58. The representative of the EU gave a presentation (WP.29-157-23) on the last report (6 June 2012) of the Competitive Automotive Regulatory System for the 21st Century (CARS 21) set up by the EU, including members States, industry and NGOs. He clarified that CARS 21 had been relaunched in 2010 to develop a strategic vision by 2020 in line with the expectations of all key stakeholders of the European automotive sector, both authorities and industry. He added that CARS 21 had considered, as priority issues, the amendment of the 1958 Agreement and the development of an IWVTA (international whole vehicle type approval). The amendment of the 1958 Agreement should have two major purposes: strengthening the mutual recognition of the type approvals by Contracting Parties, and enhancing the attractiveness of the Agreement for potential new Contracting Parties. The final report of CARS 21 is available at: ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/automotive/files/cars-21-final-report-2012_en.pdf. We provide a link to the CARS 21 final report above.
