adoption of ECE regulations and through participation in WP29 by Asian
countries. The meetings will be directed to the following items.
|
|
1. |
Establishment and organization of regulation certification
systems in each country, on the assumption that Asian countries will
participate in WP29. |
|
2. |
More practical orientation to harmonization activities
through discussions that include automobile-related industry representatives
from each country. |
|
3. |
Establishment of systems of mutual cooperation through
active exchange of information among Asian countries for the sake
of stimulating activities at WP29 forums. |
|
At JASIC Asia G-I meetings held thus far, information exchange has
been realized as follows.
First Series (First three G-I meetings)
The first three G-I meetings were aimed at defining optimal vehicle
regulations and certification systems for Asian nations with a view
to international harmonization of regulations and mutual recognition
of approvals. At the third meeting, the First Series was summarized
in a joint statement on "Enhancement of Regulations and Certification
Systems, Participation in WP29 and Accession to the 1958 and1998 Agreements."
Second Series (4th to 6th G-I meetings)
The 4th to 6th G-I meetings were focused on "Achievement and
Expansion of Observer Participation in WP29." At the 6th meeting
a joint statement was adopted on "Participation in WP29, Accession
to the 1958 and 1998 Agreements and Confirmation of Orientations in
Future G-I Meetings."
Third Series (7th to 9th G-I meetings)
Starting from the preceding 7th G-I meeting, discussion is continuing
on the theme of "Realization of ECE Regulations Adoption and
WP29 Participation" to confirm appropriate ways of advancing
harmonization activities and establishing an effective certification
system under the 1958 Agreement.
At the forthcoming 9th G-I meeting, which concludes the Third Series
(as the 3rd meeting of the series), Mr. Gauvin, Vice-chairman of WP29,
will be invited as a special guest to the discussion and the participating
countries, having gained a greater understanding of the rules laid
down in the 1958 Agreement, will identify the existing obstacles to
their accession to the Agreement and will discuss ways of overcoming
the obstacles.
