Draft of the Opening Remarks from JASIC (on December 4, 2012)
JASIC
Director General
Good morning. I am Yoshihiro Nanto, Director General of JASIC.
First, on behalf of JASIC I would like to express our sincere appreciation for Atty. Feliciano who is theAssistant Secretary for Planning & ICS of Department of Transportation & Communications and Ms. Torres
who is the Assistant Secretary of the Land Transportation Office of Republic of the Philippines as well as forthe related party for their preparation and running of this 3rd Public and Private Joint Forum in Asian
region under the co-sponsorship of the Japanese government and Republic of the Philippines government,
and I also like to welcome all of you who are attending this meeting.
Although the meeting is the 3rd forum, this is, at the same time, the 17th JASIC Asia
Government/Industry Meeting and being held as the 2nd meeting of the 6th series with the theme;“Promoting the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval concept under the UN Regulation framework forrealizing harmonization of regulations and establishing Mutual Recognition of Approvals in the Asian
region.”I am grateful that many government and private sector representatives involved with automobile
standards and approval in the various Asian countries participate in this discussion. Many countries areadvancing their steps forward. Some countries who are already 1958 Agreement members are introducing
UN regulations to their domestic rules or preparing to organize the type approval systems, some othercountries who are 1998 Agreement members are now playing important roles in WP29, many othercountries are making further efforts to accede to the 1958 Agreement, and the rest of the countries are
moving to establish their plans for future automobile regulations in line with the UN ones in lieu ofattending this forum only to observe.
In particular, the ASEAN member countries, which have the target to establish the “ASEAN Community”
by 2015, are going to build automobile regulation and certification systems within the region.
In this circumstance, it is my great pleasure that we could announce to open our office in Jakarta
sometime early in the next year in order to support ASEAN member nations in accordance with theirdevelopment situation relating to the establishment of the automobile regulation and certification systems.
The JASIC Jakarta Office will enable government and industry to work together in helping to introduce
internationally-harmonized automotive regulation and certification systems with good safety andenvironmental performance in the ASEAN member nations, thereby improving safety and protecting theenvironment, while also developing strong automotive markets in these countries.
So, next, Mr. Takashi Hirai who is becoming the Head of Jakarta Office of JASIC will introduce himself.
Thank you very much.

recognitionof certification

Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism JAPAN- Through harmonization of regulations and mutual recognition of certification, it is possible to promote safer and moreenvironmentally-friendly motor vehicles around the world.
- This not only enables governments to cut administration costs, but also allows the automobile industry to reduce
development, certification, and production costs through unification of vehicle design specifications and standardization ofparts, to build up global and flexible supply chains, and, consequently, to concentrate more resources on the development ofsafety and environmental technologies.
- Motor vehicle users also benefit not only from the spread of safer and more environmentally-friendly motor vehicles, butalso from reduction in vehicle prices resulting from reduced costs.

Mr. Yoshihiro Nanto
Director General
Japan Automotive Standards Internationalisation Center (JASIC)
Delegates of the Second Public and Private Joint Forum in Asian Region
Automotive Industry Associations
Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen
A PLEASANT DAY TO ALL OF US…
First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Japan Automotive
Standards Internationalisation Center (JASIC) and Ministry of Land Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism (MLIT) of Japan for the kind invitation to me to give a Speechon the occasion of the 3rd Public and Private Joint Forum in Asian Region.
It is unfortunate, however, that Mr.Isagani Creencia Erna have to attend to an
equally important commitment as part of his main obligation to service the Working
Group Meetings in ASEAN. It so happened that the events are scheduled at thesame time,so on behalf of the Task Force of APWG , I will deliver the speech for the
purpose of this forum..
In January 2011, the 1st Public and Private Joint Forum in Asian Region was held inJapan and it gave the opportunity for all of us to learn from the various presentations
and subsequently, In November 2011, the 2nd Public and Private Joint Forum in
Asian Region was held in Indonesia. Both Forums shared about the activities of
ASEAN in the automotive sector, in particular the activities related to the integration
initiatives in ASEAN. Never-the-less,the spirit of ASEAN is very much represented
today noting that most of the representatives of the Automotive Product Working
Group in ASEAN are joining the Forum and their collective views represent the viewof ASEAN.

Ladies and Gentlemen…
The automotive sector is one of the priority sectors identified for integration in
ASEAN with the aim of achieving ASEAN Economic Community by 2015. In the areaof standards and conformance, the support to integration initiative is geared towards
reducing, if totally eliminating, technical barriers to trade (TBT). In this regard, theAutomotive Product Working Group (APWG) was established by the ASEAN
Consultative Committee for Standards and Quality (ACCSQ) to study and develop
mechanisms to address trade barriers caused by differing standards and technicalregulations in the automotive sector. For the benefit of non-ASEAN delegates, theACCSQ is the sectoral body in ASEAN created by ASEAN Economic Ministers andmandated to address Technical Barriers to Trade in the priority product sectors in theregion in order to facilitate the free flow of quality and safe goods in ASEAN.
Tariffs and duties of imported goods have significantly reduced in ASEAN which
encourages trade in the region, however if other impediments to trade, such ascompliance to technical regulations of importing country still exists then theprobability of delaying the entry of products could happen. This is where theelimination of TBT comes into the picture.
For its part, the Automotive Product Working Group has made progress on
identifying and developing mechanism to reduce TBT to facilitate trade of automotive
products in ASEAN through, among others:• Harmonisation of Standards and Technical Requirements;• Mutual Recognition of Conformity Assessment Results; and,• Capacity Building Programmes, among its various activities.
These three mechanisms are the main focus of my speech in this Forum.
Firstly, Harmonisation of Standards and Technical Requirements…
Using international standards as basis of national standards is one of the importantelements in harmonisation. The APWG has agreed on adopting UNECE Regulations
as basis of common standards and technical requirements for ASEAN. As we allknow UNECE Regulations is the internationally recognised Regulations or
requirements in the automotive sector. In order for the automotive products to be
sold globally, it has to meet UN regulations. Countries with automotive
manufacturing industry have to put into consideration the international Regulations
for global market and competitiveness.
While it is acknowledged that each Member State has its own prioritisation in termsof the applicable UN regulations to be applied nationally, it is worthwhile to mention
that in ASEAN, 19 UNECE Regulations have been agreed for harmonisation by 2015.
It took a significant amount of time to arrive at the common UNECE regulations forharmonisation in ASEAN noting the different level of capability and technicalinfrastructure of ASEAN Member States. Agreeing with 19 UNECE Regulations isjust the beginning of the harmonisation process. The more challenging part of
scrutinising the relevant UNECE regulations to have unified standard and technicalrequirements is yet to be seen and awaits further discussions. One thing for sure,using common reference standard as basis of test and certification, provides
opportunity for wider market access and international recognition. Harmonised
standards and technical requirements are pre-requisite to mutual recognition.
This brings me to the second trade facilitation mechanism – Mutual Recognition ofConformity Assessment Results
With the common basis of test and certifications for the product, coupled by testing
and certification at the source country on behalf of the importing country reduces theburden of duplicate testing and certification. This is the principle behind thedevelopment of Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRA) for Type Approval ofAutomotive Products in ASEAN.

Some country requires testing and certification or approval of product against a
standard prior to selling in their country in order to make sure that the products aresafe and of good quality. At times this requirement is incorporated in the laws, rules
or regulations of the country making compliance to standards mandatory. Thissystem has been accepted as a legitimate right of a country in order to enforce acertain requirements. However assuring the safety and quality of the product does
not necessarily require testing by importing country alone noting the equally reliable
and competent testing and certification bodies available for the product outside thecountry.
The ASEAN MRA on Type Approval for Automotive Products provides a regionalarrangement to accept testing and certification issued by competent Technical
Services following the competence criteria and procedure stipulated in the MRA. The
competent criteria follow the internationally acceptable system and procedures inconformity assessment system in order to gain benefits of the already existing
technical infrastructure by the countries. The MRA has also taken into consideration
the UN 1958 Agreement as the base criteria of recognition and procedures.
The ASEAN MRA on Type Approval of Automotive Products is progressing in its
development however I must admit that there are important issues that need to beaddressed before ASEAN can move further in the completion of MRA. These steps
are important in making sure that everyone are achieving common objective for the
benefit of all ASEAN Members.
It is also important for all ASEAN Members to fully appreciate the MRA mechanism
to make it useful and beneficial not only for those who have the capability to utilize it
fully but would also provide avenue for those who are still developing theirautomotive industry to see greater opportunity for them. The MRA therefore serves
as a capacity building for the industry.
Capacity Building Programme is important component for harmonisation andmutualrecognition.
ASEAN is privileged to enjoying generous support from donor countries or dialogue
partners in pursuing the integration initiative agenda in ASEAN. Japan for instancehas been at the forefront in providing this support in the automotive sector by way of
training, workshops, meetings and conferences.

Previously, there was a workshop on Vehicle Type Approval (VTA), Conformity of
Production (COP) procedure and UN regulations held in July 2011 in Jakarta has
provided clearer picture in approaching a harmonised UN regulations and MRAs.
The APWG had a problem in determining the differences among the 19 UNECE
regulations in terms of specific requirements of each UN Regulations. The workshop
had provided the needed information on the different versions of each UNECE
Regulation which the APWG was looking for clarification.
The various trainings and workshops in the past have definitely provided inputs inwhat the APWG has reached so far in the area of harmonisation and mutual
recognition.

This Third Private/Public Forum is another opportunity of capacity building for
ASEAN as delegates participate in the discussion through exchange of informationand sharing of experiences with other countries and be updated on thedevelopments in the automotive sector not only in Asia but also in the world.
Ladies and Gentlemen…
I shared some mechanisms that ASEAN through the Automotive Product Working
Group is doing. Let me summarise this by saying that …
- the work of harmonisation and mutual recognition are the key mechanisms
towards trade facilitation in ASEAN;- the automotive sector is following these steps and is progressing one step at atime;
- moving forward with common goal and vision are important to advance together
as a Region;- reducing the development gap in ASEAN between countries with advance
automotive industry and countries with newly developing automotive industry isenhancing ASEAN as a region.
- this would not be possible without the support of generous and kind assistancefrom dialogue partners. The APWG would be able to achieve its milestone as it
continues to work together and shape the ASEAN automotive industry as a region
towards a single community in 2015.
In closing, let me thank once again Japan Automotive Standards
Internationalisation Center (JASIC) and Ministry of Land Infrastructure, Transport
and Tourism (MLIT) of Japan for this opportunity; and of course to the government ofIndonesia for hosting this important event.
I wish every one a productive and fruitful Forum.
TERIMA KASIH...

(2) India still to decide regarding accession to the 1958 Agreement, and hence the IWVTA related tothis Agreement is unlikely to be implemented in India.

7) TTVMA
1) In the future the fuel efficiency regulation will be applied on manufacturers using
Average Fuel Economy Limit.
2) TTVMA supports the IWVTA
8)JAMA(1) Japan will adopt UN-R13(Braking), R64(Temporary use tire), R121 (Control andTell-tale) in 2013.
(2) JAMA supports IWVTA.
(3) In terms of industry effort toward technical harmonization, JAMA has
participated, along with MLIT, in proposing revision of R34, R46, and R125, andalso the discussion on testing mode under the WLTP.
9) AAF/TC3(1)AAF/TC3 presented the UN-R adoption situation in each ASEAN MRA Country(2) to facilitate smooth implementation of new regulations, the AAF/TC3
recommends “2+2 years” lead time, at least, from the release date of official
gazette as a general guideline(3) The ACCSQ-APWG has noted the request of AAF/TC3and TC5 on theacceptance of later/latest series of UNECE Regulations.

2.Result of RACE Meeting Discussion
1) The possibility of using older version UN-R certificate is currently underdiscussion within WP29. If the motion is approved, more flexibility in technicalrequirements of UN-R certificate is expected, and such certificates are possible tobe utilized by the ASEAN MRA which involved technical requirements of earlier
series.

2) The industry supports the motion of establishing flexible IWVTA.

3) The principle of the 1958 agreement is to accept the latest UN-R.

5)The Meeting recommends the necessity of securing lead-time, and reiterates
the following stance:-Government authority should provide a lead time of 2 years (new model) plus 2
years (existing model) as a general guideline.
-As industry, we support the introduction of regulations that promote safety andenvironmental protection. However, to support such implementation, appropriate
lead time is necessary.

Thank You!

Let’s review
UN-Reg 1958 Agreement

Aim : To achieve the safety vehicle society
and prosperity in the world.

Methods :1) Harmonization of Requirements2) MRA(Mutual Recognition of Approvals)

JAPIA(17/56)

Benefit from Introduction of TechnicalRequirements of UN Regulation• It is relatively easy to place products
reflecting new technologies on the market.
– Technical requirements of UN Regulation are established at aninternational level.

• Existing technologies can be also used
continuously.
• Products with the same spec can be distributed
to many countries.
– Technical requirements of UN Regulations are international and havebeen already accepted in many countries.
– It will get easy to distribute vehicle equipment/parts, as internationalcommodities.

Many countries will benefit by technologies with anadequate level of safety/environmental performance.

JAPIA(18/56)

Benefit from Adoption UN Regulation/
Mutual Recognition of E-Approval• if One certification (E-Approval) becomes
sufficient as a proof of conformity to eachdomestic regulation by adopting UN Regulations,the placing on the market of vehicle
equipment/parts, as international commodities,
will get easier in each country.
– Overlap of tests and procedures for certification will be avoided.
– That leads to lower costs.
– End users in each country may be able to use vehicle equipment/partsin the same performance level.

Those measures have great advantage forend users, as well as manufacturers.

 Outstanding Issue: two different approaches for flexible
IWVTA scheme
Proposal using series of amendments to represent levels of stringency• A CP can choose IWVTAs it will accept from IWVTAs based on existing versions of
R0.
• IWVTA of limited recognition is implemented using previous series of amendmentsof UN R0.
• The level of stringency and the number of regulations required within an IWVTA oflimited recognition can be upgraded only by going to the next (predefined) series ofamendments thus providing very little flexibility to each CP.

Proposal allowing for different levels of stringency within a series ofamendments (proposal by OICA )• A CP can notify that it will accept any combination of versions of individual
Regulations included in R0 within an IWVTA of limited recognition.
• The flexible IWVTA scheme proposed by OICA provides the possibility to issue
IWVTA with limited recognition. For that aim it is necessary to stipulate a special
consideration on the acceptance or refusal of IWVTA of limited recognition in the 58
Agreement.

Introduction
Our Goal* At present, various vehicle certification systems exist for different countries in theworld. We aim to establish a truly global type approval system and realize mutual
recognition of approval among many different nations.
* Specifically, we aim to upgrade the current approval system under the international
agreement (1958 Agreement), which covers “mutual recognition of approval of vehicle
construction and equipment”, to the “whole vehicle” level.

Amendment of 1958 Agreement• Add essential appendices for equal
implementation of CP with the sameunderstanding• Open local conditions as an option in
UN regulations as appropriate• Correct existing of voting system for
more fairer

Adding Essential Appendices•Qualification of technical services•Procedure of type approval•Whole vehicle type approval

Recommendation on IWVTA• IWVTA should be a voluntary
regulation like others• List of UN regulations under
IWVTA should be divided toessential one and optional one bysafety and environment criteria

Local conditions• Open local conditions as an option in
UN regulations as appropriatee.g.
- use ambient temperature during
the test- skip any test which is required for
CPs with non-tropical climate only

Voting system• Correct existing of voting system for
more fairer by increasing majority
vote e.g. 4/5, but not consensus vote– increase importance of anindividual CP– encourage any individual CP toexpress his opinion< Thank you>

The 3rd Public Private Joint Forum in
Asian Region The Philippines has not acceded yet to the

WP29 1958 Agreement
 EO 628 was issued in preparation for thePhilippines’ accession to the 1958 Agreement
 The Government of Japan, specifically, the
MLIT is supporting the Philippines in its
preparation for the accession.
 It is timely to discuss the proposed
amendment to the 1958 Agreement while thePhilippines has not acceded yet, so that its
preparation will be geared towards the newprovisions, in case the amendments will pushthroughIntroduction of WVTA in the Philippines is step 9 in the Roadmap forthe accession to the 1958 Agreement – including introduction of
WVTA, and that is 2nd to the last step For the WVTA:- review advantages of MVTAS vs WVTA

- understand the entire function: inspection and steps of WVTA
certification procedures- examine the necessity of renewed coordination with otheragencies- propose organization of WVTA (integrated or linked) and its
operation process and vehicle certification- review other countries WVTA
- revise current Philippines regulations- draft a WVTA legal system and conduct consultations- determine consistency among technical regulations- Issue PNS on MVTAS: draft certification procedure andregulations- Issue enabling law- develop MVTAS WVTA test facility in the country Earlier versions of UN Regulations shouldbeacceptable particularly at the early stage of WVTA
implementation, but there should come a time that
regulations will really be harmonized Flexible voting is welcome in as much asattendance to meetings is very costly The proposed principle of mutual recognition is
acceptable Amendments to the 1958 Agreement is welcome,more consultations however should be conducted At the initial stage of implementation a lessstringent scheme should be applied and be more
stringent once the countries are already capable of
implementing more strict regulations

 More countries should be able to participate

 Should not be a hindrance to ASEAN economic

integration
 Should improve vehicle safety standard
 Should promote development of automotive
industry - all relevant stakeholders should
benefit.
 Should set priority regulations first meantime
that countries are still at the adjustment period
 Testing facilities should be available

Post-participation problems:
When an ECE regulation was introduced in Japan, it had been reflected to the domestic
regulations after translated into Japanese.
This process made the work for amending the domestic regulations longer andcumbersome and therefore, it was difficult to response timely to the amendments to the
ECE regulations established at the WP29 three times a year.
Problem/issue resolution measures:
The process for amending the domestic regulations was improved in 2006, in which thetechnical requirements in the ECE regulations are directly referred to in the domestic
regulations.
This change in the process saves time and efforts for the work for amending the domestic
regulations and enables us to response to incorporation of the amendments to the ECE
regulations in a timely manner.

QUESTION 3: COMMENTS FOR PANEL DISCUSSION
3-1. When is the target for complicating the vehicle type approval system?
Brunei
Cambodia
China
Hong Kong
India
Indonesia
Vehicle Type Approval system (VTA) has been already established in Japan.
In Japan, there is the governmental system which gives “certification” as the proof ofconformity of vehicles with the technical requirements regarding the safety andenvironment of motor vehicles.
This system can be separated into two groups according to motor vehicles themselves andtheir components for its own.
Japan

At first, the system in which the motor vehicles themselves are given certificates is called“Vehicle Type Approval System”.
Secondly, there is the certification called “Type Approval System for Devices” to improve
the safety for the components of automobile like headlights or tires.
In fact, when Japan became the first non-European country to join the 1958 Agreement on
the mutual recognition of approvals in 1998, this Type Approval System for Devices was
newly introduced to utilize the harmonization of vehicle regulations and mutual
recognition of approvals under the 1958 Agreement.

New draft Act of Land Transport is jointly considering by DLT and the Council of State.
And it will take time for the consideration of the Parliament. However current vehicle parts
type approval system, which is accumulated subset of whole vehicle type approval, isgradually triggered this year onward.
Viet Nam already has Vehicle/Component type approval system. These systems areclose to Type approval system under the 1958 Agreement

Current Situation
 Myanmar has some barriers for setting a schedule for the
ECE items.
 We are still observing and not ready to adopt ECE items.
 We refer and apply 1958 Agreement and its amendments inour domestic vehicle industry.
 To accede the WP 29 Agreements, it is still needed to
improve manpower, infrastructure, technology, rules andregulations in vehicle manufacturing procedures.

Current Situation (cont’d) Currently, Myanmar cannot produce a great number of vehicles
and a little number of vehicle are manufactured for the purpose ofdomestic use only.
 In producing vehicles, the domestic industries import parts andcomponents made from Japan and Europe, the countries which are
already accepted and applied the UN/ECE regulations.
 We have also accepted the vehicles that have been constructed inline with UNECE Regulations and Japanese Safety Regulations
because the majority of the imported vehicles are from Japan.

Cooperation to adopt WP 29 Activities
1958 & 1998 Agreement Myanmar has been participating as an observer in JASIC Asia
Government/Industry Meeting. At present, we apply and refersome of UNECE Regulations in domestic type approval system.
 Myanmar has been participating and attending the Meetings of
ACCSQ-APWG, and at these occasions, we inform our current
situations and discuss to harmonize with VTA in our country.
 Through the above-mentioned meetings, we can observe theexperiences of other countries.

Cooperation to adopt WP 29 Activities
1958 & 1998 Agreement (cont’d) We keep on cooperating with ASEAN and Japan forInternational Whole Vehicle Type Approval System.
 In the early 2013, 14th AMEICC – WG – AI will be hold in
Myanmar.

Conclusion
 At present, Myanmar produces only a small number ofvehicles.
 To accede the 1958 and 1998 Agreements, it needs topromote our existing manpower, infrastructure andfinancial situation.
 But we try our best to participate in WP 29 Activities.

India started participating in WP.29 activities since the year 2003 andbecame a signatory to 1998 Agreement in 2006.

•

India has contributed significantly in formulation of Global TechnicalRegulations (GTRs) on World-wide Motorcycle emission Test Cycle(WMTC), Worldwide harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedures (WLTP)
etc. under 1998 Agreement.

•

India has notified GTR 2 (WMTC) as an alternate mass emissions
standard (Bharat Stage III) for two wheeled gasoline vehicles in its
national regulations.

•India has Chaired Informal Group on Environmentally Friendly Vehicles(EFV), an important activity under WP.29/GRPE, for last 2 years and set a
direction for further activities. This group is working on formulation ofevaluation concept of EFV.

•

Director ARAI is recently appointed as Co-chairman for Working Partyon Pollution and Energy (GRPE).

India’s View on 1958 agreement• Voting in AC.1 for establishing UN Regulation /Amendment to
UN R• A quorum of consisting of not less than half of theContacting parties is required for taking decision:• ◦ Procedure should be evolved in voting system sothat Contracting Party (CP) which can not physicallyparticipate in WP.29 session should get opportunity
to submit their views to WP.29 Forum.
• Establishing new UN Regulation or Amendment to UN
regulation by 2/3 majority of those present and voting in AC.1
• ◦ Principle of 2/3 majority for establishing theregulation should be reviewed. Especially in view oflarge majority of votes in EU community.

India’s Views on 1958 agreement cont….
• Earlier version of UN Regulation– It is necessary to keep provisions for earlier versions of UN
Regulation for the process of Mutual Recognition of Approval(MRA). This would help, especially for emerging countries, toinitiate this activity and to make further progress towards
harmonization especially with stringent later versions of UN
Regulations, which are based on the advanced technology. e.g.
Emission norms, Brakes, Safety belts.

•

Acceptance of approval to latest or earlier version of
UN Regulation– Limitations of various countries due to many factors (such astechnology, infrastructure etc.) have to be addressed and in casecountry cannot accept latest version, it should have freedom todeclare that they will not have the higher version. One such
example is vehicles designed for stringent emission norms may
not be suitable for country, which has mandated lower levelnorms due to non- availability of required fuel quality.

India’s Views on 1958 agreement cont…..
• The qualification of Technical Service (TS)– Technical Service (TS) must be accredited for complianceto relevant standards for quality system and competency.
The technical and administrative norms for granting
accreditation and their review on a continual basis should
be standardized.

• Other issues– System for ensuring uniformity of trust across nations isavailable. Currently, there is no such system for supervisionof certification system of signatory countries by WP29.
– Even though the type approval system of most of thecontracting parties are well established, there areinterpretational issues in accepting approvals from someother signatories.

Wrap-up

The 3rd Public and Private Joint Forum in Asian Region (The 17th JASIC Asia
Government/Industry Meeting) was held in Manila, December 4-6, 2012 as thesecond meeting in the 6th Series of Public and Private Joint Forum. In
accordance with the series theme “Promoting the International Whole Vehicle
Type Approval (IWVTA) Concept under the UN Regulation Framework forRealizing Harmonization of Regulations and Establishing Mutual Recognition ofApprovals (MRA) in the Asian Region,” a wide range of in-depth opinions were
presented by and discussed among the participating economies regarding theexisting three objectives of the Forum:

Objective (1): To establish a system of cooperation for further international
harmonization activities so that each Asian economy understands the WP.29
activities and the merits of accession to the 1958 Agreement through the Publicand Private Joint Forum.
=> Regarding the framework after 2015 as a new function of public and private
joint forum, Malaysia proposed to have WP29 technical committee with
ASEAN and Japan participation.
The Forum agreed in general on the necessity of creating new function to
exchange the views towards and from WP29 in Geneva. Where ASEAN
position is concerned, the delegation from ASEAN said it should be first
discussed in the APWG. The outcome of the discussion may be shared with thisForum. The details of the new function of Public and Private Joint Forum(Concrete contents to be discussed, meeting frequency, time, necessity ofSteering committee, or Sponsor/Secretariat, etc.) will be continuously discussed
at the next forum.

Objective (2): To coordinate and communicate an integrated Asian voice to
WP.29 for the development of the IWVTA and UN Regulation/GTR.
=> The Forum has considered ongoing activities in IWVTA Informal group andwelcomed in principle the proposal for the treatment of earlier version of UN
Regulation, flexible voting procedure and the developments of flexible schemeof Regulation No.0.
In addition, the Forum also confirmed that Asian countries should be more
involved in making UN regulations/GTRs to become truly globally harmonizedregulation. If necessary, the one voice proposal from Asian region will be
submitted to WP29 in future.

Objective (3): To promote understanding on the IWVTA concept fordevelopment of the regional common Whole Vehicle Type Approvals systemthrough the ASEAN MRA activities.
=> The participants confirmed the following:- The Forum noted that the revision of the 1958 Agreement could make itpossible for the contracting party to issue type approval certificates based on
previous versions. In the future, ASEAN Member States could benefit fromusing certificates based on the 1958 agreement, in carrying out ASEAN MRA.
- The Forum participants are encouraged to monitor all IWVTA activities to thebenefits of the future developments of the regional common WVTA system.
The Forum was informed that the next IWVTA informal sub group meetings
will be held on 22-24, January 2013, in Tokyo, Japan.
The Forum also noted that, to successfully achieve the objectives, it would be
most effective for each country to continue to work with all stakeholder together,public and private sectors side by side.
In addition, it was agreed that the next Public and Private Joint Forum will beheld in Thailand around December 2013.
