9. The expert from EC introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2016/4 aimed at correcting the calculation of the vehicle coast down resistance to progress force in the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83.

10. The expert from OICA drew the attention to the confusion and administrative burden that could be created by the proposal if requirements were not aligned between the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83, as well as with Regulation No. 101. He expressed his concern on the possible impact this may have on the CO2 emissions type approval value and, thus, on the correlation program between WLTP and the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). He suggested considering amendments to the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 and to Regulation No. 101 as an entire package at the next GRPE session.

11. The Chair of GRPE suggested adopting the proposal not only for the 07 series but also for the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 since the text and the paragraph numbering were the same in both cases. The experts from the Netherlands, UK and T&E expressed their support to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2016/4. The expert from EC volunteered to review Regulation No. 101 to align it with this proposal at the next GRPE session in June 2016. He also clarified that the correlation program between WLTP and NEDC ensuring that both tests were properly coupled would not be affected by this proposal.

12. GRPE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2016/4 with the following correction:
Title of the document, amend to read:
“Proposal for a new Supplement to the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 (Emissions of M1 and N1 vehicles).”

13. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1) for consideration and vote at their June 2016 sessions as draft Supplement 7 to the 06 series of amendments and draft Supplement 3 to the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83.

14. The expert from Italy presented GRPE-72-03 on amendments to Regulation No. 83 to introduce the possibility to inhibit the driver inducement system of rescue and police service vehicles.

15. The expert from OICA supported the proposal and its alignment with Regulation No. 49. The expert from the Netherlands agreed in principle with the proposal but expressed a reservation to further examine the possible drawbacks such as the exemption proposed for specific vehicles when becoming publicly available. The expert from T&E supported this reservation and underlined the need to reinsert the initial system when these vehicles abandon the rescue and police services in the second hand market.

16. The Chair invited the expert from Italy to submit an updated proposal as an official document at the next GRPE session taking into account the comments received.

17. The expert from OICA presented GRPE-72-05 reproducing ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2016/28 aimed at reintroducing a sentence that was inadvertently deleted out in the original proposal and then in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2015/57 adopted at the 166th session of WP.29. He recalled that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2016/28 had been already submitted by the secretariat to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2016 sessions, subject to the endorsement of GRPE at this session, to reintroduce the sentence.

18. The expert from Germany agreed with ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2016/28 and announced the intention of Germany to submit a proposal at the next GRPE session to further improve the requirements on the total number of failures simulated when testing the malfunction indicator.

19. GRPE endorsed ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2016/28 to be considered by WP.29 and AC.1 at their March 2016 sessions.

20. The expert from EC presented GRPE-72-14 and GRPE-72-15 aimed at providing clarifications and correcting errors to the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 respectively. He confirmed that there was no need to modify the 05 series of amendments.

21. GRPE agreed in principle with both proposals and requested the secretariat to combine them in a single document to be distributed with an official symbol at the next GRPE session.
