[EU has begun the process of integrating the provisions of this new regulation into EU law; however, certain steps must be taken internally to establish the legal basis for its implementation. Therefore, the EU requests postponement of this vote at least until June and most probably until the November WP.29 session.]

As noted in paragraph 53 under agenda item 4.12 above, the World Forum agreed to defer consideration of this item to its next session. The EU has not yet completed its internal review of the proposed regulation, but strongly suspects it will be positioned for a positive vote in November.

Proposal unanimously adopted.
