering all ’low powered’ vehicles, and prefers to open GTR2 for mopeds. Further bilateral discussions will be needed, preferably before next IWG meeting.
- Japan requested to put priority on Evaporative emissions and OBD.
- It was agreed on request by Japan to avoid overlap/confusion with the EVE group, when it comes to (H)EV’s. Further discussion with EVE IWG should take place.
- TRL’s study (stocktaking, …) will be an important input to the group.
- Next IWG meetings:

• o 2-3 days in the week of 22 April 2013 (exact dates to be confirmed asap). Venue: Brussels (EC DG ENTR)
• o 7 June 2013 (PM), half day in conjunction with 66th GRPE. Venue: Geneva
• o 2-3 days in Oct/Nov 2013. India kindly volunteered to host and will soon make a proposal for exact date(s).
