| REC | Session 11 | 6 Jun 2012 |
a. Main outcomes of previous REC meetings Baarbé said the group is still working on the principle of a two level approach. Therefore it becomes necessary that enough Contracting Parties (at least 20 %) still apply level 1 when the amendment (Rev. 01) introducing level 2 comes into force. To date only Russia stated that it was interested to retain level 1, but further discussions at the GRPE plenary meeting on 7 June are seen to be necessary to get feedback from other Contracting Parties. Baarbé and Martinez explained that in accordance with Council Decision 97/836/EC of 27 November 1997 member states of European Union have to take a uniform position on how to implement an ECE Regulation based on the 1958 Agreement. b. REC letter circulated to the GRPE delegates (doc. REC-11-02): see above. c. REC editorial meeting held on 22 May 2012 in Brussels: There were no comments. d. Discussion and questions: There were no comments. |
