23. The expert from the Russian Federation reported on the feedback from GRBP experts on the Draft Resolution on Road Surface Labelling (GRBP-70-11). He indicated that replies had been received from Austria, Finland, France, Norway, Russian Federation, Switzerland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. According to the expert, the main conclusions of the survey were as follows:
- The Draft Resolution on Road Surface Labelling (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2019/2) in many aspects does not seem suitable for international implementation;
- There was not much interest expressed to pursue the issue of grading and labelling road surfaces in the framework of GRBP;
- GRBP and WP.29 do not seem to be appropriate fora to consider this issue, as it is currently out of their scope;
- The issue should be communicated to the European Committee for Standardization (its technical committee CEN/TC 227) and/or to the relevant ISO technical committee, if available.

GRBP agreed to the above conclusions and requested its Chair to bring them to the attention of WP.29.
