Mr. D’Alamo, at the GRSG meeting in April discussed the LNG amendments with the European Commission representative. (Mr. Rijnders had requested that the LNG Task Force co-secretaries contact the European Commission staff responsible to the GRSG about the LNG amendments to R.110, Antony Lagrange Legislative Officer Industrie Automobile. NGVAe and NGV Global agree that they should meet together with the European Commission staff person responsible to the GRSG to keep him apprised of the final amendments.

Mr. Seisler presented the report on the LNG Task Force activities (GFV-20-06, also presented by Mr. Del Alamo at the GRSG meeting in April). He adds that the development of the LNG amendments has been a very smooth consensus process. These regulations should achieve a timely confluence with the HDDF regulations and that will lead to an opening of the market for L-NGVs. Furthermore, the R110 regulations could provide a foundation for the development of regulations for marine applications.

Mr. Renaudin reminds the group of the schedule for ultimate approval by WP29 could be in June 2013 (maybe March 2013?) since the documentation would not be in time to be considered by the November WP29 meeting.

Mr. Rijnders indicated that if R.110 is adopted with the amendments it would be applicable for type approval for all European countries.
