31. The Chair of the informal group on Retrofit Emissions Control devices (REC) reported on the progress made by the group (GRPE-63-29). He reported on solved and on outstanding issues. He addressed the need to deal with different stringency levels in the UN Regulation under preparation. He mentioned that this could be solved by drafting the original version of the UN Regulation and, in parallel, a first series of amendments. This approach would be in line with article 12 of the 1958 agreement. Referring to outstanding issues, he noted that it would be difficult to fulfil the task in the original timeframe and requested an extension of the mandate for another two years. 32.
