33. The expert from Italy presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2019/3 which introduced a reference to WLTP as an alternative for emission tests stated in UN Regulation No. 115. GRPE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2019/3.

34. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2019/3 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2019 sessions as draft Supplement 8 to UN Regulation No. 115.

35. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2019/6 that aligns the provisions of the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 24 with UN Regulation No. 85 on engine power measurement. GRPE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2019/6.

36. The expert from the Russian Federation introduced GRPE-78-07 on a proposal to extend the scope of UN Regulation No. 24 to agricultural vehicles of Category T. The expert from EC stated that vehicles of Category T were covered by UN Regulations No. 96 and 120 instead of UN Regulation No. 24. The representatives from Italy, UK, EC and EUROMOT expressed positions against the proposal. GRPE rejected the adoption of GRPE-78-07.

37. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2019/6 to WP.29 and the AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2019 sessions as draft Supplement 5 to the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 24.

38. The expert from OICA presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2019/7 proposing to amend, in UN Regulation No. 85, the wording of the description of auxiliaries to be fitted for testing to reduce potential testing burden. The experts from Netherlands, France, UK and EC did not see the benefit in some part of the proposal and would only support the proposed amendments contained in the first paragraph of the proposal. GRPE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2019/7 as amended by Annex IX.

39. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit Annex IX of the report to WP.29 and the AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2019 sessions as draft Supplement 9 to UN Regulation No. 85.
