The EC submitted comments to the draft minutes (document EPPR-01-08e).

India asked EC to clarify the issue of reference temperature of dilution air. The EC explained this was just for calculation of emission result.

Regarding Type VI (low ambient emissions), India requested to clearly mention in the minutes that this test type will not be discussed by the group.

Japan asked why EC changed ‘confirmed’ into ‘can agree’. The EC explained they are fine to make developments first under ’98, but they do not want to forget about the ’58 agreement. Initial proposal by EC was to work in parallel (‘98-‘58). But as other stakeholders prefer to put priority on ’98 agreement, EC has accepted that as long as it is clear that ‘58 agreement is also covered.

The secretary revised the minutes according to the comments by the EC (document EPPR-01-07-Rev1) and the minutes were adopted.
