14. The Secretary of the informal group on Worldwide harmonized Motorcycle emission Test Cycle (WMTC) reported on the good work progress made by the group (GRPE-61-23). He introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2011/7 proposing a number of corrections to gtr No. 2 on WMTC. He also presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2011/4 proposing to insert performance requirements into gtr No. 2 and to clarify the current text. He explained that the principle limit values were based on the Japanese legislation, while the three alternative limit values were based on the Euro 3 emission level of the European Union (EU), the current limit values of India and of the United States of America. He added that the proposal should be submitted as an amendment to gtr No. 2 together with the technical report ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/133.

15. GRPE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2011/4, not amended, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.3, for consideration at their June 2011 sessions, as Amendment 2 to global technical regulation No. 2. GRPE agreed to also submit to WP.29 and AC.3 the technical report ECE/TRANS/WP.29 /2009/133.

16. GRPE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2011/7, not amended, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.3, for consideration at their June 2011 sessions, as Corrigendum 2 to gtr No. 2.

17. The expert from Japan informed GRPE about the ongoing transposition of gtr No. 2 into the national legislation of his country (GRPE-61-06).

18. The GRPE Chair congratulated the informal group for achieving the inclusion of the limit values into gtr No. 2. He recalled the need to update the GRPE website with the new WMTC gear selection sheets. He added that, as soon as Euro 4 and Euro 5 limits were adopted at the European Union level, these limit values would have to be inserted into the gtr on the basis of a further amendment. GRPE agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session.
