- EC explained their view for the different topics:

• o First look at categories and consider whether to work under the 98 or 58 agreements
• o Type I: Suggestion to look into GTR2, upgrade where needed, e.g. require PM measurement as this is not yet in the GTR. And regarding dilution air, the current GTR is not much developed.
• o Durability: There is the AMA, and EC developed its own cycle, ‘the SRC’
• o EVAP: EC sees common grounds which are going in the direction of the Californian ‘Shed test’, or alternatively more cost effective method ‘permeation’ testing for lower end vehicles – still reflecting on it.
• o Regarding propulsion requirements there is a lack of harmonized requirements at UNECE for power testing.

- Japan requested that the priority for this group had to be OBD and EVAP, as Japan has pressure to develop these regulatory issues on national level. Japan also informed that they do not have requirements for crankcase emissions, and suggested priorities were set.
