GRE | Session 67 | 26-29 Mar 2012

2. GRE noted GRE-67-23 including all the informal documents and new items in the
provisional agenda. GRE agreed to insert new agenda items 4(a)(viii), 4(a)(ix), 15(g)(i),
15(g)(ii), 15(g)(iii), 15(g)(iv) and 15(g)(v), and adopted the agenda proposed for the sixty-seventh session (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2012/1 as amended by Add.1 and Corr.1).

3. GRE noted that the reports of the November 2011 and March 2012 sessions of the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) were available at the WP.29 website (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1093 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1095). The following major issues of the sessions were highlighted:

(a) Situation on the delays in the publishing procedure of documentation;

(b) Availability of documentation in the three authentic languages;

(c) Instructions and rules of the UN Office of Legal Affairs (OLA) for Corrigenda, specifying that Corrigenda should aim exclusively at correcting, without modifying the meaning or substance of the text of the treaty: (a) physical errors on typing, printing, spelling … (b) lack of conformity of the treaty with the official records, and/or (c) lack of concordance between the texts of the different authentic languages;

(d) Recommendations from OLA that the terms “UN Regulations”, “UN Global Technical Regulations” and “UN Rules” could be used in administrative and informative documents, but not in legal documents (subject to a revision of the text of the 1958, 1997 and 1998 Agreements).
