Capel Ferrer, recalled the importance of ATP for international trade in perishable foodstuffs, and emphasized the need to extend ATP's area of application, in particular to the central and eastern European countries in transition. 5.bbHe expressed the hope that the updating of ATP would be expedited, as well as the entry into force of the annexes, taking into account technological developments and industry needs. 6.bbHe paid tribute to the work of the Chairman of the Working Party who wasto take up another appointment and was participating in the work of the Working Party for the last time. DISCUSSIONS OF THE INLAND TRANSPORT COMMITTEE AFFECTING THE WORK OF THE WORKING PARTY 7.bbThe Working Party took note of the passages of the report of the fifty-seventh session of the Inland Transport Committee concerning its activities (ECE/TRANS.111, paras. 126130 and ECE/TRANS.111/Add.1). ACTIVITIES OF OTHER INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS DEALING WITH PROBLEMS OF INTEREST TO THE WORKING PARTY ON THE TRANSPORT OF PERISHABLE FOODSTUFFS 8.bbThe representative of the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) provided information on the Institute's activities. '{,((ԌIMPLEMENTATION OF THE AGREEMENT ON THE INTERNATIONAL CARRIAGE OF PERISHABLE FOODSTUFFS AND ON THE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT TO BE USED FOR SUCH CARRIAGE (ATP) bb(a) Information on the status of application of the Agreement 9.bbThe Working Party was informed that Kazakhstan had acceded to ATP on17July 1995, so that the Agreement would enter into force for Kazakhstan one year after the date of deposit of its instrument, i.e. 17 July 1996. 10.bbTo date, the following States had become Parties to ATP: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Luxembourg, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States of America, [Yugoslavia]. Switzerland had signed, but not yet ratified, the Agreement. 7bb(b)7 Test stations officially designated by the competent authorities of countries parties to ATP and whose test reports might be used for a#a#[ the issue of the ATP certificates# 11.bbThe Working Party took note of document TRANS/WP.11/R.61 and invited delegations to bring the addresses for their respective countries up to date. 12.bbThe representative of Portugal said that her country had recently established an approved test station for the issue of ATP reports. She informed the Working Party that more detailed information on the new test station would shortly be transmitted to the secretariat. AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT ON THE INTERNATIONAL CARRIAGE OF PERISHABLE FOODSTUFFS AND ON THE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT TO BE USED FOR SUCH CARRIAGE (ATP) WHICH HAVE ENTERED INTO FORCE 13.bbThe secretariat said that the proposed amendments submitted byItalytoparagraphs 6, 8 and 18 of Annex 1, Appendix 2, to ATP (C.N.416.1994-TREATIES7) would enter into effect on 22 February 1996 (C.N.340.1995-TREATIES-3). 14.bbThe secretariat also informed the Working Party that the proposed amendments submitted by France to article 18 and to Annex 1, Appendix 2, toATP (para.49(b) and subpara. 58 (ii)) (C.N.397.1994TREATIES4) would enter into force on 24 February 1996 (C.N.341.1995TREATIES4). 15.bbOn the proposal of Denmark, the Working Party decided to ask the secretariat to circulate to competent authorities all new ATP depositary notifications prepared by the UnitedNations Treaty Section. '{,((ԌPROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT ON THE INTERNATIONAL CARRIAGE OF PERISHABLE FOODSTUFFS AND ON THE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT TO BE USED FOR SUCH CARRIAGE (ATP) bb(a) Annex 2, Appendix 1, to ATP 7bb7 MONITORING OF AIR TEMPERATURES FOR TRANSPORT OF PERISHABLE FOODSTUFFS QUICK-FROZEN# 16.bbThe Working Party was informed that this Appendix had been sent to the depositary by the UnitedKingdom (see C.N.414.1994TREATIES6). 17.bbThe representatives of France and the UnitedKingdom reported to the Working Party on the progress of work on the draft European standard. 18.bbThe Chairman expressed the hope that the Working Party would be able tosee the standard so as to familiarize itself with the standardization of temperature-recording equipment. bb(b) Annex 2, Appendix 2, to ATP 7bb7 PROCEDURE FOR THE SAMPLING AND MEASUREMENT OF TEMPERATURE FOR CARRIAGE OF CHILLED, FROZEN AND QUICK-FROZEN PERISHABLE FOODSTUFFS# 19.bbThe Working Party was informed that it had been noted that paragraphs7 to 13 were missing from the Appendix which had been submitted to the depositary by the UnitedKingdom (see C.N.414.1994TREATIES6). 20.bbThe representative of the UnitedKingdom said that a corrigendum covering that omission had already been prepared by his delegation. 21.bbA member of the secretariat said that no objection had been received regarding Appendices 1 and 2 to Annex 2 to ATP. 22.bbThe Working Party unanimously adopted a decision noting that, as the result of an administrative error, paragraphs7 to 13 of Appendix2 to Annex2 to ATP had not been communicated by the depositary. As the full text of the Appendix had already been adopted by the Working Party, the Treaty Section was requested to consider it sufficient, as a special measure, simply to transmit Annex2, Appendix2, in its entirety, without waiting for six months. 23.bbThe Working Party also asked the Treaty Section to take account of thefollowing editorial correction to the English version of the title of the Appendix: replace "perishable foodstuffs quick-frozen" by "quick-frozen perishable foodstuffs". '{,((Ԍbb(c) Annex 3 to ATP 7bb7 SELECTION OF EQUIPMENT AND TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS TO BE OBSERVED FOR THE CARRIAGE OF CHILLED FOODSTUFFS# Documents: TRANS/WP.11/R.58, TRANS/WP.11/R.59 24.bbThe Working Party stressed the need to have Annex 3 to ATP enter into force as rapidly as possible. 25.bbThe representative of the RussianFederation expressed the hope that such terms as "red meat" and "red offal" would be defined. 26.bbThe Working Party accepted the following definitions submitted by the representative of France: 7bb"Red meat" means the meat of animals for butchering (ovine, porcine, bovine, equine, etc.);#b 7bb"Large game" means animals such as deer and wild boar;#b 7bb"Red offal" means livers, lungs, hearts, kidneys and brains;#b 7bb"Game other than large game" means small animals such as pheasants, partridges and hares.#b 27.bbA small group drafted a consensus proposal based on the document transmitted by Germany (TRANS/WP.11/R.59). 28.bbIn reply to a question asked by the Chairman, the representative of the UnitedKingdom confirmed that his objection to the draft of Annex3 had not changed, particularly in the light of the intensive efforts of the European Commission to standardize temperatures for the transport of perishable foodstuffs. 29.bbThe Working Party adopted this proposal as contained in the annex to this report and requested the representative of Germany to transmit Annex3 to ATP to the depositary. 30.bbThe Working Party also requested the representative of Germany to transmit to the depositary an editorial amendment to Annex1, paragraph5, to  sF ATP replacing "0.9w/m2.K" and "0.6w/m2.K" by "0.90 W/m2.K" and "0.60W/m2.K" respectively. bb(d) Procedure for revision of ATP 31.bbThe Working Party welcomed the forthcoming entry into force(24February1996) of the revision of article18 (see C.N.341.1995.TREATIES-4), which would enable the secretariat to transmit thetexts of amendments adopted by the Working Party directly to the depositary. '{,((Ԍ32.bbSeveral delegations expressed the view that, in order to modernize ATP, it would be essential to establish the rule of majority voting, as was the case for other ECE agreements and conventions. 33.bbThe representative of the UnitedStates said that he had not raised anyobjection regarding the revision of article18 and that he was not automatically opposed to any modernization of ATP, but that he had reservations about the introduction of the majority vote. 34.bbThe representatives of the UnitedKingdom, France and the Netherlands said that a compromise solution could be found if the majority vote procedure was used only with regard to the annexes to ATP, and not for the body of ATP itself. 35.bbThe Chairman concluded the debate by inviting the representative of theUnitedStates to reconsider his position and requested participants particularly the delegation of France, which had offered to do so to submit proposals for improving the ATP revision procedure on the basis of the practice followed for other international instruments. bb(e)n Miscellaneous proposals# bbn Question of quantity restrictions for the period of validity of type approval certificates Annex 1, Appendix 1, 2 (d)# 36.bbThe representative of Transfrigoroute International proposed abolishing the ATP restriction to the effect that during the six-year period, if the equipment series comprised more than 100units, the competent authority should determine the percentage of tests to be carried out. 37.bbHe said that restriction was costly and could be replaced by an increase in ATP safety coefficients to allow for inevitable variations in the series. 38.bbThe Chairman said that measures regarding conformity of production for motor-vehicles in general could be taken as a basis. 39.bbThe representative of France said that the procedure in paragraph2(d) allowed for implementation of the provisions of paragraph1(c) of Annex1, Appendix1 to ATP. 40.bbThe Working Party decided to retain the existing text of ATP which seemed to be flexible and allowed for the existence of small manufacturers. It nevertheless invited participants to reflect on the matter with a view to submitting proposals at the following session. 7bbUpdating of the ATP safety coefficients Annex 1, Appendix 2, paragraphs32 to 47#b 41.bbThe representative of Transfrigoroute International said that ATP safety coefficients should be adjusted to take account of current transport requirements and the state of technology. '{,((Ԍ42.bbThe representative of France recalled that tests under load conducted bya number of laboratories in 1984 had shown that, during summer, safety coefficients of the order of 2 were sufficient for the transport of quick-frozen produce over long periods (10days) even when equipment with thinsidewalls was used. 43.bbThe representative of France said that an increase in the safety coefficient was justified in the case of delivery vehicles that frequently hadtheir doors opened. However, in the case of such vehicles, care should betaken to ensure that increasing the safety coefficient did not pose any special problems in terms of loading temperatures, the vehicle's engine (the problem of coupling) or the equivalence between the ATP test specifications and the ISO 14962 standard. It might be necessary to create a new class for delivery vehicles. 44.bbSeveral speakers said that nothing should be changed in ATP until properly substantiated and specific proposals were presented. 45.bbThe Working Party decided to keep this question on the agenda of its next session. 7bbDefinition of standardized conditions for the start-up test in the course of the renewal inspection Annex 1, Appendix 2, paragraph49(a), (b) and(c)#b 46.bbThe representative of Transfrigoroute International proposed introducing a heated load in the start-up test (at least 35% for a three-year validity, at least 75% for a six-year validity). 47.bbThe representative of France pointed out that the question had been settled by the entry into force, in February1996, of the amendment to paragraph49(b) of Annex1, Appendix2, to ATP, which stipulated that the limit temperature of the class should be reached in less than six hours. Inpractice, that would represent a coefficient not of 35%, but of 50%. 48.bbThe Working Party decided to keep this question on the agenda of its next session. bbTests of eutectic systems in service  49.bbThe representative of IIR informed the Working Party that tests of eutectic systems had begun in several European countries and that the Sub-Committee on test stations was to examine the first results in the springof 1996. 50.bbThe representatives of Germany and Italy presented informal documents on the tests carried out in their own countries on vehicles fitted with eutectic plates. 51.bbThey undertook to submit official information on the tests, bearing in mind the observations made by the other experts. ' {,((Ԍ52.bbThe Working Party decided to keep this question on the agenda of its next session. bbValidity of test reports for mechanically refrigerated units 53.bbThe representative of IIR proposed the adoption of a six-year limit for the validity of test reports on mechanically refrigerated units. 54.bbThe Working Party decided to keep this question on the agenda of its next session and invited participants to submit proposals concerning the limit of validity. bbConditions for reapproval 55.bbAfter a round-table discussion of the question, it emerged that there was a lack of harmonization regarding the authorized periods between the end of approval and the date of reapproval, although in most countries validity began on the test date. 56.bbThe Working Party invited delegations to submit information on their national practice and on the feasibility of harmonization. 7bbProcedures for determining the efficiency of battery refrigerating appliances#b Document: TRANS/WP.11/R.57 57.bbThe representative of France submitted a proposal for improving procedures for determining the efficiency of eutectic battery refrigerating appliances. 58.bbHe said that ATP was not clear when it stipulated that inside temperatures should be recorded, as it did not specify whether the reference was to the air temperature or the temperature of the eutectic plates. 59.bbThe Working Party decided to keep this question on the agenda for its next session. DEFINITION OF "CONTAINER" FOR THE PURPOSES OF ATP 60.bbA member of the secretariat presented the definition of "container" used in intermodal transport as well as the harmonized terminology for the different types of container (see Glossary for transport statistics). 61.bbAfter an exchange of views, the Working Party adopted an amendment to article5 as it appears in the annex to this report. 62.bbThe Working Party asked the representative of France to transmit the amendment to the depositary. ' {,((ԌSCOPE OF ATP 63.bbThe representative of the RussianFederation explained the reasons which prompted his delegation to stress the fact that ATP should provide guidelines for the transport of fresh fruit and vegetables, which were also perishable foodstuffs. He noted, in particular, the considerable increase in trade, the problems of quality faced by producers and the long distances travelled on both road and rail networks. 64.bbA member of the secretariat said that, in response to the request made to it, the Working Party on the Standardization of Perishable Produce and Quality Development had felt that, as ATP dealt mainly with the health and hygiene aspects of perishable foodstuffs rather than commercial quality, it was not in the interests of the Working Party to undertake the drafting of guidelines for the storage and transport of fresh fruit and vegetables, even though there was a clear need for such guidelines. 65.bbThe representative of Germany argued that it was not advisable to extend ATP to cover fresh fruit and vegetables given, among other things, the wide variety of such produce and the limited health risk they represented. An informal document was made available on this question. 66.bbThe representative of France said that, while he understood perfectly thearguments against extending the scope of ATP to cover fresh fruit and vegetables, that extension could not be excluded from the outset, as the purpose of ATP was also to improve maintenance of the quality of foodstuffs, which included fresh fruit and vegetables, and not simply to deal with health questions, contrary to the proposal reflected in paragraph64 above. 67.bbSeveral delegates expressed reservations about extending ATP to cover fresh fruit and vegetables. 68.bbThe Chairman of the Working Party said that a compromise solution would be to draft a resolution on the transport of fresh fruit and vegetables, taking particularly into account the ECE standards, the IIR refrigerated transport guidelines and national practice. 69.bbThe Working Party decided to keep the question on the agenda of its following session and invited participants to submit proposals on the drafting of the resolution. TRANSPORT OF PERISHABLE FOODSTUFFS BY ROAD/AIR 70.bbThe representative of IATA said that the aspects developed in documentTRANS/WP.11/R.51 submitted by IIR were acceptable as they couldsolveroad/air interface problems. 71.bbThe Working Party invited the representative of France to submit a draft resolution based on the IIR document for the Working Party's following session. ' {,((ԌSTATISTICS CONCERNING ATP Documents: TRANS/WP.6/R.54, TRANS/WP.6/R.75 72.bbThe Working Party was informed about the results of the pilot questionnaire on transport equipment for perishable foodstuffs, which the secretariat had circulated in March1995 to the competent authorities of Contracting Parties to theATP, as well as to the test stations that issued certificates in accordance with ATP. The response to the questionnaire had been higher than in previous years, especially among countries of the European Union. The following seven countries responded: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden and the UnitedKingdom. In addition, data was provided by theNetherlands and the UnitedStates ofAmerica during the session. 73.bbThe Working Party noted the difficulty experienced in collecting thesestatistics and stressed the importance of having reliable and more comprehensive information in this area. After a detailed discussion, it wasdecided that each of the competent authorities would transmit to the secretariat, as soon as possible, the name of a focal point from his country who would be responsible for the collection of statistics on transport equipment for perishable foodstuffs. Based on this list, the pilot questionnaire would be recirculated with a view to obtaining a larger number of replies. The possible reformulation of the questionnaire would be considered the following year in the light of the results of the informal meeting. FACILITATION OF TRANSPORT OF PERISHABLE FOODSTUFFS 74.bbThe representative of Transfrigoroute International deplored the continued existence of a number of border-crossing obstacles encountered byinternational carriers of perishable foodstuffs, despite the adoption of ResolutionNo.243 by the Inland Transport Committee on improving the security of ATP-approved equipment for the transport of foodstuffs covered by ATP. 75.bbThe Working Party deplored that situation and decided to keep the matter on the agenda so that it could be kept informed of any such difficulties. PROCEDURES FOR THE APPROVAL OF MULTICOMPARTMENT MULTITEMPERATURE VEHICLES 76.bbThe representative of France introduced document TRANS/WP.11/R.53 which had been drafted jointly by France and the UnitedKingdom after being discussed in the SubCommittee on test stations. 77.bbHe said that the document took account of most of the comments made by Transfrigoroute International. 78.bbSeveral speakers said that they would like more time to consider the proposal in detail. Some delegates nevertheless felt it necessary to take account from the outset of a single K coefficient, the minimum inner wall thickness (see Schedule CCT 15 of Transfrigoroute International) and the after-assembly approval test.' {,((Ԍ79.bbThe Working Party requested the representative of France to take account of those aspects and of any observations by delegations in preparing a final text. 80.bbThe Working Party decided to take up the question again at its following session. REFRIGERANTS 81.bbThe representative of Transfrigoroute International informed the Working Party of developments in the use of refrigerants and refrigerating units. 82.bbA member of the secretariat drew the Working Party's attention to thework of the Preparatory Committee for the 1996 Regional Conference on Transport and the Environment (ECE/RCTE/PC/33). 83.bbThe representative of Transfrigoroute International said that he could submit a contribution on the impact of refrigerated transport on the environment. 84.bbThe Working Party asked to be kept informed of developments and results relating to the Conference. KIT BODIES  Document: TRANS/WP.11/R.60 85.bbIn response to a request by the Working Party the representative of Transfrigoroute International pointed out that document TRANS/WP.11/R.60, was intended to identify more clearly the respective responsibilities of the kit manufacturer and the installation firm. 86.bbHe said that the sharing of responsibility made it possible to limit testing costs and to improve quality. 87.bbThe representative of France asked that, in future, all documents submitted should set out clearly the purpose of proposed amendments and the justification for them, together with a preliminary draft, if necessary. 88.bbSeveral speakers emphasized the complexity of the issue by drawing attention to the various legal problems implicit in questions of responsibility. 89.bbThe Working Party invited delegations to submit in good time contributions which might help to solve this new problem. PROCESSES OF INTEGRATION IN EUROPE AND THEIR POSSIBLE EFFECT ON THE APPLICATION OF ATP AMONG PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT 90.bbThe representative of the United Kingdom informed the Working Party of the projects under way within DGVII of the European Commission. ' {,((Ԍ91.bbThe Working Group decided to keep this question on the agenda of its next session. LOCAL BORDERCROSSING TRANSPORT OF PERISHABLE FOODSTUFFS IN RELATION TO ATP  Document: TRANS/WP.11/R.58 92.bbThe representative of the Netherlands said that local crossborder transport was expanding considerably as a result of the establishment of theinternal market of the European Union. 93.bbHe said that ATP should distinguish between long distance/long duration and (local) short distance/short duration transport, for which it should adopt less stringent conditions. 94.bbThe representative of the United Kingdom pointed out that the EuropeanUnion directive concerning quickfrozen foodstuffs had deliberately avoided invoking the notion of distance, in order to facilitate consensus. 95.bbThe representative of Transfrigoroute International emphasized that the question should be linked to the provisions of article4 of ATP. 96.bbThe representative of France informed the Working Party about the application of ATP to national transport in France since 1974. He expressed concern at the challenging of ATP, which was intended to facilitate international transport. He also argued that appropriate provisions could already be found in article 4 of ATP. 97.bbThe Working Party decided that it required additional information on relevant national practice. 98.bbIt was decided to keep the question on the agenda for the next session. ARTICLE 10, PARAGRAPH 1 OF ATP 99.bbThe Working Party requested France to submit to the depositary the draft concerning article10, paragraph1 of ATP, as adopted by the Working Party in document TRANS/WP.11/186.  TRIBUTE TO THE OUTGOING CHAIRMAN, MR. M. DE CLIPPEL 100.bbThe Working Party paid tribute to the tireless efforts of Mr.M.DeClippel during the previous nine years in directing the workoftheWorking Party in a spirit of pragmatism and consensus. 101.bbThe Working Party unanimously expressed its best wishes to Mr.M.DeClippel and thanked him for his constructive contributions. PROGRAMME OF WORK FOR 19951999 102.bbThe Working Party adopted its programme of work as reproduced in the annex to this report.'{,((ԌDATE OF THE NEXT SESSION 103.bbThe Working Party was informed that its fifty-second session had been provisionally scheduled for 14 to 17 October 1996.
