Correction to the proposal for a collective amendment to Regulations Nos. 7, 23, 38, 48, 77, 91 and 119. Since the cornering lamp projects a beam to the left and right of the reference axis, it is not relevant to check the photometric values in the reference axis (HV).

Advances in LED lighting raise the prospects for incorporation of lighting into rear registration plates.

OLA provides general comments in response to GRE questions intended to ensure that the selected approach respects the legal and administrative requirements of UN treaties and specifically the 1958 Agreement.
