20. Concerning the reintroduction of side-facing seats (see para. 17), GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/7 as amended by Annex III to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their November 2011 sessions, as draft Supplement 2 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 16. The expert from Japan withdrew GRSP-49-20.

21. As agreed for Regulation No. 14 (see para. 19), GRSP referred GRSP-49-07 to the informal group on CRS for discussion and requested the informal group to submit a revised proposal as an official document to the December 2011 session of GRSP.

21. The expert from the Netherlands introduced GRSP-50-02 in order to provide an installation procedure for CRS that takes into account the position of the seat in front of that to be tested. The expert from OICA raised a study reservation on the proposal. Finally, GRSP agreed to resume consideration on this matter at its May 2012 session on the basis of a revised proposal jointly prepared by the experts from the Netherlands and OICA.

22. The expert from Spain introduced GRSP-50-15, to allow the installation of universal ISOFIX rearward facing child restraint systems as defined in UN Regulation No. 44.

23. The Chair of the informal working group on CRS, introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/23 prepared by his group to match the provisions of UN Regulation No. 16 with those of draft UN Regulation on CRS.

The secretariat was requested to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2012 sessions for the time being as draft [Supplement 3 to the 06 series of amendments] making the same recommendation for its adoption by WP.29 and AC.1 as per UN Regulation No. 14 (see para. 20).
