42. GRSG noted a recommendation by the Chairs of the Working Parties subsidiary to WP.29 to insert the new provisions for granting revisions and extension to type approvals into the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) and to refer in the corresponding UN Regulations to that part of R.E.3 (see report ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1104, para. 19). GRSG also noted that the World Forum was expected to consider a concrete proposal for a new Annex A.5 to the R.E.3 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/126) during the forthcoming session in November 2013. The expert from OICA announced that the informal group on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) already inserted the new provisions on revisions and extension to type approvals into draft Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/134).

43. Recalling the adoption of draft amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 18, 34, 35, 43 and 58 at its previous session, GRSG agreed to reconsider the follow-up actions of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/8, awaiting the decision of WP.29.
