Ban Diesel UK: EU Finds Volkswagen Broke Consumer Laws In 20 Countries - Die Welt DieselGate.





  It looks like we are finally turning the corner with DieselGate and Volkswagen. It is impossible to keep a straight face anymore trying to minimise the damage for the autos. Please do not forget, that automakers are one of the most lucrative clients for advertising for all media. So it is very significant that CNBC is discussing today in the UK that even new diesel models of cars are emitting 12 times (!) over the limits cancer hazard pollution. What else do our Prime Minister and Mayor of London need  in order to act and protect us the people from bodily harm? Your action. Join us and donate your RTs and Favs - we can do it and Ban Diesel from our streets. Now Renault is considering to drop diesel engines altogether. I guess because people stop buying them. It is so stupid after all to pay yourself to poison your own kids every single day.

"Meeting minutes, correspondence and conversation records that SPIEGEL ONLINE and the Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet have obtained now show that the European Commission and member states knew, since 2010 at the latest, that the extremely harmful emissions from diesel cars were strikingly higher than legal levels.
But apparently none of the officials wanted the automakers to tell them why this was the case. According to EU officials, pressure from countries with a strong auto industry, most notably Germany, significantly reduced interest in an investigation. Instead of doing something about the environmental policy violation, the Commission and the member states passed the buck to each other. This undignified back-and-forth even continued after the VW scandal about manipulated diesel cars in the United States was exposed in September 2015. Spiegel. Links to the full article are below."

CNBC:

EU finds Volkswagen broke consumer laws in 20 countries - Die Welt

Reuters


"The European Commission has found that Volkswagen broke consumer laws in 20 European Union countries by cheating on emissions tests, German daily Die Welt reported, citing Commission sources. 
Among them are the Consumer Sales and Guarantees Directive — which prohibits companies from touting exaggerated environmental claims in their sales pitches — and the Unfair Commercial Practises Directive, both of which apply across the EU, the paper said. 
The European Commission said Industry Commissioner Elzbieta Bienkowska has repeatedly invited Volkswagen to consider compensating consumers voluntarily, without an encouraging response, and that it was for national courts to determine whether consumers were legally entitled to compensation.
To ensure consumers are treated fairly, a Commission spokeswoman said, to minim ise the damage for the autos.Consumer Commissioner Vera Jourova had written to consumer associations across the EU to collect information.
"She will meet relevant representatives in Brussels this week," the spokeswoman wrote in an emailed response. 
Volkswagen declined to comment. 
Jourova has been working with consumer groups to pressure Volkswagen to compensate clients in Europe as it has in the United States over the diesel emissions scandal. 
Volkswagen has pledged billions of euros to compensate owners of VW diesel-powered cars, but has so far rejected calls for similar payments for the 8.5 million affected vehicles in Europe, where different legal rules weaken the chances of winning a pay out. 
Jourova told Die Welt that she was still analysing feedback from the member states. 
"But it already appears that Volkswagen clearly breached European consumer laws in most member states. That is why I think it is necessary that we get involved to coordinate on a European level," the paper quoted her as saying in a summary of an article to be published on Monday. 
Die Welt cited sources as saying that Jourova would meet with representatives of the consumer protection groups in the coming days to discuss a strategy for claiming compensation from Volkswagen."
