70. The expert from CEMA introduced GRVA-15-45 and updated GRVA on their activities regarding cyber security. He informed GRVA on the European situation regarding UN Regulation No. 155 and the European Union (EU) Cyber-Resilience Act (CRA) passed in 2022. He compared both legal instruments and stated that CRA put more responsibility on the supply chain than UN Regulation No. 155 and that CRA was based on self-certification.

71. The expert from Germany noted significant differences between the two acts, one being general/horizontal and the other one being vertical/for the sector. The expert from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland agreed with Germany and stated that he liked to see an appropriate cyber security regulation covering agricultural vehicles. He stated that a horizontal regulation was very appropriate for domestic appliances and connected toys but not for agricultural vehicles. The expert from Denmark agreed with this statement too. He recommended to include vehicles of Category T. He suggested to exclude towed vehicles of Category S. The expert from Italy proposed to postpone that item until May 2023.

72. GRVA agreed to resume discussions in May 2023 on the inclusion of agricultural vehicles in UN Regulation No. 155. Some European parties agreed to evaluate the impact of the EU CRA on the agricultural vehicle and machinery sector until the May 2023 session.
