28. The expert from the Kingdom of the Netherlands introduced working documents ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2025/28 and GRSP/2025/29 with proposals addressing the issue of atypical windscreen fracture. The experts from Italy and Sweden supported the proposals and indicated that the square brackets could be removed. On a question from the expert from Japan regarding the potential need to create a task force, the expert from the Kingdom of the Netherlands suggested that this would be appropriate in two or three years, once enough data had been collected.
