104. The expert from Japan, Chair of IWG on IWVTA, Mr. T. Omori, introduced himself as the new Chair of the IWG and informed WP.29 of the recent promotion of the former Chair, to another position within the Government of Japan. He then introduced the document WP.29‑187‑19 with a report of the last meeting of the group, including the request to extend the mandate of the IWG for four years in order to upgrade the annex 4 (list of UN Regulations applicable to IWVTA) of UN Regulation No. 0 annually, to come up with the procedure to include new UN Regulations to IWVTA, to increase attractiveness of IWVTA and to settle outstanding issues with transitional provisions.

105. The IWG on IWVTA proposed a new 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 0, as set out in document WP.29-187-20, proposing to take out the elements related to lighting regulations.

106 The representative of the European Commission requested clarification about the rationale for removing the lighting devices regulations. The representative of OICA clarified that this would reduce administrative burden as approval according to lighting regulations was a prerequisite to gain approval under UN Regulation No. 48 on Installation of Light and Light-Signalling Devices.

107. WP.29 requested the secretariat to convert the document WP.29-187-20 with necessary amendments, if any, into an official document for the November 2022 session of WP.29.

108. WP. 29 endorsed the proposal to extend the mandate of the IWG on IWVTA until June 2026.
