Dear Mr. Kuningas,
At the eighty-fifth session of the Inland Transport Committee (ITC) in February 2023,
member States agreed to the creation of the Model Rules for the Permanent Identification of
Railway Rolling Stock (Model Rules). Issued under the auspices of the Working Party on
Rail Transport, the Model Rules implement a key requirement of the Luxembourg Protocol
to the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment by setting the
framework in which rail rolling stock can be permanently marked for financing purposes
(https://unece.org/media/Transport/press/376109).
In addition to the adoption of the Model Rules, ITC established the Revisions
Committee to the Model Rules to oversee their regular updating. The first session of the
Revisions Committee is planned from 30 August to 1 September 2023 at the Palais des
Nations in Geneva and will be held in English, French and Russian (with simultaneous
interpretation). Online participation is not currently possible.
With this letter I would like to ask you to nominate a representative from your Ministry
to act as expert for the Revisions Committee and participate in the decision making process
at each session. Please send your nominations to Mr. Francesco Dionori
(
[email protected]) by 31 May 2023 to ensure that your representative receives all
the relevant information for the upcoming session. Please also contact Mr. Dionori for any
further information on this work.
Yours sincerely,
Yuwei Li
