61. The Chair of the informal group on developing DETA reported on the work progress made by the group at its meeting held in Geneva, on 12 March 2012. Referring to the discussion at the November 2011 session of WP.29, he reiterated the need for consent or a decision from WP.29 on a number of administrative and legal issues listed in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2012/35. He introduced WP.29-156-24 proposing a feasible roadmap for the further development of DETA. The representative of the Netherlands recalled that the initial goal of DETA was aimed at simplifying the markings of components and, therefore, especially invited CLEPA and GTB to participate in the informal meetings. The representative of United States of America raised concerns on the prioritization of requested financing scheme for DETA, given the limited resources of the WP.29 secretariat.
