67. The secretariat introduced GRRF-81-27 under agenda item 6 (see para. 28 above).

68. The Chief of the Vehicle Regulations and Transport Innovations Section, Mr. W. Nissler, informed GRPE about the abolishment of four General Service (G) posts within the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) as decided by the UN General Assembly on 23 December 2015. He explained that a G post was abolished in the Vehicle Regulations and Transport Innovations Section since 1 January 2016 due to the immediate retirement of the current incumbent. He hoped that this unfortunate situation would not affect future services to be provided by the section.
