95. The representative of Germany, co-Chair of the informal working group on Phase 2 of UN GTR No. 9, recalled that the third progress report (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/36) had been adopted, as amended by WP.29-159-20, at the December 2012 session of GRSP. AC.3 adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/36, as amended by Annex III of the session report.

5.1. Status report and extension of the mandate of the Informal Group

The chair reported from the discussion in GRSP in December 2013: The request to extend the mandate was presented to GRSP with document GRSP-52-32 (third progress report). Representatives accepted the request and it was also presented to WP.29 (WP.29-159-20) in March 2013 (the week before this meeting). Unfortunately, the 5th meeting was too close to GRSP so that it could not be presented in the third progress report. It is therefore planned to now prepare a further progress report, summarizing the discussion in the 5th and the 6th meeting, that will be presented to the May 2013 session of GRSP and then to the June 2013 session of WP.29.

(Note of the secretary: Action item A-5-10 was consequently closed.)
