32. The expert from CLEPA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2012/25 taking into account technical progress. He showed the efficiency of a new kind of hardware in both daytime and night-time ambient light conditions with a practical demonstration in the car park Level B of the Palais des Nations. He also raised the question of the use of private standards and copyrights. GRE agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its next session on the basis of a revised proposal and, agreed to keep on the agenda ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2012/25 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2011/46 for further consideration.
