Vehicle emissions

The inquiry committee looking into the emissions scandal will vote on its findings. ECR lead MEP on the committee, Hans-Olaf Henkel, believes the European Commission failed to do its job because EU legislation defined vague derogations from the ban on defeat devices and that way allowed unfair competition among car producers e.g. when an outdated and excessively polluting engine technology could be justified.
