7. The expert from EC, Chair of the IWG on Vulnerable Road Users (VRU), introduced the IWG status report (GRSG-129-42). He also informed GRSG that the work of the IWG on approval of separate technical units for the relevant UN Regulations would not be finalized by autumn of 2025. Therefore, he introduced a proposal of amendments to the Terms of References (ToR) of the IWG (GRSG-129-02), to cover all the relevant UN Regulations that would be considered and endorsed by GRSG. The experts from OICA introduced GRSG-129-45, expressing the position of their organization on the work of IWG VRU-Proxi.
