European Commission report on the effort to transpose the GTR on light vehicle emissions into UN type approval regulations, including handling of current UN Regulations on emissions (notably, UN R83 and UN R101) and process for implementing the WLTP requirements.
20. The expert from EC presented a status report on the WLTP Task Force dealing with the transposition of WLTP into the 1958 Agreement (GRPE-74-20). He informed that the Task Force had not met yet, but the first meeting would take place in February 2017. For the [adaptation] of the 1958 Agreement to include WLTP, he explained the intention was to follow a two-step approach: first, introduction of transitional provisions in Regulations Nos. 83 and 101 (see paras. 11-13 above); second, full transposition of GTR No. 15 into new Regulations under the 1958 Agreement. He recalled previous presentations by EC and the Secretariat on possible ways to structure these new Regulations (GRPE-72-18 and GRPE-73-26).
21. GRPE agreed to further discuss the transposition of WLTP into the 1958 Agreement at the next GRPE session on the basis of the work carried out by the WLTP Task Force dealing with this topic.
