28. The expert of FIA proposed to establish a Task Force on Glare Prevention (TF GP) and introduced its first draft Terms of Reference (GRE-91-20). GRE experts made a number of comments on the draft. The experts from Canada, Germany and the Kingdom of the Netherlands (pending confirmation by the next session of GRE) stated that they would be interested in acting as Co-Chairs, while GTB offered secretariat support to TF GP. In reply to a question from the expert of EC, the secretariat clarified that contracting parties to the 1998 Agreement are full participants in WP.29 and its subsidiary working parties, including GRE, and can participate in all activities, including those under the 1958 Agreement and its UN Regulations, upon understanding that final legal decisions on UN Regulations are taken by the Administrative Committee (AC.1), composed of contracting parties to the 1958 Agreement only.

29. GRE launched the Task Force and requested it to review GRE-91-20 with the aim to submit updated Terms of Reference for adoption at the next session. GRE also agreed that glare prevention should be listed among the 2025 priorities.

30. The expert from Japan reported on the outcome of their research into standards for automotive lighting in an ageing society (GRE-91-17), which identified the decreased vision of elderly people at night, due to reduced eyesight and increased glare, compared to younger people. As solutions, the expert proposed that a light distribution design should address glare and visibility for elderly drivers and that an evaluation should be conducted on how new headlamp technologies (auto-levelling, adaptive driving beam, headlamp cleaners, etc.) improve visibility and anti-glare performance. The Chair invited TF GP to consider these suggestions.
