53. GRPE was informed by the secretariat about the updated guidelines on transitional provisions and the additional guidelines on the scope, administrative provisions and alternative requirements in Regulations (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/48). These general guidelines are still under consideration by WP.29 and are intended to provide guidance to the experts developing new and/or amending existing UNECE Regulations especially in drafting the scope, administrative provisions and alternative requirements. GRPE noted that this proposal would supersede, once adopted by WP.29, the current guidelines for transitional provisions (TRANS/WP.29/1044). GRPE agreed to consider eventual comments on the guidelines at its next session in June 2011.
