Background
EPPR-13-23, Excel table, containing the development of the draft OBD GTR, up to the November meeting included.

Afterwards, the EC prepared a new proposal (EPPR-14-06), which differs from the previous one both in terms of contents and layout. It was published on 08.12.2016 but not discussed during the EPPR telco of December, since such meeting focussed on EVAP only. It was taken as new version of draft OBD GTR: version No.5

Japan inserted their comments on EPPR-14-06.

Discussion
Chair introduced the 3 latest documents available (EPPR-13-23, EPPR-14-06 and 14-14) and suggested to have EPPR-14-14 introduced by JPN.

EPPR-14-06 was presented by Japan.

EC thanked Japan and asked to add the definition of default mode in their proposal. Japan agreed to provide such definition at the next meeting.

Mr Nakhawa/India requested for a study reservation, especially on issues like repair information, assessment of OBD, items relating to intellectual property which are going to be submitted to authorities.

As requested by the Chair, stakeholders were invited to send written comments by Friday 05.02.2016, in good time for a fruitful discussion at the next telephone conference early February.

India asked for a clarification on pag.28 and deemed that there was no justification for the proposal on Grade A.
