Excerpts from session reports related to this document
WP.29 | Session 158 | 13-16 Nov 2012

69. The representative of the Russian Federation introduced WP.29-158-18 proposing, in cooperation with the representative of CITA, a road map as a way forward to update the UN Rules annexed to the 1997 Agreement. He also introduced another joint proposal (WP.29-158-21) for amendments to UN Rule No. 2 (Roadworthiness) that would reduce differences with the corresponding EU Directives. On the request of the representatives of the Netherlands and Finland, WP.29 agreed to remove the O1 category of vehicles from WP.29-158-18 and WP.29-158-21, thus keeping them in line with the ongoing update of the above-mentioned Directives. Accordingly, it was agreed to resume consideration of the road map (WP.29-158-18) on the basis of a revised document with a less challenging timeline and a focus on vehicles, equipment and parts currently covered by UN Regulations. Finally, WP.29 agreed to refer WP.29-158-21 to its subsidiary bodies (GRE, GRSP, GRRF and GRSG) for detailed consideration at their next sessions.
