(1) By Council Decision 97/836/EC[6], the Union has acceded to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (‘Revised 1958 Agreement’).

(2) The standardised requirements of the draft UNECE Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of enhanced Child Restraint Systems used on board of motor vehicles[7] are intended to remove technical barriers to the trade in motor vehicle‑related child restraint systems between the Contracting Parties to the Revised 1958 Agreement and to ensure that such systems offer a high level of safety and protection.

(3) It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union's behalf in the Administrative Committee of the Revised 1958 Agreement concerning the adoption of that draft UNECE Regulation.
