- India asked what the EC meant by ‘global harmonization of testing equipment’ and what was the purpose of this, and added regional test equipment should not be restricted by this.

- Korea and India noted that the information shown by TRL at slide no. 15 contained a mistake and would give the correct information on legislative bodies involved in regulations in their countries.
- The chairman invited all CPs and stakeholders of the group to respond to the questionnaire as this will bring important input to the work of the EPPR group.
