GRSG | Session 104 | 15-19 Apr 2013

45. Upon the decision of WP.29 (see reports ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1099, para. 69 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1102, para. 73), GRSG considered both official documents ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/32 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/64 proposing amendments to UN Rule No. 2 and to UN Rule No. 1 respectively. These documents align the provisions with the corresponding European Union directives. GRSG noted a number of amendments as reflected in Annex VI of the meeting report [see the report addendum GRSG/83/Add.1]. The Chair volunteered to inform WP.29 on the results and requested the secretariat to submit the amendments to WP.29 for consideration at its session in June 2013 (see WP.29-160-11 and WP.29-160-12).

GRPE | Session 66 | 3-7 Jun 2013

7. Considering the 1997 Agreement on Periodical Technical Inspections, WP.29 adopted a revised road map (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1102, Annex II), developed by the Russian Federation and the International Motor Vehicle Inspection Committee (CITA), for the update of UN Rules. The World Forum also requested its subsidiary Working Parties (including GRPE) to consider ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/64, containing a proposal to amend UN Rule No. 1.

72. As required by WP.29, GRPE considered a proposal to amend UN Rule No. 1 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/64). The Contracting Parties of the 1997 Agreement did not express negative comments on it. GRPE endorsed the proposal.

GRB | Session 58 | 2-4 Sep 2013

30. GRB considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/64 proposing an amendment to UN Rule No.1 (environment). However, it was noted that an amendment to the corresponding EU Directive was in progress. GRB agreed to defer the adoption of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/64 awaiting the final revision of the corresponding EU Directive to fully harmonize them.

GRRF | Session 75 | 17-19 Sep 2013

44. GRRF recalled and acknowledged the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/64 in reference to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1102, para. 73.

WP.29 | Session 160 | 25-28 Jun 2013

82. The representative of Italy, Chair of GRSG, informed the World Forum that his group had endorsed two corrigenda to the draft amendments of UN Rules Nos. 1 and 2, respectively WP.29-160-11 to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/64 (UN Rule No. 1-environment) and WP.29-160-12 to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/32 (UN Rule No. 2-roadworthiness). The representative of the United Kingdom, Chair of GRRF, recalled that his group recommended deferring the adoption of the amendment to UN Rule No. 2 awaiting the final revision of the corresponding EU Directive 2010/48/EU to fully harmonize them. The representative of the Russian Federation noted that other GRs endorsed, in principle, the two proposals. He volunteered to update them in cooperation with CITA and other CPs to the Agreement, integrating the comments received.
