46. The representative from the European Commission, Co-chair of the IWG on RDE, introduced GRPE-87-51, requested a delay in the authorization to develop a new UN GTR on Global RDE. The representative from the US, Co-Chair of the IWG on RDE, supported the proposal and added that the activities would be paused and not ended, as the topic was important and should be tackled as soon as possible. As consequence, the Chair declared that the activities of the IWG on RDE are put on-hold until further notice.

47. GRPE adopted GRPE-87-51, as reflected in Annex IX to the session report, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2023 sessions as revised authorization to develop a UN GTR on Global Real Driving Emissions (RDE).
