Geneva
Agenda Item 5.1.
Status of the 1998 Agreement, including the implementation of paragraph 7.1

70. The World Forum noted the consolidated document containing the status of the Agreement (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1073/Rev.15). WP.29 also noted that San Marino had become a Contracting Party to the Agreement, effective on 26 January 2016. 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 their 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 mandatorily requested by United Nations Office of Legal Affairs (UN OLA). The World Forum noted that these reports and notifications were not processed if submitted by e-mail to the secretariat.

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