The expert recalled that a majority of experts expressed specific concerns related to the condition (f) in the proposal at the previous session and therefore agreed to delete it, as shown in GRRF-81-28. The proposal, received some comments to amend the text in a more stringent manner. The expert from IMMA advocated for transitional provisions aligned with those of Euro 5 in Europe. He added that the newly proposed wording was too restrictive and may exclude some vehicles that were already equipped with the feature. GRRF agreed therefore on longer transitional provisions for existing vehicle types, and also to not excessively restrict the kind of vehicle that could be equipped with the ABS off switch function, by softening the wording of these provisions. The Contracting Parties agreed on the amended proposal GRRF-81-28-Rev.1. The expert from Italy expressed a scrutiny reservation on the provisions related to the off road switch.

10. The expert from OICA drew the attention to the confusion and administrative burden that could be created by the proposal if requirements were not aligned between the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83, as well as with Regulation No. 101. He expressed his concern on the possible impact this may have on the CO2 emissions type approval value and, thus, on the correlation program between WLTP and the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). He suggested considering amendments to the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 and to Regulation No. 101 as an entire package at the next GRPE session.

11. The Chair of GRPE suggested adopting the proposal not only for the 07 series but also for the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 since the text and the paragraph numbering were the same in both cases. The experts from the Netherlands, UK and T&E expressed their support to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2016/4. The expert from EC volunteered to review Regulation No. 101 to align it with this proposal at the next GRPE session in June 2016. He also clarified that the correlation program between WLTP and NEDC ensuring that both tests were properly coupled would not be affected by this proposal.

12. GRPE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2016/4 with the following correction:
Title of the document, amend to read:
“Proposal for a new Supplement to the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 (Emissions of M1 and N1 vehicles).”

13. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1) for consideration and vote at their June 2016 sessions as draft Supplement 7 to the 06 series of amendments and draft Supplement 3 to the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83.

10. The expert from OICA drew the attention to the confusion and administrative burden that could be created by the proposal if requirements were not aligned between the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83, as well as with Regulation No. 101. He expressed his concern on the possible impact this may have on the CO2 emissions type approval value and, thus, on the correlation program between WLTP and the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). He suggested considering amendments to the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 and to Regulation No. 101 as an entire package at the next GRPE session.

11. The Chair of GRPE suggested adopting the proposal not only for the 07 series but also for the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 since the text and the paragraph numbering were the same in both cases. The experts from the Netherlands, UK and T&E expressed their support to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2016/4. The expert from EC volunteered to review Regulation No. 101 to align it with this proposal at the next GRPE session in June 2016. He also clarified that the correlation program between WLTP and NEDC ensuring that both tests were properly coupled would not be affected by this proposal.

12. GRPE adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2016/4 with the following correction:
Title of the document, amend to read:
“Proposal for a new Supplement to the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 (Emissions of M1 and N1 vehicles).”

13. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1) for consideration and vote at their June 2016 sessions as draft Supplement 7 to the 06 series of amendments and draft Supplement 3 to the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83.

GRRF supported the concept but was of the opinion that some clarifications would be necessary e.g. concerning para. 2.1. with the definition of a type. The expert from France volunteered to prepare revised proposals.

43. The expert from ETRTO presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/31 proposing amendments related to Improved Flexion (IF) tyres and Very high Flexion (VF) tyres avoiding possible misunderstanding for the application of the EC Regulation No. 167/2013 that refers to Regulation No. 106.
