30. Recalling the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/5 to increase the safety benefits of the driver’s field of vision and the pedestrian safety in narrow streets, the expert from Japan introduced GRSG-105-25 proposing some amendments to the initial proposal and a roadmap for further proceedings. GRSG noted a number of concerns by the experts from the EC, Germany, Hungary and the United Kingdom and OICA (GRSG-105-17). GRSG did not agree to split UN Regulation No. 46 with respect to different vehicle categories. Following the discussion, GRSG agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its next session in May 2014 on the basis of a revised document by Japan, taking into account the comments received.
