table>(1)The standardised requirements of the draft Regulation of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) on uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles with regard to their pedestrian safety performance (3) and the draft UNECE Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of Light Emitting Diode (LED) light sources for use in approved signalling lamp units on power-driven vehicles and their trailers (4) are intended to remove technical barriers to the trade in motor vehicles between the Contracting Parties to the Revised 1958 Agreement and to ensure that such vehicles offer a high level of safety and protection.
