The expert from Spain mentioned that UN Regulation No. 90 was used in various countries not being Contracting Party to the 1958 Agreement and that therefore the issue raised concerning customs could be valid. The expert from Spain stated that Transitional Provisions could be added to the document.

The expert from the Russian Federation agreed to submit a revised proposal for consideration at the September 2019 session of GRVA.
