31. The experts from Norway and Sweden introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/42, amending the proposal from FIVA (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/5). At the same time the expert from FIVA introduced GRSG-128-12 explaining that the joint proposal from Norway and Sweden significantly deviated from the European Directive by introducing a completely new point ©. The expert from United Kingdom reiterated his opinion that the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) was not suitable for this request since R.E.3 deals with new vehicles. Moreover, he added that from ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/42, it may be assumed that the vehicles in question would be forty-year-old vehicles that were outside the periodic technical inspection procedures. The expert from the Netherlands agreed that definition of “Vehicle of historical interest” would be out of the remit of the 1958 Agreement and therefore from R.E.3, and suggested withdrawing this issue from the agenda of the next session of GRSG. The expert from United Kingdom explained that such vehicles were not type approved, therefore regulation should remain at the national level. The experts from Switzerland agreed with the expert from United Kingdom. Finally, GRSG agreed to remove this subject from its agenda, and to remove ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/5 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/42.
