Proposal for a Council Decision on the position to be taken in the relevant Committees of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe as regards the proposals for amendments to various UN Regulations

Further information:

At international level, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) develops harmonised requirements intended to remove technical barriers to the trade in motor vehicles between the Contracting Parties to the Revised 1958 Agreement and to ensure that such vehicles offer a high level of safety and environmental protection.

The meetings of UNECE WP.29, the World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations, are held three times in March, June and November of each calendar year. In each meeting session new UN Regulations, new UN Global Technical Regulations (UN GTRs) and/or amendments to existing UN Regulations or UN Global Technical Regulations (UN GTRs) are adopted in order to allow for technical progress.

This proposed Council Decision defines the Union's position in the voting of the Regulations, amendments, supplements and corrigenda submitted for vote in the WP.29 meeting that will take place from 18 to 22 June 2018.
