According to a recent EU document, in order to prevent the recurrence of the mass group emissions scandal, the European Commission proposed that Member States thoroughly examine and modify their vehicle licensing and testing regulations, but Germany on the proposed part of the key content against attitude.
The EU wants to enforce more stringent emission standards tested by the German opposition
In September 2015, Volkswagen Group, a German automaker, admitted to the outside world that it used software to deceive exhaust pollutant emission control tests on diesel vehicles sold in the US market. And this scandal will be the EU's relatively loose car regulatory regulations placed in the focus of public opinion. This situation prompted the European Commission to propose a more stringent emission test rule in Europe.
According to reports, the European Commission's proposal that the test work should be responsible for the implementation of the government and provide financial support, rather than by the car manufacturer through the payment method for emission testing. In addition, this approach also gives the European Commission the power of any violation of the car manufacturer's punishment.
However, according to Reuters news, a newspaper on behalf of the German government said the German government opposed the European Commission to give the car manufacturers each car with a maximum of 30,000 euros (about 3.1925 million US dollars) fine power. In addition, the German government also hopes to continue to maintain the existing, by the car manufacturers to pay professional agencies to conduct exhaust emissions testing system.
According to the proposal of the European Commission, the EU member states must provide funding to the exhaust gas testing center. Of course, these test centers can also charge the car manufacturer.
The government, which represents the German government's position, also said that the deceptive behavior of the exhaust test results can be prevented by strengthening market regulation. Independent regulators of member countries should check the level of exhaust emissions from motor vehicles at the national level, rather than discussing how to fund these tests.
The newspaper also said that vehicle approval regulators should allow different emission test laboratories to take turns responsible for testing work, and in the vehicle emission test process can also be arranged for staff rotation.
It is reported that Germany is not the only one objection to the EU member states. A survey initiated by the European Parliament has accused some governments, including Italy, France and Spain, that they are deliberately delaying in implementing stricter car exhaust emission testing standards. Although there is evidence that these countries have exceeded the statutory limits of vehicle exhaust emissions.
The European Commission has been frustrated by the promotion of these policies as a result of the convergence between the member states and the carmakers. Last December, the European Union filed legal proceedings against some countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom and five other EU member states.
While the Member States are still discussing these proposals in the European Union, the European Commission hopes that countries will be able to give a final position by the end of May. And the European Parliament has approved the proposal.
For the final adoption of this proposal, but also need to wait for the three major legislatures to negotiate negotiations.
A spokesman for the European Commission said: "We will invite the joint legislators to support our major objectives, so that we can in the vehicle test link to introduce a higher quality independent testing institutions.In addition, has been used in Europe Links to the vehicle, can also take a wider range of supervision.
