Revised comments by the GRB secretariat concerning the IMMA proposal (document GRB-58-01) to permit the granting of certificates to the previous series of amendments through December 2013 rather than up to the date of the entry into force of the 04 series of amendments of UN R41.
5. The expert from IMMA introduced GRB-58-01, proposing an amendment to the transitional provisions of the UN Regulation. In the meantime GRB also considered GRB-58-11-Rev.1, aligning GRB-58-01 to the General Guidelines for UN Regulatory Procedures and Transitional Provisions in UN Regulations (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1044/Rev.1). Finally, GRB adopted GRB-58-01, as reproduced in Annex II to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit GRB-58-01 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2014 sessions as part of (see paras. 3 and 4) draft Supplement 1 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 41. Moreover, GRB agreed to keep GRB-58-11-Rev.1 as a reference in its agenda of the January 2014 session, awaiting a possible proposal of full revision of the transitional provisions of the UN Regulation.
