PROVISIONAL AGENDA FOR THE SEVENTEENTH SESSION

Addendum 2

Provisional timetable

On the basis of the documentation submitted, it has been decided that the session originally scheduled for two full weeks (6-17 December 1999), can be shortened. Therefore the session will be held from 6 to 15 December 1999. The provisional timetable is reproduced overleaf.

Working groups

Two working groups have been scheduled:

-	Working group on item 2 (Development of provisions for the transport of gases) (Meeting without interpretation in a separate meeting room);

-	UN/ILO Working group on the harmonization of classification criteria (physical hazards). This group is convened in the context of global harmonization criteria, cooperation with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Inter- Organization Programme on Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) and follow-up to the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). Therefore, this group should be composed of experts familiar with transport legislation and other relevant legislation (work safety, environment, consumer protection). The subject to be addressed is the flammability of aerosols.

This working group will be held in the plenary meeting room, with interpretation in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese, in place of one or the two Sub- Committee's meetings on 13 December.
