29. Mr. Rijnders will evaluate the regulation to update it to the highest possible level reflecting the newest changes and new levels of stringency in other various regulations (i.e. the various Euro levels).

30. Oliver Eberhardt (German Federal Ministry of Environment) suggested that R.115 is outdated and more attuned to Euro 3. Consideration of in-use conformity and OBD are important and also should be evaluated. Germany suggested that identifying the possible improvements and issues could be done in a general brainstorming exercise.

31. Mr. Rijnders expressed his agreement and suggested other items such as a revision of family definitions and possible introduction of SEMs can be added to the type approval for retrofit systems. As such the ‘brain-storming’ process could be important and very useful.

32. Mr. Renaudin fully supported this effort on behalf of OICA.
