18. The expert from Japan introduced GRSG-107-10-Rev.1, superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/26 on the close-proximity field of vision. This proposal excludes close proximity devices for category M1 from the scope of the UN Regulation and allows Contracting Parties to limit the application of the scope of the UN Regulation to category M1 only. He added that the intention of his proposal was to allow Contracting Parties to keep their national requirements on close-proximity field of vision when UN Regulation No. 46 would be added to List A of the regulations to be included into the new UN Regulation No. 0. GRSG noted some concerns on the possible interpretation of the 1958 Agreement that could hamper the principle of reciprocal recognition of type approvals. GRSG agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2015 session on the basis of revised proposal prepared by the expert from Japan in cooperation with interested parties.

27. The expert from Japan introduced GRSG-106-22 superseding document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/5. GRSG noted a number of concerns and different positions on the interpretation of the proposed paragraphs. GRSG agreed to set up, if necessary, a group of interested experts under the lead of Japan to clarify the interpretation issues of both UN Regulations Nos. 34 and 46. Following the discussion, GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session in October 2014, on the basis of a proposal to be tabled by the group of interested experts.
