37. With reference to the discussion held under agenda item 4 (see paras. 7-8), concerning the proposal to introduce the Flex-PLI into the draft Regulation (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2011/14), GRSP agreed to resume discussion at its December 2011 session on the basis of the outcome of the informal group. GRSP also agreed that the Regulation would not provide any monitoring period for the introduction of the Flex-PLI, to prevent that legal texts would be used as research instruments.

38. GRSP agreed to resume consideration on the proposals of amendments and corrigenda to the draft Regulation on pedestrian safety (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2010/127) at its December 2011 session.

36. With reference to the discussion under agenda item 4(b) (see paras. 8-10), GRSP agreed to defer discussion on this agenda item to its May 2012 session, awaiting the adoption of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/148.
