WP.29 | Session 152 | 9-12 Nov 2010 |
39. The GRSG Vice-Chair informed the World Forum about the results made by GRSG during its ninety-ninth session (for more details see the report of the session ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/78). 40. He reported that GRSG had proposed to set up, subject to the consent of the World Forum, an informal group, chaired by Germany, to amend Regulation No. 43 with regard to plastic glazing. He added that the expert from OICA had volunteered to provide secretariat services for this group. The informal group should conclude its tasks by April 2013. The World Forum gave its consent, subject to the approval, at its March 2011 session, of the terms of reference and rules of procedure of the informal group, which would be annexed to the report of GRSG. 41. He reported that GRSG had been informed about the GRE request to take on the responsibility of Regulations Nos. 60 and 121. GRSG was of the opinion that they should remain under its responsibility because these Regulations were transversal and that GRSG was already dealing with tell-tales for motorcycles and the field of vision of the driver. He mentioned that GRSG had agreed that a procedure should be set up to ensure good cooperation between the different WP.29 Working Parties. The World Forum confirmed that a decision on this issue would be taken at its March 2011 session (see para. 35 above). 42. WP.29 noted that GRSG had agreed with the proposal for draft Rule No. 2 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/135) as well as with the proposal for guidelines on establishing requirements for high-priority warning signals by the co-Chairs of the ITS informal group (WP.29-150-22). 43. The Vice-Chair informed WP.29 about the opinion of GRSG that there was no urgency to adopt the proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/123 and its Corrigenda 1 to 4, superseded by ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2010/145) for the revision of the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3). The World Forum recalled its decision to continue consideration of this matter under agenda item 8.7 (see paras. 36 and 91 of this report). 44. The World Forum noted that Mr. Erario (Italy) had been re-elected as GRSG Chair and Mr. Matolcsy (Hungary) as GRSG Vice-Chair for the 2011 sessions. 81. The secretary of the Working Party on Road Safety (WP.1) informed World Forum about the results of the September 2010 session of WP.1 (ECE/TRANS/WP.1/129) regarding the future development of the Agreement (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2010/72). The representative of the Russian Federation recalled that the European Agreement of 1971 supplementing the Vienna Convention imposes the obligation of the driver to carry a valid International Technical Inspection Certificate. He underlined the current absence of international requirements establishing a list of components or elements to be checked to ensure vehicle safety and setting out the methods to be used during periodic inspections and importance of draft Rule No. 2 implemented by the World Forum. He informed the World Forum about his intention to present a proposal for consideration at the next session of WP.1 in March 2011. The World Forum considered inappropriate, for the time being, that the secretariat send a letter to the signatories to the Agreement recommending their accession. 82. Regarding Draft Rule No. 2 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/135), the World Forum noted that GRE and GRSG had considered the draft and that GRSP and GRRF would consider it at their next sessions in December 2010 and February 2011 respectively. The World Forum agreed to have, on the basis of the comments received, a final review of the proposal at its March 2011 session. 83. The World Forum noted the offer by the International Motor Vehicle Inspection Committee (CITA) to continue its cooperation for the development of the 1997 Agreement, in particular for the updating of Rule No. 1 to the same level as the corresponding EU Directive. |
