41. The Chair of GRE reported on the results of the seventy-second session of GRE (for details, see the report of the session ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/72).
42. [The GRE chair] informed WP.29 about the deliberations of GRE and its newly established IWG “Simplification of the Lighting and Light-Signalling Regulations” (IWG SLR) to streamline UN Regulations under GRE’s responsibility. GRE adopted the ToR and Rules of Procedure for SLR, which would be submitted to WP.29 for approval. WP.29 gave its consent to establish the IWG. For the purposes of simplification and in line with the ideas of SLR, the expert from IEC proposed to separate data sheets for various light sources from Annex 1 to UN Regulations Nos. 37, 99 and 128 and to place them in a repository document administered by WP.29 (WP.29-164-18). WP.29 endorsed the proposed approach.
43. Finally, the Chair of GRE reported on his Group’s efforts to reach a consensus for amending the daytime running lamp (DRL) provisions in Regulation No. 48, upon the request of the IWG on IWVTA and for the purpose of listing Regulation No. 48 in the annex of UN Regulation No. 0. Referring to the time pressure to find a solution on this, the representative of OICA expressed his preference to remove the installation requirements for DRL from Regulation No. 48 and to insert them into Regulation No. 87, as proposed also by the IWG on IWVTA. Finally, WP.29 urged GRE to find, in close cooperation with the stakeholders, the best solution.
44. WP.29 noted that GRE had elected Mr. M. Loccufier (Belgium) as the new Chair and had re-elected Mr. D. Rovers (Netherlands) as Vice-Chair of GRE for the sessions scheduled in 2015.
