He explained that, in December 2017, the secretariat would submit the adopted text to the March 2018 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1, upon the understanding that any possible modifications that were decided by GRB in January 2018, could exceptionally be submitted to WP.29 as a corrigendum or an addendum to the original WP.29 document.

The GRB chair further informed the delegates that GRB was preparing a new draft Regulation on reversing alarm and would cooperate with GRSG on the scope of this Regulation for various vehicle categories in conjunction with other safety devices for moving backward, like rear view cameras and parking sensors.

38. WP.29 noted that GRB had re-elected Mr. S. Ficheux (France) as Chair and Mr. A. Bocharov (Russian Federation) as Vice-Chair for the year 2018.
