58. The World Forum noted that this item had been postponed to a future session awaiting comments from the Working Party on Road Safety (WP.1) on the development of the Agreement and draft Rule No. 2 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/135) as well as comments from experts of GRSG, GRSP, GRE and GRRF concerning the development of draft Rule No. 2 only. The Secretary of WP.1 announced that WP.1 would consider the future development of the Agreement as well as draft Rule No. 2 at its September 2010 session. |

81. The secretary of the Working Party on Road Safety (WP.1) informed World Forum about the results of the September 2010 session of WP.1 (ECE/TRANS/WP.1/129) regarding the future development of the Agreement (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2010/72). The representative of the Russian Federation recalled that the European Agreement of 1971 supplementing the Vienna Convention imposes the obligation of the driver to carry a valid International Technical Inspection Certificate. He underlined the current absence of international requirements establishing a list of components or elements to be checked to ensure vehicle safety and setting out the methods to be used during periodic inspections and importance of draft Rule No. 2 implemented by the World Forum. He informed the World Forum about his intention to present a proposal for consideration at the next session of WP.1 in March 2011. The World Forum considered inappropriate, for the time being, that the secretariat send a letter to the signatories to the Agreement recommending their accession. 82. Regarding Draft Rule No. 2 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/135), the World Forum noted that GRE and GRSG had considered the draft and that GRSP and GRRF would consider it at their next sessions in December 2010 and February 2011 respectively. The World Forum agreed to have, on the basis of the comments received, a final review of the proposal at its March 2011 session. 83. The World Forum noted the offer by the International Motor Vehicle Inspection Committee (CITA) to continue its cooperation for the development of the 1997 Agreement, in particular for the updating of Rule No. 1 to the same level as the corresponding EU Directive. |
