77. In the absence of the Secretary to WP.1, the secretariat informed the World Forum that documents ECE/TRANS/WP.1/2012/8 and ECE/TRANS/WP.1/2011/4/Rev.1, dealing with the inconsistencies on lighting and light-signalling provisions as well as on the issue of ADAS in relation with the provision of the 1968 Vienna Convention on the driver’s control of the vehicle, were under consideration by WP.1. The GRE Chair expressed the concerns of GRE on the amendments by WP.1, which are still under consideration, on the proposal transmitted by WP.29 in March 2011 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/47). WP.29 agreed with his suggestion requesting WP.1 to revert to the original proposal of WP.29 and to follow ITC’s advice (see para. 4 above) to accelerate deliberations on the issue of the control of the vehicle by the driver and to increase the cooperation between WP.1 and WP.29. The GRE Chair concluded that the elimination of the inconsistencies could avoid possible technical barriers to trade. 78. The Vice-Chair recommended that WP.29 representatives should coordinate with their national representatives in WP.1 to accelerate progress on this issue. |
