| GRPE | Session 65 | 15-18 Jan 2013 |
45. GRPE agreed to appoint Petter Asman (Sweden) as Chair of the EPPR group, while secretariat services will be assured by Thomas Vercammen (IMMA). The Chair of the EPPR informal working group introduced GRPE-65-15 (containing background information, terms of reference and rules of procedure of the informal group), clarifying that it should be considered as a discussion draft. He stated that this document is going to be discussed in EPPR meetings before being resubmitted to GRPE, in June 2013, in a revised form, for final approval. He invited all interested stakeholders to participate in the first group meeting, scheduled after the GRPE session, to discuss it. He agreed with the suggestion by the GRPE Chair that the EPPR group should take a two-step approach, focused first on the review of a suitable roadmap, and later on its execution. 46. The expert from India conveyed his support for this activity, but expressed concerns about the timeline currently outlined, questioning whether it is realistic to assure the delivery of results. He suggested prioritizing the tasks, giving preference to L3 category vehicles because of their global relevance. The expert from IMMA supported an approach focused first on the development of a roadmap, and then focusing on the development of UN GTR. He also confirmed the concerns raised by India on the current timeline. The expert from Japan stressed the need to avoid any overlap with the activity of the informal working group on Electric Vehicles and the Environment (EVE). The Chair of the EVE group offered his contribution and help to assure that this will not be the case. 47. GRPE agreed with the approach suggested and endorsed the decision to further discuss updated terms of reference and rules of procedure in its next session. GRPE also invited the EPPR informal group to submit a proposal for a roadmap, indicating which portions of the work fall under the scope of the 1958 Agreement (ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2) and which fall under the 1998 Agreement (ECE/TRANS/132 and Corr.1) and outlining the expected timeframe for amendment of existing UN Regulations and UN GTRs and/or new regulatory texts. |
