            COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2024/1775
         
of 18 June 2024
         
on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union in the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe on proposals for modifications to UN regulation Nos 13, 13-H, 22, 30, 41, 49, 51, 54, 63, 78, 79, 83, 85, 96, 100, 101, 108, 109, 117, 120, 129, 134, 138, 150, and 155, on a proposal for a new UN regulation on snow grip performance and traction tyre classification for retreaded tyres, on proposals for modifications to UN global technical regulation Nos 9, 13, 21, 22, and 24, and on a proposal for an amendment of UN mutual resolution No 1


THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,


Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:







(1)


By Council Decision 97/836/EC (1), the Union acceded to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (the ‘Revised 1958 Agreement’). The Revised 1958 Agreement entered into force on 24 March 1998.












(2)


By Council Decision 2000/125/EC (2), the Union acceded to the Agreement concerning the establishing of global technical regulations for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or be used on wheeled vehicles (the ‘Parallel Agreement’). The Parallel Agreement entered into force on 15 February 2000.












(3)


Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) lays down administrative provisions and technical requirements for type approval and placing on the market of all new vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units. That Regulation incorporates regulations adopted under the Revised 1958 Agreement (‘UN regulations’) in the EU type approval system, either as requirements for type approval or as alternatives to Union legislation.












(4)


Pursuant to Article 1 of the Revised 1958 Agreement and Article 6 of the Parallel Agreement, the UNECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) may adopt proposals for modifications to UN regulations, UN global technical regulations (UN GTRs) and UN resolutions, and proposals for new UN regulations, UN GTRs and UN resolutions on the approval of vehicles. Moreover, pursuant to those provisions, WP.29 may adopt proposals for authorisations to develop amendments to UN GTRs or to develop new UN GTRs, and may adopt proposals for the extension of mandates for UN GTRs.












(5)


From 25 to 28 June 2024, during its 193rd session, WP.29 may adopt: proposals for modifications to UN regulation Nos 13, 13-H, 22, 30, 41, 49, 51, 54, 63, 78, 79, 83, 85, 96, 100, 101, 108, 109, 117, 120, 129, 134, 138, 150, and 155; a proposal for a new UN regulation on snow grip performance and traction tyre classification for retreaded tyres; proposals for modifications to UN GTR Nos 9, 13, 21, 22, and 24; and a proposal for an amendment of UN mutual resolution No 1.












(6)


The UN regulations will be binding on the Union. Together with the UN mutual resolution and UN GTRs, they will decisively influence the content of EU legislation in the field of vehicle type approval. Therefore, it is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in WP.29 on the adoption of those proposals.












(7)


In order to reflect experience and technical developments, the requirements for certain aspects or features covered by UN regulation Nos 13, 13-H, 22, 30, 41, 49, 51, 54, 63, 78, 79, 83, 85, 96, 100, 101, 108, 109, 117, 120, 129, 134, 138, 150, and 155, UN mutual resolution No 1 and UN GTR Nos 9, 13, 21, 22 and 24 need to be amended or supplemented.












(8)


In order to allow for technical progress and in order to improve safety and reduce environmental footprint, a new UN regulation on snow grip performance and traction tyre classification for retreaded tyres needs to be adopted.












(9)


Those proposals are in line with the EU internal market policy on the automotive industry regarding safety, automation, and emissions, as well as its transport, climate and energy policies and have a very positive impact on the competitiveness of the EU automotive sector and on international trade.












(10)


In the light of those benefits, it is suggested to vote in favour of those proposals,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
The position to be taken on the Union’s behalf in the 193rd session of the UNECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations to be held from 25 to 28 June 2024 shall be to vote in favour of the proposals listed in the Annex to this Decision.


Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.




Done at Luxembourg, 18 June 2024.


For the Council


The President

G. GILKINET
            





(1)  Council Decision 97/836/EC of 27 November 1997 with a view to accession by the European Community to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (‘Revised 1958 Agreement’) (OJ L 346, 17.12.1997, p. 78).

(ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/90, para. 18, based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2024/8, GRPE-90-08 and during the session as amended by Annex VII)


The proposed amendments aim to introduce corrections and clarifications so that vehicles which fall within a single ‘vehicle type with regard to emissions’ in accordance with UN regulation No 154 would still fulfil the requirements of this regulation. In addition, the proposal provides more clarity regarding the requirements connected to the different emissions characters EA, EB and EC.


ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2024/50

(ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/77, para. 16, based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2024/2 as amended by GRBP-79-34-Rev.2)


The proposed amendments reduce measurement uncertainties during the measurement of the one third octave band sound level and reduce existing grey areas in the context of issuing approvals. In addition, the behaviour of the acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) above a vehicle speed of 20 km/h and when reversing is addressed thus ensuring a functioning interaction between this regulation and the requirements in other regulations in the area of the maximum permissible sound level in the speed range of AVAS and the additional sound emission provisions (ASEP) or real-driving additional sound emission provisions.

Proposal for Corrigendum 1 to Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No 150 (Retro-reflective devices)
(ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/89, para. 32, based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2023/21)


The proposed amendments align the procedure to follow in case of a surface reflection on the retroreflector for both coefficient of luminous intensity measurement and colour measurement. Currently, the measuring procedure is different and this may result in different measured colour coordinates in different laboratories.

Proposal for Supplement 3 to UN Regulation No 155 (Cyber Security and Cyber Security Management System)
(ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/18, para. 53, based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2024/4)


The proposal aims to extend the scope of UN regulation No 155 to include all vehicles of category L.


ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2024/55




New regulation


Proposal for a new draft UN Regulation (Snow grip performance and traction tyre classification for retreaded tyres)
(ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/77, para. 19, based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2024/11 as amended by GRBP-79-29-Rev.1)


This new UN regulation is proposed in order to address the difficulties that the retreaders and the type approval authorities have been facing in practice with the existing requirements regarding the approval of retreading facilities producing ‘tyres for use in severe snow conditions’and the verification of the conformity of production of these retreaded tyres. This proposal goes in parallel with the proposals removing the prescriptions of snow grip performance of retreaded tyres from UN regulations Nos 108 and 109.
