The purpose of this proposal is to add transitional provisions to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 101, to solve a discrepancy between the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 and the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 101.

22. The expert from the UK introduced GRPE-63-02, proposing a corrigendum to UN Regulation No. 83. After having considered comments received during the GRPE session from other experts, he volunteered to submit an updated proposal on UN Regulation No. 83.

23. The expert from OICA submitted a proposal to add transitional provisions to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101 (GRPE-63-08), to align the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83 with the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101.

24. GRPE agreed and requested the secretariat to distribute GRPE-63-08 as an official document for consideration at the next GRPE session in June 2012.

25. The expert from OICA introduced GRPE-63-16, proposing to align UN Regulation No. 83 with the EU Regulation No. 566/2011. He explained that the initial transposition of the Euro 5 requirements initially into UN Regulation No. 83 could not take these amendments into account because they were still under discussion.

26. The expert from Poland raised a concern on the definition of cold start suggested by the text. The expert from OICA agreed that this issue should be analysed before submitting an official working document.

27. The GRPE Chair invited the experts from OICA to prepare an updated version of the proposal taking into account the comments received and to send it in due time to the secretariat.

GRPE proposal based on a submission from OICA to add transitional provisions to the 01 series of amendments to UN R101 and to resolve a discrepancy between the 06 series of amendments to UN R83 and the 01 series of amendments to UN R101.

Proposal unanimously adopted.
