104. Japan abstained from vote on the new UN Regulation on tyre abrasion (agenda item 4.14.3.). Japan expressed its appreciation to the GRBP experts for having developed the current proposal, particularly from the perspective of equivalence among the test methods. Japan explained that discussions on tyre abrasion would continue, including the potential expansion of the scope to C2 and C3 tyres, as well as further review of the provisions for C1 tyres. In these future discussions, Japan hoped that deliberations would be carried out in a manner that would avoid creating inequities between the test methods and would duly take into account the principle of technological neutrality.
105. For the reasons mentioned in para. 39 above, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland abstained from vote on the amendment proposals to UN Regulations Nos. 48 and 148 under agenda items 4.9.2. – 4.9.6.
106. The Russian Federation abstained from vote on the amendment proposals to UN Regulation No. 117 (agenda items 4.8.8 and 4.8.15) as well as on the new UN Regulation on tyre abrasion (agenda item 4.14.3.) for the reasons indicated in their informal document WP.29-199-15 (see para. 94 above).
107. With respect to the amendment proposals to UN Regulations Nos. 35 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2026/104, agenda item 4.10.4) and 68 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2026/146, agenda item 4.11.3.), AC.1 noted that the required quorum (not less than one-half of the Contracting Parties applying a UN Regulation) was not attained, because the European Union did not apply these UN Regulations and did not have the mandate to vote on behalf of its member States for determining the quorum. Thus, the EU member States applying these Regulation were supposed to vote individually. As a result, AC.1 postponed to the next session vote on the underlying amendment proposals.
