61. The secretariat introduced a recommendation on Article 15.3 of Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement (WP.29-172-27). WP.29 asked to keep the document on the agenda for its November 2017 session for consideration and adoption.

62. The World Forum considered the issue of implementing Article 15.3 of the amended 1958 Agreement (Revision 3) on the legal processing of new UN Regulations and amendments to existing UN Regulations which were adopted before the entry into force of Revision 3. Following an exchange of views and considering that no Contracting Party had raised concern on this subject, WP.29 recommended that for the legal processing of new UN Regulations and amendments to existing UN Regulations which were adopted before the entry into force of the amended 1958 Agreement, all Contracting Parties shall follow the procedures of Revision 3.

63. WP.29 noted the request by the IWG on IWVTA for a common position by the Contracting Parties (according to Article 15.3 of the 1958 Agreement) on the follow-up of administrative procedures (SG58-22-05). Thus, the IWG on IWVTA had recommended also for existing UN Regulations to follow the new procedures (in particular the conformity of production) of Revision 3, once it entered into force. Contracting Parties with concerns about this approach were invited to send their comments to the secretariat.
