18. GRSP noted GRSP-56-42 (for information only) tabled by the expert from Korea and aimed at introducing the mandatory fitting of safety-belt reminders also for rear seats. GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2015 session and to keep ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2012/25 in the agenda for possible discussion at its next sessions.
