3. The expert from the EC reported on the progress made by the informal group on Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS). He presented an amendment to the Terms of Reference (AEBS-LDWS-01-07-Rev.3) necessary for completing the second step of work by the Informal Group. GRRF endorsed this amendment as reproduced in Annex II to this report. He reminded the Working Party that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/92/Amend.1 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/93/Amend.1 were listed on the agenda of the November 2012 session of WP.29. He expected that the European Union would be in position to vote at that session.

4. GRRF noted that the informal group resumed its work on technical requirements on AEBS for vehicles of the category N2 below eight tons as well as the category M2. OICA presented their review of the issues associated with applying the technology to these vehicle classes noting the lack of real world experience (AEBS-LDWS-17-02-Rev.1). The expert from the EC reminded GRRF about the tight time line and the necessity to produce an informal document before the next session of GRRF to finish the work on time. GRRF noted the intention of the informal group to convene again in Paris on 7 December 2012 and in Geneva on 18 February 2013.
