69. The World Forum noted the consolidated document on the status of the Agreement (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1073/Rev.12). WP.29 also noted that Belarus became a Contracting Party to the Agreement, effective on 3 March 2015. The secretariat reported that some Contracting Parties had fulfilled their obligation to send their status reports and final notifications on the progress of transposition of the UN GTRs, and amendments into their domestic law. The representatives of the Contracting Parties were reminded about their obligation to send the reports and final notifications on the transposition process only through their Permanent Missions in Geneva via the “1998 AGREEMENT-MISSIONS List” electronic system, as mandated by UN OLA. The World Forum noted that these reports and notifications were not processed if submitted by e-mail to the secretariat.

70. WP.29 agreed that agenda items 5.2 to 5.5 should be considered by AC.3.
