5. | UN Regulation No. 66 (Strength of superstructure (buses))

16. GRSG noted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2023/2, tabled by the expert from the Russian Federation. The expert from Japan did not support the proposal because of lack of consistency with the principle of mutual recognition of type approvals of the 1958 Agreement. For similar reasons, the proposal also did not receive the support of the experts from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, United Kingdom and EC. Finally, GRSG did not support the proposal. On suggestion of the GRSG Chair, it was agreed to resume consideration on a possible new proposal tabled by the expert from the Russian Federation and to remove this item from the agenda of the October 2023 session of GRSG.
