Even if nothing else changed, the UN experts would still have to discuss the classification of and transport requirements for new substances and articles, as they did at the July meeting when the subject of fuel cells arose. There were, however, several other appeals for amendments and new provisions. The UN Sub-committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (TDG) held its 29th session this past July 3 to 12 in Geneva under the chairmanship of Sergio Benassai (Italy) with Linda Hume-Sastre (Canada) as vice-chairman. The meeting was attended by experts from 24 states, observers from Bulgaria, Kenya, Switzerland and New Zealand, representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and World Health Organisation (WHO), and delegates from 35 non-governmental organisations.
