"The World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) offers a unique framework for globally harmonised regulations on vehicles with participants from all over the world, particularly the main motor vehicle producing countries. The benefits of such harmonised regulations are tangible in road safety, environmental protection and trade. Currently, 126 regulations have been agreed within the UNECE framework. The European Union has currently acceded to 106 UNECE regulations, of which it has decided to compulsorily apply 62 in the EU. Two new draft regulations have been drawn up at UNECE level and are ready to be put to the vote: the first concerns pedestrian safety and the second concerns light emitting diode (LED) light sources. I welcome the position of the European Union (the Commission negotiates on behalf of the EU at UNECE level) because these UNECE regulations will allow for the application of the same standards in many countries, reducing red tape and enabling European industry to compete more widely and easily."@en1
