The Chairman, Mr Baarbé, welcomed all to the REC kick-off meeting and meeting participants introduced themselves (attendance list attached as REC-01-04).

Germany noted that many retrofit schemes in Europe use the German Regulation Anlage XXVII and they see this as a basis for any proposed regulation. The Netherlands also commented that they have a retrofit system in place and the UK expressed an interest in retrofit for helping to meet air quality requirements.

The meeting agenda (meeting document REC-01-01) was adopted without change.
